10.14.1. Sewing cords
You can also easily sew in cords using the zip sewing foot, as shown in the
diagram.
Fold the fabric over once to create a drawstring tunnel and then sew
along the drawstring with the zipper presser foot behind the draw-
string.

Reduce the upper thread tension (see Page ) so that the bobbin
thread is loose on the back of the fabric and is looped by the upper thread.
Sew one or more rows of stitches. Do not cut the threads off right at
the edge of the fabric but leave a length of about  centimetres on the
ends.
At the start of each row, knot the upper thread and bobbin thread.
Hold on to the fabric on the side with the knots and, on the other side,
pull one or more lower threads taut at the same time. Now push the
fabric together on the bobbin thread. Once the fabric has been gath-
ered to the desired width, knot the upper and lower threads of the
second side.
Make sure the gathering is even.
Sew the gathers in place with one or more rows of straight stitches. The
diamond stitch or smocking stitch can also be used for this.
10.16. Sewing with a twin needle
The twin needle is available from well-stocked specialist retailers. When
purchasing, make sure that the distance between the two needles does
not exceed  mm.
The twin needle can be used to create beautiful two-colour patterns if you
use different coloured threads for sewing.
