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.
