Default new use for zipper foot

I am making some snowball blocks and decided I want to use the corner pieces I would be chopping off. My zipper foot makes a perfect half inch seam if I use the left edge along my first stitch line and sew on the right edge of the foot. Then just cut between the 2 seams. Easy peasy!

Thanks for the info. I just LOVE things that do double/triple and more duty. I'm going to try this.
