Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Type A and Type B cording feet?

The Type A Cording Foot is designed for sewing clear fishing line onto net and very fine materials, with the monofilament automatically sewn under the overlock stitch. The Type B Cording Foot has a forward-facing guide and is used for sewing heavy cord to prevent fabric stretch, with the cord threaded through a hole in the guide and under a groove in the foot.

Which Janome machines is this cording foot compatible with?

This Type A Cording Foot works with the Janome 3434D Serger, AirThread 2000D, Four-DLB, and Harmony 7933 overlock machines.

Do I need the cording guide to use this foot?

While the cording foot can be used on its own, Janome recommends using it with their cording guide accessory for optimal results and easier threading of ribbon or monofilament.

What type of thread should I use with this foot for decorative effects?

For decorative couching and trim creation, use decorative thread in the upper looper of your overlock machine. The foot will guide narrow ribbon or cording while the decorative thread creates the embellishment. For invisible reinforcement on delicate fabrics, use clear monofilament or fishing line.

Can I create multiple-strand braided trims with this foot?

Yes, you can create individual decorative trims with this foot and then braid several strands together to make unique soutache and custom embellishments for garments and home décor projects.
