Corded Seams
The corded seam is a typical treat
ment 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 stitch length as used for welt-
ing
(page 33).
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 allow
ance of the welting is bias, it is easy to
shape it to the seam.
