Baby Lock ESG Series Cording Foot Instructions
Instructions
The Baby Lock Cording Foot can be used functionally or decoratively. In the Baby Lock group of cording feet you can choose from 3-, 5-, or 7- hole. This will allow you to sew over numerous decorative threads and lightweight cords when doing Venetian or Parisian hemstitching.
Let’s explore a few of these techniques
MACHINE SETTINGS
- Stitch: All-forward open decorative stitches
- Stitch length: Pre -set or wider, use twin needle selection for twin and triple needles
- Stitch width: Pre-set
- Tension: Pre-set
When gathering yards of ruffles or heavy fabric, use any one of the three
cording feet and insert the cord into the center hole or opening of the foot.
Set your Baby Lock machine for a narrow zigzag stitch that is wide enough to
stitch over but not into the cord. Position the fabric under the foot and sew
over the cording. After stitching, you can easily pull the cord for the
desired fullness of your ruffle.
Attaching decorative cords and threads has never been easier! Select threads and small cords that will glide easily through the holes on the cording foot of your choice. Select the multi-step zigzag stitch and adjust it wide enough to catch the outside threads. Now that your threads are under control, you can place both hands on the fabric to guide and move through the pattern you select.
Try Parisian or Venetian hemstitching using your multihole cording feet. You can use these stitches on a single or double layer of fabric. When sewing on a hem edge, stitch 1/2” away from the cut edge, then trim close to the stitching. Use the two front holes when doing the Venetian hemstitch. This will guide the cord in and will be sewn on the outside edges of the stitch. The Parisian hemstitch resembles the hand pinstitch will look like:
The Venetian hemstitch will look like entredeux, a narrow machine embroidered trim with a ladder of open holes. The stitch on your machine will look like:
