i have had a couching foot kit as a thank you gift and would love to do more work with it. i would love some simple flowing designs that i can use on purses and similar but cannot find any. is there a brave digitiser that could do some on the red work for quilt blocks style.

the stitch is a wide long zig zag.
I would ideally like to do it on small items like the glass cases and such. then later move on to quilt blocks.
I know phaff and huscath-viking(sp) do some designs but these are large ones.
thank you for reading

if your machine uses a snap on foot then the chances are the couching foot will fit it.
there are lots of vidios to show you how to do free motion embroidery useing the couching foot.
I am goinmg to have a go at it this weekend in between doing other small items like a draft valance for around the base of our little motor home to keep the draft out of the awning. I have a mountain of ripstop nylon that is perfect for this work.then there is the cell phone holder with the snap closure that my daughter wants me to do. plus makeing a start on the denim cathederal window quilt by cutting squares out of the flowery curtain fabric that i got from freecycle to in the center of the folded circles. hubby wants steak egg and chips for tea the two dogs will have minced beef with mixed veg and rice and if i get a chance i am hopeing to dive into the toilet in passing to help relieve a situation if needed. please do not send in hints and tips on how to sweep the floor and clean the windows at the same timeas i have a pretty good idea on how to acomplish that small miracle. now where did i leave my inline skates.

Are you sure you can use a couching foot on your embroidery machine? I can use one on the sewing part - and have done that quite often - but I would not be able to use mine when embroidering.

I've seen ads specifically for designs used with the couching foot. Of course, it was ads for a specific machine, which wasn't mine. I think it would be loads of fun to try.

I've never heard of this either. Sure would like to see a picture of a project using this.
