A method for stitching one work piece to another or for stitching a decorative stitch line along a work piece. In one embodiment, the method includes first arranging a stencil over at least a portion of a work piece to be stitched where the stencil is cut from a material having a color selected to contrast with a color of the work piece. Next, a computer-controlled sewing apparatus having a machine-vision capability is used to stitch along a path that corresponds generally to an outer edge of the stencil. If necessary, the computer-controlled sewing apparatus can adjust its stitching path in response to detecting the stencil. Then, after stitching is completed, the stencil is removed from the work piece.
