To achieve the best results, ensure your fabric surface is clean before application. Pin the trim in place using fine silk pins to prevent snagging the lace. When using a sewing machine, a standard universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) is generally sufficient for most fabric weights. To preserve the finish, always hand wash the item in cold water with mild detergent or use a gentle cycle inside a protective mesh laundry bag. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches, and air dry flat. If ironing is necessary, place a press cloth between the iron and the trim, and use only a low-heat, steam-free setting to prevent melting or discoloration of the metallic elements.
