FAQs

What is the best way to attach the ric rac trim?

You can sew it on with a sewing machine or by hand using a needle and thread. Alternatively, fabric glue can be used for a no-sew option, though sewing is generally more secure.

Can this trim be used on stretchy fabrics?

Yes, but be cautious. Use a stretch stitch if sewing, and avoid pulling the trim too tight.

How do I prevent the trim from unraveling?

Use a fabric sealant on the cut edges or carefully fold the ends under before attaching.

Is the color of the trim fade-resistant?

While the color is designed to be stable, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and use gentle detergents to preserve the color vibrancy.

Can I use this trim for children's clothing?

Yes, but make sure it is securely attached to avoid any choking hazards.

What kind of needle should I use?

A universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) is suitable for most applications.

How much trim will I need for my project?

Measure the area you want to trim and add extra for corners and overlaps. It's always a good idea to have a little extra on hand.

Troubleshooting

Trim is fraying after washing.

Reinforce the edges of the trim with a fabric sealant or additional stitching before washing.

Difficulty in sewing the trim on.

Use a walking foot on your sewing machine to feed both the fabric and trim evenly.
