Hi Patricia, thanks for asking. This foot has a length of 60 mm / 2 ½”, it is therefre not ideal for sewing around corners. Another important factor to consider is the size of the round pillow corner and the size of the piping, i.e. the total material under the foot. And not to forget, the skills of the sewist will matter too. We recommend using the XL piping foot to produce the meters of piping you need and then stitch it in place using the sewing machine with Roller Foot 55, Zipper Foot 4D or Bulky Overlock Foot 12. I got best results using foot 4D when working with piping of up to 10 mm diameter. Anyway, I guess you should try stitching a sewing sample before anything else. Practice makes perfect. We wish you good success with the XL piping foot!
Dear bojananedic-u7p, for sewing piping on the L 450, we suggest that you use the Multi-purpose Foot for the L4 Seriers. Theis foot has a groove on the underside that guides piping to be made and/or sewn in. Its open guide to the right of the needles eases sewing in strands of beads and sequins. Its article number is 502 070 03 51. We have also published a video showing how to use it: ua-cam.com/video/GpjCbFONnM0/v-deo.html. For more information please contact your BERNINA dealer.
