Frequently Asked Questions

What types of materials can I use with the Cording Foot with 5 Grooves #25?

You can use yarn, cording, narrow ribbons, and similar materials. The five grooves accommodate materials that fit within the groove dimensions and can be secured by the swing-out latch.

Can I use fewer than five cords at a time?

Yes, you can use anywhere from one to five cords simultaneously. Simply thread the number of cords you need through the appropriate grooves and secure them with the latch.

What is the difference between 5.5 mm and 9 mm machine compatibility?

This refers to the maximum stitch width your BERNINA machine can produce. The Cording Foot #25 works with both 5.5 mm machines (older models) and 9 mm machines (most current models), making it versatile across many BERNINA model lines.

What types of stitches work best with this cording foot?

Both utility stitches like zigzag and decorative stitches work well. Experiment with different stitch patterns to create varied effects—straight stitches hold cords flat, while zigzag and decorative stitches create more textured results.

How do I prevent the cords from tangling while sewing?

The swing-out latch on the Cording Foot #25 is specifically designed to hold cords securely in their grooves and prevent tangling. Make sure the latch is properly closed and the cords are seated in the grooves before you begin sewing.
