A tick with cording for pillows

The article includes first and second fabric sections (10 and 44) which are sewn together around their peripheries, with sections of cording (15, 17, 32, 34) in between. Four successive separate sections (15, 17, 32, 34) of cording extend cumulatively around the periphery of the tick, between the two fabric sections (10 and 44), extending somewhat outward from the periphery of the tick. The cording (15, 17, 32, 34) is covered with a bias tape material which is sewn between the first and second fabric sections (10 and 44), providing a stable physical relationship between the first and second fabric sections (10 and 44) and the covered cording (15, 17, 32, 34).
