FAQs

What is the best needle to use?

The best needle to use depends on the fabric. Use a universal needle for woven fabrics and a ballpoint needle for knit fabrics.

What kind of thread should I use?

Use a thread that matches your fabric in weight and color. Polyester thread is a good general-purpose choice.

How do I cut the cord?

Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter. Measure carefully and cut the cord slightly longer than needed.

Can I wash items with this piping cord?

Yes, but follow the fabric care instructions. Pre-wash the cord to help prevent color bleeding. Hand washing is recommended.

Is this cord suitable for outdoor use?

This piping cord is not specifically designed for outdoor use. Long-term exposure to the elements may affect its durability. Consider using outdoor-rated cord for outdoor projects.

How do I join the ends of the piping cord?

Overlap the ends slightly and sew them together. Trim any excess cord for a neat finish.

What is the flange?

The flange is the flat part of the cord that gets sewn into the seam, creating a clean finish and holding the cord in place.

Can I dye this piping cord?

Dyeing the piping cord is possible, but it depends on the cord's fiber content. Test a small piece first to ensure the dye adheres properly.

Troubleshooting

Piping cord doesn't stay in place while sewing.

Use a piping foot or zipper foot on your sewing machine to hold the cord in place. Use pins or clips to secure the piping to the fabric before sewing.

Piping cord frays or unravels.

Trim any loose threads. Use a lighter or fabric glue to seal the cut ends.

Uneven or puckered piping.

Use a consistent seam allowance and sew slowly. Adjust the tension on your sewing machine.
