Corded Seams
The corded seam is a typical treatment for
slip covers, children’s clothes, blouses and
lingerie.
When cording a seam the iipper 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 29).
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 shape it to the seam.
