This Months Specialty Foot is the:
Edge Joining Feet
The Edge Joinging Feet have a guide (flange) in the center to aid you in aligning one or two edges of fabric for precise decorative sewing, topstitching, or joining pieces together. The flange along the center of the foot keeps the distance between the edge of the fabric and the stitching consistent.
The Edge Joining Foot is great for precise topstitching. A perfect choice to guide trims that are sewn to an edge or when two trims are sewn together.
The Clear B Edge Joining Foot provides more visibility to guide decorative stitching along an edge perfectly. The tunnel on the bottom of the foot allows stitches to form perfectly and feed flawlessly.
The Clear Stitch-In-The-Ditch Foot has excellent visibility, and ease of use, when stitching in the ditch of quilts or invisible topstitching along seams of bindings or garments. There are guidelines to turn corners on preferred measurements. This foot has only a single hole for the needle to pass through to help keep stitches smooth and even. If you need to use a decorative stitch or different needle position then switch to the Edge Joining Foot or Clear B Edge Joining foot.

Ideas for using the Edge Joining Feet:
Add precise topstitching along: pockets, cuffs, collars, yokes, bindings, facings, or edges of finished items to hold permanent creases.
With decorative or invisible thread join two pieces of materials together: fabric to fabric, fabric to lace, lace to ribbons, batting to batting (to extend yardages), and any combination of fabrics and trims.
Great for adding decorative fabrics or trims to extend the lengths of garments for growing children. Makes the clothing last a bit longer as well as adding a bit of whimsy or creative fashion.
Use the Clear Stitch-In-The-Ditch for invisible quilting, stitching down binding, or invisible topstitching on garments for cuffs and yokes, etc.
That's just a few ideas. What can you think of?
