Technique Tuesday: Circular Stitching Attachment

Michelle shows how to use the Circular Sewing Attachment for Baby Lock and Brother sewing machines. The kit comes with the attachment, Braiding Foot, Cording Foot and template. Michelle recommends using it with stabilized fabric and an extension table on the sewing machine so you don't get any distortion. You'll get a close up of inserting threads in the cording foot and then sewing out a beautiful feather stitch. Pro tip: Do not drive (push or pull the fabric) and let the machine do the sewing!
Bonus: Michelle loves that it comes with a concise, printed instruction book -- something you don't see a lot anymore.

You were right the first time with mm rather than degrees being what the numbers show on the attachment. The measurements are for the distance from your needle if your needle is in the centre position. It tells you what the radius of your circle will be. You double that measurement to know how far across the whole circle will be. So a setting of 50 is 50mm radius and 100mm diameter - a circle pretty much 4" across. :-)

Could you use the embroidery stickers for this?
