Corded Seams
The cord,ed 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.

This attachment offers a simple and
effective way to make gathered and
pleated ruffles. Ruffles may be made
separately or made and applied at the
same time.
Adjusting Points
1. Adjusting lever sets ruffler for gathers
or pleats. Number 1 space setting is for
gathers and places fullness at every
stitch. Numbers 6 and 12 are space
settings for pleats, spacing them 6 or
12 stitches apart. Star is for plain
stitching and is used when grouping
gathers or pleats.
2. Adjusting finger is used only for
pleating
and affects width of pleat. It
is disengaged by bringing it out of
contact with adjusting screw.
3. Adjusting screw regulates fullness of
gathers or pleats.
When turned in to its
limit with adjusting finger in place,
attachment is set for its deepest pleat.
When turned outward to its limit, with
adjusting finger out of action, ruffler
gives only a hint of fullness.
