FAQs
How do I prepare the bag for piping?
Open the bag, add your prepared icing or filling, and then either fold down the top edge or use a coupler and piping tip. Snip the very tip of the bag to create an opening for the icing to flow through, or insert a piping tip and secure it with a coupler.

Troubleshooting
Bag splits or tears during use
Ensure you are not overfilling the bag or applying excessive pressure. Check that the icing is not too stiff for the bag's material, especially if it hasn't been properly softened.
Icing is difficult to pipe
The icing may be too thick or cold. Try warming the icing slightly or thinning it with a small amount of liquid (water, milk, or melted butter, depending on the icing type) as appropriate for your recipe.
Difficulty attaching a piping tip
Ensure the tip is properly aligned with the cut opening. If using a coupler, ensure it is seated correctly within the bag before attaching the tip.
