Making Gathered Ribbon on Husqvarna Viking

I managed to carry these photos around with me for quite some time. I am very excited to share with you a stitch that works very well gathering ribbon for embellishment. Sorry for the delay. 

This childrens stitch works wonderful for gathering organdy ribbon with the gathering foot. The important component is the very long stitch length of 16mm. This was done on the Designer Diamond Deluxe. Look to see if you have this stitch on your Sewing machine or something similar.

Using all of the same steps as the article below, use your gathering foot to achieve this gathering effect.
Use 40wt Rayon thread, metallic thread or glowy thread and remember you need stabilizer.

Light colour ribbon on zipper for handbag. It is actually sitting on top of a quilt I am working on using the Hex N More Ruler.
