CORDED SEAMS

The corded seam is a typical treatment

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 the corded welting to the right

side of a single seam edge, with the same

stitch length used to make the welting

(page 36). Guide the edge of the foot next

to cord but do not crowd.

Place the attached corded welting over

the 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

length is used. Since the seam allowance

of the welting is bias, it is not difficult

to shape it to the seam.
