Before installing the cording foot, ensure your sewing machine is turned off and unplugged for safety.

3. Notkunarleiðbeiningar
The cording foot is designed to sew over cording, creating a decorative raised effect. Follow these steps for optimal results:
- Prepare Your Fabric and Cording: Place your fabric under the cording foot. Insert the cording into the groove on the underside of the cording foot. The groove will guide the cording as you sew.
- Select Stitch Type: For cording, a zigzag stitch is commonly used as it straddles the cord, securing it to the fabric. Adjust the stitch width to be slightly wider than the cord, and the stitch length to a medium setting. Experiment on a scrap piece of fabric first.
- Position the Needle: Ensure the needle is set to swing from side to side, catching the fabric on both sides of the cord. The needle should not pierce the cord itself, but rather sew over it.
- Byrjaðu að sauma: Slowly lower the needle into the fabric and begin sewing. Guide the fabric and cording gently, allowing the foot to feed the cording evenly. Maintain a consistent speed.
- Multiple Cords (Optional): Some cording feet have multiple grooves for sewing several cords simultaneously. If your foot has this feature, insert each cord into its respective groove.
Ábending: Always test your stitch settings on a scrap piece of fabric with the same cording and fabric type you plan to use for your project.
