The Cording Foot Snaps onto the existing shank and presser foot holder on your machine. The guide on the top of the foot has three slots in which to place cords. To load the cords into the slots on the top of the foot, simply slide the cords in from the right. Load the left cord first, then the center cord and finally the right cord.

Tip: Tie the ends of the cords together with a knot in order to keep the cords from slipping out of the back of the foot.

Any type of cord from yarn to thin braid can be used in the Cording Foot, as long as it is thin enough to easily pass through the slots on the top of the foot. The bottom of the Cording Foot has grooves which allow the cords and dense stitching to pass freely underneath.
Select a decorative stitch, with the stitch width set wide enough to cover the width of the cords.
Experiment with various types of stitches and decorative threads to create unique combinations.

Gathering Fabrics

The Cording Foot can also be used to gather fabrics. Because the gathering cord is thicker than normal gathering stitches, there is less chance for the thread to break while drawing the fabric to gather it. Place a single strand of the cord into the center groove.
Secure the cord by tying a knot in the end and bringing the knot behind the presser foot. Select a narrow zig-zag stitch that is just wide enough to sew over the cord, but not sew into the cord.
Stitch the cord to the fabric. When finished, pull the cord, which will draw up (or gather) the fabric. adjust the fullness of the fabric as desired, then knot the end of the cord to secure.

Texture Fabric

Combine rows and rows of cords to create an interesting texture to embellish fabric. To expose more of the cords themselves, try using monofilament thread in the needle.
This makes the stitching almost invisible. This textured fabric has been used to embellish a napkin ring. What will you use your textured fabric for?

Make Plaid

make a fun plaid design by sewing rows of cords across the fabric horizontally, then sewing rows of cords down the fabric vertically. Vary the width between rows and combinations of cords to add interest to your plaid design.
Combine different decorative machine stitches with different combinations of cords for unique embellishments.

The Cording Foot is mainly used to add surface embellishment to fabrics, but it has some practical uses, too. This foot has a slotted guide on the top which holds up to three separate lightweight yarns or cords. The cords are held by the foot, while you stitch them to the fabric. You can use one…two…or three holes, depending on the effect you want. You’ll have fun experimenting with different decorative stitches and combinations of cords!

In general, we recommend using the same size cording foot as the piping you’re hoping to sew. This works for most firm piping cords. However, if you’re going to be using a soft piping cord like our Cotton Braided Piping Cord (#104888), then we recommend sizing up a foot. These softer cords can get crushed by the foot, which causes your sewing to wander. A larger foot will prevent this.

For the Fabricator® Sewing Machine, we offer cording feet in three sizes: 1/8-, 1/4- and 3/16-inch. The Ultrafeed® Sewing Machines feature piping tunnels built-into their standard presser feet. The LS-1 model features a 1/4-inch piping tunnel, while the LSZ-1 model features only a 5/32-inch piping tunnel. To sew larger piping with the Ultrafeed LSZ-1, you can upgrade to the Cording Foot Set for Larger Welting (#104854), which works for piping up to 1/4-inch.

We also carry extra-large welting cords that are 1/2 inch to 1 inch in diameter. Since there aren’t cording feet large enough to feed these cords through the foot, we recommend using a roping zipper foot. This foot will let you sew close to the piping for a tight fit of the fabric around your cord.
