CORDED SEAMS
The
corded
seam
Is
a
professional
treatment
for
slipcovers,
children’s
clothes,
blouses,
and
lingerie.
To
make
a
corded
seam,
make
the
welting
first
(or
buy
it
ready-made
at
a
notions
counter),
then
stitch
it
into
the
seam.
For
both
steps,
use
the
zipper
foot
so
that
you
can
place the stitching close to the cord.
