Flosstube Extra: How to Measure & Make Cording

In this video I'll show you how to make your own custom cording for cross stitch pillow finishes. I apologize for the dark video.

Supplies I use:
DMC Floss
Kreinik Custom Corder

A number of needlework shops sell corders. My suggestion is to do a Google search to find where they are available.

Thank you Helen. So very informative. My husband made me a spinner. I haven't tried it yet. Soon.

I loved your tutorial Helen. It's the best I've ever seen demonstrating how to make cording. Now I'm definitely going to buy one of those little cording tools. Thank you so much!

Great tutorial!! I've watched several, and this is definitely the best one for ease of understanding.

Thank you for this FABULOUS video. I made my first cording and it was so easy with your instructions!!

[paulagolden]

Thank you! You have demystified the cording process. Now off to my LNS!

[sandyboland]

Thank you Helen for your wonderful tutorial. I really didn't know how to figure out how much floss to use. You are a god-send

[ginnyandersen]

Cool tool! I have done cording manually and with my son's drill, believe it or not!

[sheliaburton]

Oh boy! Now I will get out my corder and make me some cording!!!! Thank you Helen!!!

[susanwid]

Thanks for the tip of doing the 'reverse' spin at the end. Makes perfect sense - I"ve struggled at times to get my cording to settle in evenly. Thanks!

[barbarabell]

Helen I am excited. Love the trees! I ordered the chart. I too want a forest. Great job. I couldn't be without my cording tool. Super happy you & your family are safe! Have a great week.

[marthacook]

Wow! Thank you this tutorial. Who knew? Never heard of this before.

[janelawrence]

I’ve had that tool for years and couldn’t figure it out! Thanks so much for showing how it works. I think I can, I think I can!!

[lorettahenderson]

Thank you Helen for all your tutorials…now to find the cording tool…way to go❤

Thanks, Helen, great tutorial. Love your using the 3M hook. I’ve been using the door knob and it is difficult to get it off the knob after it’s twisted. I have the plastic hooks, but I’ll look for the metal ones. Can’t wait for people to ask me why I have a hook on the wall!
