The Narrow Piping Foot is used to make trim for home decoration projects, fashion projects or wherever you’d like to add a finishing touch!

It is used to cover 1mm cords with fabric for specialty piping and insert the piping into seams or edges for a tailored finish. It can also be used with packaged piping. The clear view allows you to see the piping placement and know exactly where you are stitching.

How to stitch piping into a seam:

1. Snap on the Narrow Piping Foot.
2. Place the piping with the raw edges along the seam line on the right side of fabric. Place second piece of fabric on top with right sides together.
3. Put fabric and piping layers under Piping Foot with the piping in the groove on the underside of the foot.
4. Select a straight stitch, length 2.5. Sew. The groove on the underside of the foot will guide the piping as you sew.

How to make piping from your fabric:

1. Snap on the Narrow Piping Foot.
2. Cut bias or crosswise grain strips, wide enough to cover the cording plus seam allowances.
3. Lay the cording on the wrong side of the fabric strip and wrap the fabric over the cord.
4. Place the fabric and cord under the Narrow Piping Foot with the cord in the groove on the underside of the foot.
5. Sew using a straight stitch, 2.5 mm stitch length. The groove will guide the cord so the fabric covers it evenly.
6. Use your new piping in projects following the steps above.

TIP: When you sew this piping into a project, adjust the needle position so it stitches one setting closer to the cord, to hide the first stitching.
