Accessory feet

Over the last 12 months I have been asked many times what is this foot for and whats that foot for, today I decided to take a look at the feet that came with my Janome Horizon,
I found a cording foot and along with some cord and thread and a bit of glitz came up with a nice aqua blue sample. I am putting together a list of accessory feet hopefully to do a workshop on how to use some of the feet to create decorative stitched panels which then can be used for books cover, bags etc...

The Quilt to the right of the photo is the quilt we have just started the blocks use several different techniques.

Last of the quilts from Billington

Christine
A very green quilt although green is not christine's favorite colour. this has given us lots of laughs along the way, christine prefers to stitch in the gutter and not the ditch but as you can see it worked for her (sorry christine could'ent resist)
The olive green fabric looks like velvet.
