Troubleshooting
Piping cord is difficult to insert into the seam.
Use a zipper foot on your sewing machine to get closer to the piping. Consider using a slightly thinner needle for easier insertion, or clipping the seam allowance.
Piping cord is shifting or coming loose after sewing.
Ensure the piping is securely positioned within the seam allowance. Adjust your stitch length and tension to better hold the piping in place. Consider using pins or fabric glue to hold the piping in place during sewing.
