Application
Sewing in cord
-
Select the 2- or 3-thread rolled hem and thread the machine. Thicker cords can be sewn with a 3-thread narrow seam or a 3-thread overlock stitch narrow (RN).
-
Adjust the stitch length to 0.8 – 3 mm.
-
Set the differential feed at default.
-
Adjust the cutting width to be suitable for the stitch.
-
Raise the presser foot and swing it out.
-
Place the cord in the guides on the presser foot and pull an extra length of about 10 cm to leave behind the presser foot. (Fig. 2)
-
Swing the presser foot in.
-
Make sure that the cord can glide without resistance through the guides.
As a check, pull the cord back and forth. -
To secure the cord, lower the presser foot and sew a few stitches.
-
Place the fabric under the presser foot so that the extra seam allowance is cut.
-
Sew the cord. (Fig. 3)
Tips
- For an even fabric feed, adjust the differential feed.
- To get a waved seam in the diagonal grain of stretch fabric, stretch the fabric slightly in front and behind of the presser foot. Don’t interfere with the feed while the needle stitches into the fabric so that the stitch formation remains even. To wave the seam additionally, leave extra cord at the seam end. Stretch the seam until you get the desired waving effect .(Fig. 4)
