Sewing Tip: Mini Cording

Tip by Betty

Cut bias 1 1/2" wide (trim to seam width AFTER
covering), I use J P Coat's "Speed-Cro-Sheen" crochet
thread, and the 5 groove pintuck foot to make mini
cording. This foot makes covering the cord a breeze.

I measure and mark the width of finished yoke on the
covered cording, allowing extra on each end to hold on
to. Using the same pintuck foot, I attach the cording
to the inset first so I can place it just right, then
I add the yoke, still using the same foot. There are
other ways to accomplish the same thing, try them all
and use the one that you are most comfortable with.
