I have a couching foot for my sewing machine. Any ideas on where or when to use it?
You would use it to secure cord/yarn in a decorative design.
Here is a video on how to use it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LD98zFAl2M
I could see using this for a Celtic design instead of raw edge or turned applique.
Here's a recent post:
couching patterns
Here are some Ipad cases I made for my friends for Christmas. These work up really quickly, I couched different threads, yarns and cords then added some decorative machine stitches. If I hadn't waited until the last minute, I would have added beads.

I haven't used mine lately; but I used it for securing cord in heirloom dresses for my granddaughter and in making other heirloom items. I enjoyed using the foot.
