  2. 2

    Here's how. Connect strips until you have a piece long enough for your length of cording.

    Then encase your cording rope and use your zipper foot to stitch.

    Put another piece of cording next to the 1st piece and roll it over. Using your regular foot, sew down the middle over your last stitch.

    Cut off the excess fabric as close as possible.
