Video Guide: How to Use a Taping Foot for Ribbons, Bands & Stretch Control

Learn how to use a taping foot to sew decorative ribbons, bands, and braiding—or to insert cotton tape for stabilizing stretch-prone fabrics in garments.

What You’ll Learn:

• Machine setup for a 2-needle wide coverhem or 3-thread overlock (ideal for edge tape application)
• How to insert ⅜" ribbon or tape into the foot slot and adjust the guide
• Marking placement lines with wash-away or fade-away markers for accurate stitching
• Proper positioning of fabric and tape under the foot, and lowering needles into place
• Starting with handwheel stitches for precision, then sewing along marked lines for a clean finish

This technique is perfect for home décor, activewear, or any project needing stretch control and decorative accents.
