Corded Seams

The corded seam is a typical treatment for slip covers, children's clothes, blouses and lingerie.

When cording a seam the zipper foot is usually adjusted to the right of the needle so that the bulk of the work will fall to the left.

Attach corded welting to right side of a single seam edge, using same length stitch as used for welting (page 46). Guide edge of foot next to cord but do not crowd.

Place attached corded welting over second seam edge, and pin or baste together.

Keep the first stitching uppermost as a guide and position the seam under the needle.

Stitch, this time crowding the foot against the cord.

This method produces evenly joined seam edges and tightly set welting.

Curved seams are corded as easily as straight seams, except that a shorter stitch is used. Since the seam allowance of the welting is bias, it is easy to same it to the seam.
