What pressure foot do I need?
I saw a quilt at a show that had a thin ribbon stitched in the seams between the blocks horizontally and vertically. What is the foot that feeds the ribbon and sews at the same time? I have a Brother sewing/embroidery machine.

The foot that feeds cord through is called a couching foot but I don't know if it would feed ribbon. I think there are different widths of couching feet available though.

In your search, look for "Braiding Foot"... some have an adjustable width thingie in the front for different widths of Ribbon/Braid.
I'm in the middle of moving. My Babylock "jewelry box" full of feet hasn't surfaced - yet. If I knew where it was, I'd dig for that foot to show you. I'm off to see if I can find a picture of what I'm thinking of... :) |

my pfaff calls it a decorative trim foot and it works great for flat ribbons. the couching foot is really nice for yarns and such but doesn't hold them flat.

I agree with RipStitcher, a braiding foot is what Brother calls the specialty foot for braids, ribbons, cords or tapes up to 7mm wide.

I just learned to do this last week in class. You need a Ribbon/sequin foot.
|
Forgot to add you can also use your regular foot and use ladder stitch to sew ribbon on fabric. You may have to play with the width depending on how wide the ribbon is.

I ordered a couching foot and a braiding foot. Thanks to all!
