Cording Foot

3mm (BLe-cF3) Instructions

This foot easily serges decorative cording and piping as it finishes the seams in one step. It also adds stability as you serge by keeping the material flat. Choose the 3mm or 5mm for various sizes of cording and piping, depending on the look you desire.

A sewing machine cording foot is shown on a piece of pink fabric with a decorative pattern. A thick, twisted cord (cording or piping) is placed in the groove of the foot, ready to be sewn into the fabric seam. The foot is made of silver-colored metal.
