Troubleshooting
Trim is shedding excessively after cutting
Trim edges lightly with scissors to remove loose fibers. A quick shake outdoors can also help. Once attached and secured, shedding should be minimal.
Adhesive is not holding the trim securely
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. Use a strong fabric glue recommended for faux fur or synthetics. Allow ample drying time as per the adhesive's instructions.
Sewing machine is skipping stitches or jamming
Use a longer stitch length and a universal or leather needle. Ensure the trim's backing is flat against the feed dogs and guide the trim smoothly.
Trim appears flat or matted after washing
Gently fluff the trim with your fingers or a soft brush after it has dried completely from the low-heat tumble dry cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This trim is ready to use straight from the package. It can be cut to your desired length using sharp scissors. For attachment, it can be sewn directly onto fabric using a sewing machine or by hand. Alternatively, strong fabric glue or craft adhesive can be used for non-sew applications.
Compatibility: The trim is compatible with a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, denim, polyester blends, and leatherette. It can be applied to clothing, bags, shoes, hats, cushions, and other craft projects. Avoid direct heat like high-temperature ironing on or immediately next to the trim, as synthetic fibers can melt.
Care: To clean your projects incorporating this trim, machine wash warm on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on a low setting. Ensure the trim is not exposed to high heat during drying.
