I have been experimenting with making double piping and setting it in a seam (rather than using it on a piece of upholstery).
I started with a wide fabric strip (around 6cm) and stitched in the cord as usual

Then added a second piece of fabric around 4cm wide, sewing it in place over the first row of stitching

Next enclosed the cord in the second fabric strip

Finally stitched the double cord into a seam. I quite like the finished effect.

The finished seam viewed from the back to show the stitching line holding the second piece of fabric in place. I can't think of a way to avoid this - perhaps someone else can?
