Troubleshooting

Cord ends fraying after cutting

While the weave is designed to resist fraying, you can apply a tiny drop of clear fabric glue or gently singe the ends if you are using synthetic-blend materials.

Cord slipping through fabric loops

Ensure the loop size is slightly larger than 5mm and consider adding a small decorative knot at the end to act as a stopper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a trim material, integration is straightforward. For most sewing applications, use a heavy-duty needle or a zipper foot to attach the cord to your fabric base. To maintain the cord's appearance, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading over time. If you need to clean a finished item featuring the cord, hand-washing in mild, cold water is recommended. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing, as these may dull the pearly shine of the Honey Gold finish.
