FAQs

What type of needle should I use?

Use a fine needle, such as a size 70/10 universal or microtex needle, to avoid damaging the lace.

Can I iron the lace?

Yes, but use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth to protect the delicate lace.

How do I prevent the lace from fraying?

Use a seam sealant or fray check on the cut edges to prevent fraying.

Is this trim suitable for beginners?

Yes, but beginners should practice on scrap fabric first.

Can I use this trim on stretch fabrics?

Yes, but use a stretch stitch and a ballpoint needle to accommodate the fabric's movement.

What is the best way to attach the trim?

Sewing is recommended. Hand sewing or machine sewing can be used. Use a straight stitch or a decorative stitch depending on the project.

Use a new, sharp needle specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Reduce the sewing speed.
