Hi all
I was given a Bernina Free Motion Couching foot for Christmas and finally got round to playing with it last night. I am having problems with it though can anyone advise? I have loaded it correctly and attached the thread feeder to the side of my machine. When I start of the cord is being couched - but when I swirl round and go back on myself it does not catch the cord. I have tried all sorts of cord and yarn. The only thing I can think of is the cord is too thin? Anyone got any suggestions.

Good websites for sharing. Thanks

Thank you so much, the third one is really good (so are the other two, but the third is really clear)

Are you using a small zig zag stitch? I like to use that so if I'm off a little some of the stitch catches the fiber/yarn.

I've mostly seen it used with a fairly stiff cord. Practice will probably give you the experience needed. I have not used mine so good for you for doing it...lol.

The bernina couching foot only sews a stretch stitch., but good idea
