Cording; Single Cording; Triple Cording - Bernette Chicago 7 Instruction Manual

Basic Sewing Procedures

Cording

* The cording foot accessory is optional. It is not included with this machine.
Sew over one strand of cording to create a pretty swirled
design on a jacket or vest or sew over three strands of cord-
ing for border trims. Pearl cotton, knitting yarn, embroidery
floss, lace thread, fine wool or lily yarn can be used for cord-
ing.

Single cording

Mark the design on the fabric. Insert the cord in the
•
center groove of the cording foot from the right side
opening.
Pull the cord about 5cm (2 inches) behind the foot.
•
• The grooves under the foot will hold the length of the
cord in place while the stitches are being formed over
the cord.
• Select the stitch and adjust the stitch width so that the
stitches just cover the cord.
• Lower the foot and sew slowly, guiding the cord over
the design.

Triple cording

• Push the sewing thread to the left and insert three
cords into the grooves of the foot and pull about 5cm
(2 inches) of the cords behind the foot.
• Select the desired pattern and adjust the stitch width
so that the stitches just cover the cords. Lower the foot
and sew slowly guiding the cords.
