• Cords:
Directions
• Draw the desired design on the surface of the fabric
• Cut decorative threads/cord 3x the desired finished length.
• Sink the needle into the fabric.
• Fold the decorative thread/cord in half and place the center point behind the needle, pulling
the ends forward, one on each side of the needle.
• Secure the decorative thread/cord to the fabric by sewing 2-3 forward and reverse stitches
over the center point.
• Stop sewing with the needle in the fabric in front of the cord.
• Pull the cords to the front of the needle, overlapping them to form an "X".
• Stitch over the crossed cords to secure; the machine stops at the end of the pattern repeat.
• Continue stitching in this manner, following the drawn design lines.
Hints
• Vary the number of stitches to produce different effects.
• Use Memory or Pattern End for automatic stitching.
• Fewer stitches and a shorter stitch length = tight, braided look.
• Use various stitch lengths.
• Double Needle can also be used.
