Troubleshooting
Trim fraying during cutting
Use sharp fabric scissors. For very fine cuts, consider using a pinking shears or applying a small amount of fray-check liquid to the cut edge before sewing.
Thread color doesn't match well
Use a neutral-colored thread like white, cream, or a light beige. Test thread colors on a scrap piece of trim and fabric before starting your project.
Trim appears stiff after washing
Gently stretch and reshape the trim while it is still damp. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they may affect the lace structure.
