The trim can be hand-sewn or machine-sewn onto the fabric. Ensure stitches are close together for a secure and neat finish.
Is this trim suitable for outdoor use?
This trim is designed for indoor applications. Prolonged exposure to sunlight and weather may cause fading and degradation.
What are the dimensions of the trim?

Can I use this trim on a project that will be frequently washed?
Yes, but care should be taken. Hand washing in cold water and air drying is recommended to maintain its quality and color.
Troubleshooting

Ensure ends are securely stitched down. Consider using a temporary fabric adhesive for placement before sewing.
