Troubleshooting
Piping cord doesn't stay in place.
Ensure the piping is securely held by the seams. Check your seam allowance and use a piping foot for better control. Consider using pins or clips to hold the piping in place during the sewing process.
Difficulty sewing around corners.
Clip the flange of the piping cord at intervals along the curve to allow it to bend more easily. Sew slowly and carefully around the curves.
Color fading after washing.
If the fabric is prone to fading, pre-wash the fabric before using the piping cord. Hand wash or use a gentle cycle with cold water, and avoid harsh detergents to prolong the color's vibrancy.
