Corded Welting
Cable cord comes in a variety of sizes and when covered with a firmly woven fabric makes a corded welting that is an excellent seam finish.
This welting is prepared in advance and then stitched into the seam. Cut a true bias strip 1¼ inches wide, plus three times the width of the cord of either self or contrasting fabric. Sew strips together on the lengthwise grain to obtain desired length.
●Adjust zipper foot to left side of needle.
●Encase cord in bias strip, raw edges even.
●Lower presser bar.
●Stitch close to cord, using a stitch length slightly longer than for plain seaming of same fabric.
●Do not crowd stitching against cord.
