I use some of my decorative stitches - the more open/less dense ones to sew on my binding as I don't do hand work anymore.
I use the dec stitches [again, the less dense stitching ones] a LOT in bobbin work: where you put prettier and thicker threads in the bobbin for a great look. You just sew 'upside down' in that the bottom is up when you do this technique. Looks really WOW with something like a Razzle Dazzle thread.
