A method of stitching one work piece to another or for stitching a decorative stitch line along a work piece. In one embodiment the method includes providing a first work piece having a first edge along which a stitch is to be made and providing a template having an edge that corresponds generally to at least a portion the first edge of the first work piece. The template is made from a material having a color selected to contrast with a color of the first work piece. The first work piece is then placed against the template so that the work piece's first edge abuts at least a portion of the edge of the template. Next, a computer-controlled sewing machine that has a machine-vision capability is used to stitch along a path that corresponds generally to a boundary between the first edge of the first work piece and the edge of the template. If necessary or appropriate, the computer-controlled sewing machine can adjust its stitching path in response to detecting the template. Then, after stitching is completed, the first work piece is separated from the template.
