Thanks all!
I used the ready-made fusible Clover bias tape. Didn't use a double-needle although that may have been easier? Don't know. I just used my topstitch needle and my edge stitching foot and followed the edge of the tape (after fusing it) to stitch it down on each side really close. Yes, it took some time! The pattern has you do it all at the end of piecing the whole top but I did it in sections- seemed it would be easier to me and I followed the seam line for fusing it down. Hope this makes sense to you all lol.
