Tutorial: stitching cord to the fabric with the BERNINA Couching inserts

Couching is an easy way to add color and texture to a variety of projects by sewing cord to the fabric! Use the BERNINA Couching inserts to turn the Adjustable ruler foot #72 into a free-motion couching foot. The set includes three inserts with hole diameters of 1.4 mm, 1.8 mm, and 2.2 mm for different sizes of cord.
In this video we show you how to use the BERNINA Couching inserts. Visit your BERNINA dealer to try them out for yourself!

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to win hand dyed yarn!

Can this be done on any machine that does free hand embroidery?

[@BerninaInternational]

Correct! This technique doesn't require an embroidery module. It is possible to do couching in embroidery ... but it can also be done free hand.

[@sashag572]

It's not technically couching if you straight stitch through the yard, though...

VERY poor choice of font and font color for the explanations in this video. White font on what is often white or light backgrounds? How did this even pass a production review before posting it??

[@BerninaInternational]

Hi Stretch1003, thanks for your comment. We are sorry that the texts are difficult for you to read. We will try to use stronger contrasts in future videos.

Could that be a lot of lint to the machine?

[@BerninaInternational]

Not more than with other surface embellishing techniques. Just think of needle punching (see kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWG0l5l-m9yEbMU). This is no problem for your BERNINA sewing machine. In general, however, we recommend to clean the hook area regularly in order to keep it free from lint.

Bernina International AG thank you for replying, I brought it already, I am learning how to use it to make my machine happier

too blurry to read

[@BerninaInternational]

Hi Must Love Dogs, thanks for your feedback. Please make sure you have set the playback resolution to HD (cogwheel icon). This will hopefully improve the result. That being said, we agree that sometimes there is not enough contrast between text inserts and background in this video. In our newer videos, we have chosen a different solution for text inserts and are working with voice-over as well.
