Questions & Answers
It should not be washed on a regular basis or without a fabric cover.
This product isn't appropriate for that use. Look for a cord with the words "drawstring rope" written on it.
Thank you very much for your query. We don't recommend sizes for specific applications because sizing is a matter of personal taste.
Cotton piping in sizes ranging from 4/32" to 4/32" is available from us. In Michigan, we have a 5" snowfall forecast. I can't give you any advice without learning more about your application. I can send you samples if you send me your address and additional information.

br>As you can see from the photos, I've only used about half of what I ordered. I work as a seamstress in the fashion industry. The project looks finished and professional with home decor, custom cushions and pillows, and piping/welting. This is something I'd like to order again in the future. br>Best of luck and many thanks,br>Carolynbr>ChairApparent@gmail. com com.
For its intended use, the added body would be a plus, keeping everything neat no matter how rough the cord may be treated until covered. That additive was not very useful for my purposes of making absorbent coasters. It caused the piping to repel moisture, causing the coasters to either stick to the glass or leak moisture onto the tabletop. I eventually discovered that if I used Dawn dish detergent in less than an inch of warm water, I could safely remove the "sizing" from the piping. Too much heat, too much water, or too much squeezing (and so on) ) and the piping had been completely destroyed. Finally, I'm content with my situation. I only wish I had known ahead of time.
Making bags that require this product as a top layer. Also works well for securing makeup bags. And thank you so much for the quick delivery of this product. I needed to get a head start on my Christmas shopping.
This was purchased in order for me to make my own piping code tape for custom cushion covers and pillow cases. It was carefully packaged in a nice bubble-lined paper envelop, shipped quickly, and arrived in perfect condition. It appears to be a high-quality product, and it comes with enough pure cotton piping to make a lot of pillow cases and cushion covers (according to my calculations, this piping cord will make 18 large 20" custom cushion covers). I no longer have to purchase bag strings to make my own piping code strips, which are usually far too soft and flimsy. This is fantastic information, and I'm delighted to be able to support a small business that produces excellent goods!.
For my general upholstery needs, this was too thick. I'm a newbie to upholstery and had to make a guess. It was discovered that the standard size is smaller. Ask the instructor first, or take a piece of old cord to a fabric store to get the right size. br>This stuff unravels and frays like crazy (in any size). When making cording, make as few cuts as possible and look for solutions to the fraying problem. I'm experimenting with a cotton/poly blend cording that's a little stiffer and might be easier to work with. It still frays, though perhaps not as easily as before. You don't need this much unless you'll be using it a lot. First, order a small sample to see if it meets your needs, and then order a large roll.
This cording received five stars from me because it is soft and flexible, and it is simple to work with. Because I couldn't cut my welt fabric on the bias due to the design, I had to cut it straight of grain. Despite this, I was able to easily maneuver around the corners of my pillows. It is something I would recommend and would purchase again.
I've been sewing pillows and slipcovers for more than 40 years, and this welting reminds me of the welting I bought when I first started sewing. Very well-crafted - strong and firm while remaining pliable The product is excellent-- I'll buy from you again.
The piping is simple to use, flexible, and holds its shape well.
