FAQs
What is the best needle size to use?
Use a needle size appropriate for your fabric; a size 70/10 or 80/12 is often suitable.
Can I wash the fabric with the piping cord?
Hand washing or spot cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and color of the cord.
How do I prevent the cord from shifting?
Use fabric glue or basting stitches to hold the cord in place before sewing.
What type of projects is this cord best suited for?
This cord is ideal for dressmaking (e.g., jackets, dresses) and upholstery projects (e.g., cushions, chairs).
What is the flange for?
The flange provides a neat and finished edge, and helps secure the cord within the seam.
How much extra cord should I buy?
Always buy extra. It's recommended to add at least 10% extra to account for curves, waste, and any potential errors.
Troubleshooting
Cord is fraying during sewing.
Use a finer needle and reduce sewing speed. Apply fabric glue or seam sealant to the cut ends.
Difficulty inserting the cord into tight curves.
Clip the flange at intervals to allow the cord to curve more easily.
