I love working with silks! The inspiration for this project—a beautiful spiral pillow from Linda Wenturine’s Pillow Panache Trio—is on the BERNINA of America website (www.berninausa.com). I made two small changes to the spirals to completely change the look of the finished project.
Ruffler Foot #86
I cut 3 1/2 inch strips for my ruffles that I sewed, turned, pressed and ruffled for the pillow. The gathering foot would have had a tough time working its magic with the seam allowance down the center of the fabric strip. The ruffler plowed through perfectly.
