.1 Increase the bobbin thread tension slightly for cording. Pfaff recommends you fill your cording so it keeps its shape in the laundry. Filler cord thickness depends on cording size you want. Ta sew filled cording, use the two cording plates with cord ducts. Only very narrow tucks are made without filler cord. Machine Setting: Dial A=0 Lever B= • . Dial C=0 (Both needles are to be threaded by hand.) Lever E=0 Additional Information on Cording Ordinary cording in medium-heavy fabric is made with cording foot No. 41319 and cording plate Na. 60417. For thicker cording use foot No. 41318 with cording plate No. 60419. L L I Cording foot No. 41641 serves to make narrow air tucks in lightweight material. Pin tucks without filler cord also are mode with cording foot No. 41641. However, for these, carding plate No. 60413 is used. To make cording in thick felt, obtain cording plate No. 60405 with high center claw from your Pfafl dealer. Cording height and width are determined by the distance between the two needles, the cord diameter and the height of the ridge on the cording plate. Thread tensions also influence cording size. For uniform spacing of parallel tucks, attach an adjustable guide to the cording foot. When space between tucks is very narrow, place the preceding seam into one of the grooves of the foot and use it as a guide. This procedure insures uniform and parallel rows of cording. 53 R 6945 L _•4 F" tO
