I've seen the feet demonstrated, but never used one on a sewing machine. This can also be accomplished with speciality feet on a basic serger, like my old workhorse White Superlock 534. Check out some of the videos at Nancy's Notions. This website features the feet for sewing machines.

About 25 yrs. ago, I took a serger class at a local college where the instructor taught how to couch ribbon, sequins, and beading while making a sample pillow. Stop by a store and browse the serger instruction books or check out your local library. The feet for sewing machines and sergers are not interchangeable. Hope you have fun!
