Gathering with the Cording Foot This technique is great for heavy fabrics such as in home decorating or textured fabrics that do not gather easily. The Cording Foot holds the cord in place, so stitching is effortless. Adjusting gathers is easy, and there is no danger that the cord will break in the middle of the project.

Secure the cord by tying a knot at the back of the foot. Place the fabric under the foot. Sew a test to ensure that the Zigzag stitches are sewing over the cord, not into the cord.
