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 40).
Guide edge of foot next to cord, but
do not crowd.
• Place attached corded welting over
second seam edge, and pin or baste
together,
0 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 shape
it to the seam.
