The Coverstitch Cording Foot is designed to guide and secure cords while stitching, allowing them to be neatly applied to fabric using a coverstitch or chain stitch.
It ensures the cord stays in position during sewing, preventing shifting and maintaining consistent placement.
This foot is ideal for creating decorative effects such as corded seams, piping, and textured embellishments on garments.
It helps produce a clean, professional finish with improved accuracy and ease, particularly when working with fine or delicate cords.
Suitable for the Novum Combi 4070 Overlock & Cover Hem.
