FAQs
Can this cord be used outdoors?
While durable, it is designed primarily for indoor craft and bag applications. Prolonged exposure to extreme weather may affect the material.
How long is the cord provided?
Each unit provides a length of 2.5 meters.
What is the thickness of the cord?
The cord has a thickness of 11mm.
Can I bleach this cord?
No, bleaching is not recommended as it may weaken the fibers and alter the natural white color.
Is this cord suitable for decorative trim?
Yes, but be mindful of the 11mm thickness, as it is quite substantial and may overpower very delicate or thin fabric items.
Troubleshooting
Ends of the cord are fraying after cutting
Briefly singe the cut end with a flame or apply a small amount of fabric sealant to bind the fibers.
Stitching through the cord is difficult
Use a thicker gauge machine needle and a high-strength polyester thread to ensure clean penetration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To integrate the cord into your sewing project, ensure your machine is set to a stitch length appropriate for heavy fabrics. When cutting the cord to size, apply a small amount of fabric glue or heat seal the ends to prevent fraying before installation. For care, keep the finished item away from water temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, as excessive heat may compromise the integrity of the synthetic fibers. Always air dry the item rather than using a high-heat tumble dry setting.
