Cording


A cord is a trimming made by twisting or plying two or more strands of yarn together.
Cording, or cord wrapped in fabric that has been cut at the bias, is an ancient embellishment technique still used today,it can be used in piping for a garment also.Piping is easy to make, you cut bias strips of fabric to accommodate your seam allowance, times two, and the cording. then using a zipper foot on the sewing machine, fold the fabric over the cord and stitch as close to the cording as you can.
