    Stitch In the Ditch Tool

    Has anyone purchased the Stitch in the Ditch tool that Nancy Zieman has on her website? If so, does it work on a Viking? Her website says it does. Does it work?

    Not sure if that tool works, have never hear of it, but if you have a blind hem foot, you can use it to stitch in the ditch...at least I know on Brothers you can

    Thanks, Tammy. Never heard of blind hem foot. I'll check it out. I saw Nancy Z use the foot on youtube also.

    You probably already have it, I think most sewing machines come with one, at least all of mine did, I have three. I'd check and see if you have one first

    Hi

    I have a Stitch in the Ditch Foot, which I am assuming is the tool on Nancy's Notions? I use this foot all the time, it has the little "blade" like piece on the bottom that goes in the ditch of the seam, works great for me. I use it on my Babylock Symphony and Elegante2.....the foot is by Alphasew that I have. Very similar to the blind hem foot, but the blade thing is in the center and sturdier than the blind hem blade...least on mine.

    Sure if would work on any machine, mine isn't a Babylock foot, per say.

    I have a viking and the foot I use for stitch in the ditch foot is the edge joining foot. It has a metal blade that rides in the seam.

    But don't use it if you press your seams open :-) !!!!!!!

    I thought you needed to use your walking foot.
