I have found another use for SID foot, totally by accident. I use the extended metal piece as a guide when I am making my flying geese blocks. It's so much easier to keep on the line, and the geese 'flew' perfectly. My Cog's Block is an example of this!

Fold the square corner to corner

Cut 1/4" fron the sewing line, open, press and repeat for the other side

place on the rectangle piece and pin so all raw edges match up

Let me know what you think of it! My geese are absolutely perfect with this. Now, this isn't what I use when I do the speed piece method of Quilterscache.com. This is only for the rectangle and squares blocks.

What is the quilterscache speed piece method?

If you go to quilterscache.com, the drop down box will ask where you want to go today. Find the bar that says HOW TO - PROJECTS, open that up, and scroll down to HOW TO MAKE FLYING GEESE, it is speed piece method B.

I have this foot and know it as my
quilting foot. How do you use it as a guide for stitch in the ditch?
