Research: Cording


Cording definition:

  • To fasten or bind with a cord.
  • To furnish with a cord.
  • A slender length of flexible material usually made of twisted strands or fibres and used to bind, tie, connect, or support.
  • A raised rib on the surface of cloth.
  • A fabric or cloth with such ribs.

Cording in Fashion definition:
  • Cord wrapped in fabric that's been cut on the bias - is an ancient embellishment that packs as much punch today as it did in the 1730's or the 1940's. Whether you use it to make appliqued motifs, corded pin tucks, frogs, spaghetti straps or piping, cording is one of the most versatile weapons in your sewing arsenal.
