The 7-hole cord foot and the braiding foot are both forms of couching feet that complement each other but act very differently. Playing with a variety of threads, fibers, fabrics and trims, create samples of more than a dozen different techniques both practical and decorative. The techniques will broaden your stitching choices and make the things you do every day faster, and easier than ever. Feats include elastic shirring, heavy duty gathering, elastic casings, smocking by machine two ways, couching effects with various threads and fabric strips, split couching, corded entredeux, twin needle couched ribbon, padded satin stitches, mini-ric rac, middy braid and a bonus, of course!
