Machine Embroidery-Machine Cording

Machine Cording Once you have completed your project, you may want to make some fastening cords or ties. Here is a simple way to create your own cords, using your sewing machine.

instructions   Gather a selection of fine knitting yarn, cord, crochet cotton, etc. Cut threads and yarns to desired length. Knot one end and gently twist the lengths together.
