Hey I like that kill 2 birds with 1 stone how awesome is that thanks for sharing.

who'd have thunk it... however, not all machine feet are created equal. I will look at my Brother foot...

Outstanding idea! Love it when you can use one thing to do more than it was intended for.

Great idea to accumulate already sewn HST - and it doesn't actually have to be a perfect 1/2" either - close counts when it is sewn this way. A little on the skimpy side works fine when you don't have to move those little triangles through the needle path all by themselves.

How awesome is this - more multi-sewing gadgets we already all own! Thanks much for a wonderful tip.
