To make piping from your fabric:

1. Snap on the Grand Piping Foot to the right side of the needle.
2. Engage the IDT™ system.
3. Cut fabric strips on the bias or crosswise grain, wide enough to cover the cording plus seam allowances.
4. Lay the cording on the wrong side of the fabric strip and wrap the fabric over the cord.
5. Place the fabric and cord under the Grand Piping Foot with the cord to the left of the foot.
6. Select a straight stitch, 2.5 mm stitch length. Move the needle position to the left. Sew.
7. 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.

To stitch piping into a seam:

1. Snap on the Grand Piping Foot to the right side of the needle.
2. Engage the IDT™ system.
3. Select a straight stitch, length 2.5.
4. Place the piping on the right side of fabric, matching raw edges. Position under the foot with the piping to the left of the foot.
5. Add a second piece of fabric on top so right sides are together and piping sandwiched between the layers.
6. Position under the Grand Piping Foot with the piping to the left of the foot.
7. Sew.

Tip: Clip the seam allowance around curves and at corners to reduce bulk and allow the seams to lay fl at.

Topstitching:

1. Snap the Grand Piping Foot to the left side of the needle.
2. Engage the IDT™ system.
3. Open the seam and fold so the piping is along the fabric edge. Press.
4. Sew a row of topstitching to the left of the seam line.
