Default Suggestions Needed For Demos at the AQS in Grand Papids

I have been asked to do 'Machine Accessory Explorations' demos at the AQS in Grand Rapids. I'm so excited! Now for my question. What accessory, foot, idea would you wish to see demonstrated at a major quilt show? My local dealer will have a notions booth and I will be sitting at my machine doing demonstrations. Looking forward to your suggestions!

What kind of machine are you using? If it has a ruler foot, you could do using long arm rulers on a sewing machine.

I would ask your dealer on what is new in accessories for the machine you will be demoing on.

Unique things to do with some of the standard feet.

Circular attachment is fun and really a no-brainer to use, but it produces such lovely affects and embellishments.

Binding with the flat felled foot - especially turning the corners!

Crazy quilts use all types of cording, lace and such. I bet a lot of people would be interested in seeing how that could done with specialty feet. The most attended sewing display at the IQF in Houston was a lady demonstrating binding by machine so that it looked good. I don't know if she was using any specialty feet.

I'd love to see bobbin work (using a heavier thread in a bobbin), and maybe cording.

Could you give us a list of the specialty feet you can use and what they are typically used for? Or how they could be used in quilting?

I had thought about using the blind hemmer foot to put the bias binding on the back of QAYG blocks. Don't know if it's possible.

A binding foot that sews the front and back at the same time.
