FAQs
What material is this ric rac trim made from?
The exact material composition is not specified, but it is designed to be durable for sewing and crafting applications.
Can I use this trim on delicate fabrics?
Yes, it can be used on delicate fabrics, but it's recommended to test on a fabric scrap first and use a fine needle with adjusted machine settings to avoid damaging the fabric.
How much trim do I get per purchase?
Please refer to the product listing for specific quantity details, as trim is typically sold by the yard or meter.
Is the turquoise color fast?
The color is designed to be reasonably colorfast, but it is always recommended to wash with like colors in cold water to maintain vibrancy and prevent bleeding.
Can this trim be dyed a different color?
Dyeing ric rac trim can be unpredictable and may not result in an even color. It is best used in its original turquoise shade or layered with other trims.

Troubleshooting
Trim fraying during cutting
Use sharp fabric scissors and cut cleanly. Consider using a thread sealant on the cut ends if fraying is persistent, especially for projects that will undergo frequent washing.
Color bleeding
Pre-wash the trim in cold water with a color catcher sheet before attaching it to your project. Always wash finished items in cold water.
Uneven stitching when attaching
Ensure your sewing machine is set to a moderate stitch length and tension. Guide the trim gently under the presser foot, allowing the machine to feed it naturally. A walking foot can also help ensure even feeding.
