Corded Welting
Cable cord comes in a variety of
sizes and when covered with a firmly
woven fabric makes a welting that is
an excellent seam finish.
This welting is prepared in advance
and then stitched into the seam. Cut a
true bias strip 1^4 inches wide, plus
three times the width of the cord of
either self or contrasting fabric. Sew
strips together on the lengthwise grain
to obtain desired length.
Adjust zipper foot to left side of
needle.
Encase cord in bias strip, raw
edges even.
Lower presser bar.
Stitch close to cord, using a stitch
length slightly longer than for
regular seaming.
Do not crowd stitching against
cord.
