PIPED PORTIONS
• Fabric strips should be cut 1¼” plus the circumference of the cord being used.
• Trim the 2” strip, if needed, to work with the cording being used. This should result in
a
5
/
8
” seam, once the piping is made.
Note: Strips should be cut on the bias; however, crosswise and lengthwise
strips may be used if there are no corners to be turned or curves to maneuver.
• Fold the wrong side of the fabric around the filler cord and position it under the presser
foot with the folded edge to the left and the cord under the center of the foot so it rides
in the large groove.
• Using a straight stitch and with the needle in one of the right positions, begin stitching. The
stitches will be alongside the cord, creating a
5
/
8
” seam.
• Once the piping is made, it is ready to be inserted into a seam.
• Cut the other fabric piece in half, making two 2” x 6” pieces.
• Insert the piping using the same foot.
