FAQs
Is this trim machine washable?
Yes, it is durable, but we recommend using a delicate cycle or hand washing to maintain the crispness of the wavy edges.
Can I use this on stretchy fabrics?
While it can be used, keep in mind the trim itself does not have much stretch, so avoid applying it to areas that need significant elasticity.
What is the best needle size for sewing this?
A standard universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) is generally sufficient for most fabrics combined with this trim.
Does the ivory color fade?
The material is colorfast under normal conditions, but avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent yellowing.
Can I iron directly over the trim?
It is not recommended to iron directly on the trim as high heat can alter the wavy shape. Always use a pressing cloth.
Troubleshooting
Trim bunching during sewing
Use more pins to secure the trim in place or reduce the pressure of your sewing machine presser foot.
Visible stitching on the trim
Ensure you are using a thread color that closely matches the ivory trim and use a small, neat stitch length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the trim, pin it into place first to prevent shifting, especially when navigating curves. This trim is compatible with a variety of fabrics including cotton, linen, and blends. For care, it is best to hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle to preserve the integrity of the wavy edges. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents on the ivory material, and if ironing is required, use a low setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and the trim to prevent flattening or melting the synthetic fibers.
