Love what you did with the dress. |
It's a foot I got with my new machine. It is clear and plastic and has a little notch on it for the string of beads to go through. It cannot do single beads, just a string. I string the beads on a clear, stretchy cord and use a crimping bead at each end to "lock" the beads on the cord. Then I get it all lined up on my machine and set a zigzag stitch the the correct length and sew very slowly. The foot can only fit a 4mm bead or less. But that seems to be a good size for the dresses.
