Thread the needle with the machine embroidery thread. If you have chosen a rayon sheen as embroidery thread, use a special bobbin thread, called bobbin fill, in the bobbin. 2. Reduce the upper thread tension. This will allow the needle thread to produce a smoother finish on the fabric's surface, giving the embroidery a more pronounced appearance. 3. Pull the cord under the small black tension disc from right to left, so that it runs through the foot's center groove. Place the cord end under the Cording Foot, so it runs in the foot's center groove at the back. Hint: To prevent fabric distortion, reinforce the fabric with stabilizer. 4. Place the fabric under the Cording Foot. Sew along the marked lines. The cord is automatically applied while sewing and overstitched with a narrow satin stitch. Make sure the cord is completely overstitched. If not, increase the width of the zigzag stitch. 5. At the beginning and end of the seam, secure the threads at the back of the fabric by tying a knot or stitching the cord in place. The cord can simply be trimmed at both ends. 6. If using the foot to gather, select zigzag stitch to stitch over the cord. Remove fabric from machine and draw fabric in while holding the cord until desired gathers are achieved. This foot is metal.
