cording
Decorative fabric ridges
Cording is the application of cord—a decorative trim or piping—to fabric, especially in upholstery and garment construction.
The cord creates raised lines or edges: The cording on the throw pillows matched the sofa.
In medical contexts, cording refers to rope-like tightness in tissue, particularly the hardened lymphatic vessels that can develop after breast surgery: She noticed cording under her arm after the mastectomy.
