* 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 cording for border
trims. Pearl cotton, knitting yarn, embroidery
floss, lace thread, fine wool or lily yarn can be
used for cording.
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 form over the cord.
Select the stitch and adjust the stitch width so
that the stitches are just covering 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 are just
covering the cords. Lower the foot and sew
slowly guiding the cords.
