I bought this foot, a Bernina #21, especially for cord applique. It works great! Below it is a custom foot that I put together which does the same thing almost as well.
The piece of cocktail straw is taped under the foot & it ends just before the needle. It keeps the cord in line with the stitches so you don't have to guide the cord, just the fabric. I used a piping foot, but I have also done this with a satin stitch foot. You can use any foot that has clearance between the side rails to let the cord feed through.

Love the idea of a straw. It makes so much sense! Guiding the cord is such a pain while you are trying to hold on to the fabric and prss the foot pedal, etc.
