5. Fold under 1" (2.5 cm) on the overlapping bias strip and wrap it around the beginning of the welting. Finish stitching the welting to the panel edge.

6. Finish the pillow, following the general instructions for the style. On seams that carry welting, use a cording foot or zipper foot. With the wrong side of the welted piece facing up, stitch inside the previous stitching line, stitching as close as possible to the welting.

Twisted Cord

Twisted cord is made with fiber-covered cords that are twisted together and sewn to a “lip” that is inserted in the seam. It is available in several widths and in a wide range of colors, styles, and fibers. For easier stitching and to prevent the lip from showing on the outside of the pillow, it is applied to the pillow back first and the ends of the welting are twisted together to join them inconspicuously.

Twisted cord tends to unravel easily. Before cutting trim to a workable length, wrap a piece of tape around the cord and then cut through the center of the tape. Before making final cuts, saturate the trim with liquid fray preventer or fabric glue and allow it to dry completely, then cut through the center of the sealed area.
