"This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. I have now cut the pieces of the gimp, decorative gimp fabric 3 1/2 inches wide. I have pinned it right sides together with the squares that I have already sewn together. I have it pinned on the top and on the bottom and I would take it to the sewing machine and sew about 1/2 inch from the edge. To put the top and bottom gimp piece on with the other squares.

Then we would be adding the back side in a future clip. "
