Sewing on cords

Sewing one or three cords to make attractive structures on jackets, waistcoats
or borders. Mercerized yarn, knitting wool, cord, crochet yarn etc. can be used.

Sewing single cords

Draw the pattern onto the fabric. Place the cord from the right into the middle
groove of the overcasting presser foot. Pull the cord out about 5 cm behind
the presser foot.
The grooves below the presser foot keep the cord in the right position whilst
it is being sewn over.
Select the stitch and stitch width so that the stitches just reach over the cord.
Lower the presser foot and sew slowly guiding the cord along the pattern.

Sewing triple cords

Push the sewing thread to the left and insert the three cords into the grooves
below the presser foot. Pull each of the cords out about 5 cm behind the
presser foot. Select the required pattern and stitch width so that the stitches
just reach over the cords. Lower the presser foot and sew slowly guiding the
cords along the pattern.
