The cording foot is another tool I use a lot.
The Cording Foot allows you to attach thin cording, yarn, or ribbon neatly and precisely to sewing projects. Use a tricot stitch and decorative thread for a truly unique look. The Janome type makes it possible to do one or more cords, but most of the cording feet are for doing one at a time. Because the small trim is so wonderful for doll dresses, this foot is a must have if you are sewing a lot of dresses. If you have a different brand of machine, just run a search for “cording foot for (your machine).
I have used this foot in the past to put on strings of tiny beads. It gives a beautifully even trim.
When sewing trim on, be sure to draw a line with your disappearing ink pen on the exact place you want to sew the cording or other decoration, so it lays exactly where you want it! I used it to sew the cording at the top of the lace on this voile dress for Patsy Ann.
I will in a later post put on a video of this foot in action!
