Joining ends of cording Not attached to piping tape
tourist   Intermediate BC CANADA Member since 7/23/07 Posts: 5423	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 9/3/12 11:49 AM I was sure I found instructions for this somewhere but now of course, can't find them. I have decorative coring that I am using for making wine bags as gifts. I like the ends to be joined nicely on the draw string so that if it comes out of its little tunnel, it won't look awful, which my current system does. I find I can unravel it slightly and line up the two ends to that it looks ok, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get a stitch through it without having 3 or 4 more hands! ------ http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.

Tie into knots that hide the cut ends. You can also Fray Check the ends and tie when dry.

I am joining cording that is not on bias tape. What I finally did is to make it seem like there is tape on it by sticking the ends to a piece of fabric with wash away wonder tape, sewing the cord ends onto the fabric, then rolling the fabric up and sewing through that. I want to have the join inside the casing so I can make nice knots like these and maybe string wine charms or beads etc. through them. I have the photos done for a wine bag tutorial on my blog but September is crazy busy for me. I will post it asap. ------ http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.
