With my machine I have an attachment that is used for sewing bias binding onto projects. It does not like strips wider than one inch. I will run non bias, cross grain [wof] through it minus project to get great double fold narrow stringletts that will be great for small purse handles or drawstrings and much more. Also you can use the same thing with project to bind off raw edges...as long as there is no curve it works fine...for example take a quilted strip or doubled strip of fabric, bind the raw edges and you have great purse handles or straps. Also you could take those bits raw edges and all and weave them together to make some "new" fabric. I usually do this on a piece of fusible side up interfacing and when the weaving is done a bit of a press makes it very stable. It makes great place-mats.
