Cording – cord wrapped in fabric that’s been cut on the bias – is an ancient embellishment that packs as much punch today as it did in the 1730’s or the 1940’s. Whether you use it to make appliqued motifs, corded pin tucks, frogs, spaghetti straps or piping, cording is one of the most versatile weapons in your sewing arsenal. Still not sure how to use it? Well, as with everything sewing, there is a lil’ trick to it. I’ll show you how!
First, you need to decide whether you are making piping or true cording. For piping and corded pin tucks, you’ll want cotton cording on the inside for fluffiness factor. For true cording, I recommend rattail. It has a funny name, but this shiny 100% rayon cord has a better glide to it than cotton cording, a major factor when you are turning the bias covering right side out.
