I only have one machine with decorative stitches and it doesn't have enough to really make it look pretty. I tried a zig zag once and I broke 4 needles before I realized the slot the needle goes in in the walking foot won't accommodate a large zig zag...or even a medium size one for that matter. I apply binding on one side using a straight stitch with my walking foot on my big vintage singer, then hand stitch it on the other side using what looks like a ladder stitch, but I've had people tell me it's a "blind" stitch. I have no idea what it's called I just hide the stitching.
