FAQs
What type of projects is this cord best for?
This piping cord is ideal for home decor items such as cushions and curtains, as well as apparel projects like jackets and dresses.
How do I cut the cord?
Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter to get a clean, straight cut. Always allow extra length for seam allowances.
Can I use this cord with any type of fabric?
Yes, but consider the fabric's weight and drape. The 5mm cord works well with medium to heavyweight fabrics.
What foot should I use when sewing?
A zipper foot or piping foot is recommended to sew close to the cord without catching it.
How do I create corners with the piping cord?
When approaching a corner, trim the cord at an angle to allow it to turn smoothly. Overlap the ends slightly.

The color is consistent, but slight variations may occur between batches. Check the color before starting your project.
