FAQs
What is the best way to cut the piping cord?
Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter for a clean, precise cut to prevent fraying.
Can I use this cord on outdoor furniture?
While the cord is durable, long-term exposure to the elements may affect its lifespan. Consider the fabric's suitability for outdoor use.
What is the flange on the piping cord?
The flange is the flat edge of the cord, designed to be sewn into the seam, providing a clean and secure attachment.
How much cord do I need for a project?
Measure the edges of your project and add extra for corners and seams. It's always a good idea to have a little extra.
Can I dye this cord?
