fabric.
To cover and attach piping/cording in fabric
seam:
1. Fold bias strip of fabric right side out around the cording.
2. Sandwich covered cording between 2 layers of fabric
with right sides together.
3. Place under the presser foot with raw edges to the right
and the cording in the cord groove in the sole of the foot.
4. Be sure to guide the cord in the groove while sewing.
piping/Cording Foot
5mm
(BLE8-CF)
Instructions
Use this 5mm foot to create decorative stitching over cording on
single and double layers of fabric. Attaching decorative cords and
thread is a snap. This foot eliminates tangling to ensure that cords
up to 5mm lie flat and perfectly parallel to each other. The cording
foot controls threads so both hands can guide the fabric.
