" On behalf of expertvillage.com, I am Jennifer with A Perfect Fit Alterations, we’re located on 102 S. Main Street in Burleson, Texas. Our phone number is 817-447-3522. We’re continuing on with our clip; we’ve done the appliqué stitch all the way around the poodle, now we’re going to add a leash. This leash is going to be a sliver piping; I’m going to show you how to put the silver piping on. We have decided to use a black thread because we have different colors in the poodle hair, so we’re going to use a black thread to zigzag over the top. It’s not real important what you put in the bobbin. We have a white in the bobbin here. You won’t see that because when we finish our project it’ll be on the back side, so that part is not real important. Okay we’re going to start here on the edge, and we’re just going to pin it just a little bit. This is going to be a little difficult to pin. We’re using our appliqué foot so that it’s open here and we can see what we’re doing, and we’re using a wide zigzag stitch and our stitch length is fairly wide. And I’m adjusting it here, making the width just a little longer. And with this foot this allows you to turn, you make corners turn corners real easily and keep the zigzag over top of the trim. It takes a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it you’ll have lots of fun putting trim on with the zigzag."
