Mike:
I purchased the piping cord with the material. It's necessary to use a piping or zipper foot on your sewing machine when making the piping. This foot allows one to sew a seam right next to the piping material.
The material I used is an outdoor material and appears to be waterproof. Although it's lightweight it's tough and doesn't stretch.
The machine is a good one and no doubt that it's popular. I used it for many a sewing project over the years I've owned it. Figured that if I could build model airplanes I could operate a sewing machine!
Regards,
Jim
