Help with finishing a quilted baby bib

If you haven't sewn them all yet - sew the ends first opened flat and turn
them. That's how I did the ones I made. If 1/2" is still too narrow try
sewing them on a sheet of paper. The small section just at the end of the
bib can be slip stitched close in seconds.

Hi all,

I'm making quilted baby bibs for a co-worker who just had a baby. I'm
using a 1/4" bias strip all around edges of the bib, and the tape is
supposed to extend beyond the bib by several inches on either side of
the top for tying.

Once I'm done sewing the bias strip to the bib and begin to stitch it
where it comes off the bib (to secure the edges of the strip), it is too
thin to be fed properly by the feed dogs on the machine, so I'm running
into trouble keeping the sttiches even.

Anyone have any suggestions? I just can't figure out how to do this.
I'm using a Husqvarna Viking 1+ machine, with presser foot "A." Thanks.

Solvy! That's the word. It just wouldn't come to me last night. When I'm
stitching on wee garments at tricky spots - such as putting a button hole at
the neckline edge with varying thickness, I use Solvy. Of course there's
probably Solvy, Super Solvy and New and Improved Scented Solvy now, don't
know, but you need just a little Solvy. It is usually easy to gently tear
off. If it doesn't, a wet cotton swab will erase the remains. Polly
