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.
