FAQs

What is the best way to cut the cord?

Use sharp scissors or a fabric cutter for a clean cut. Applying fabric glue or heat to the ends after cutting can prevent fraying.

Can I wash items trimmed with this cord?

Yes, but it's recommended to hand wash items with the cord to preserve its appearance. Follow the care instructions of the fabric it is attached to.

Is the cord suitable for outdoor use?

While the cord is durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and weather elements may cause fading. It's best suited for indoor projects or items used with care outdoors.

How do I attach the cord to my fabric?

You can sew it by hand or with a sewing machine. Fabric glue is another option, depending on the desired effect and project requirements.

Does the cord stretch?

The cord has some flexibility, but it's not designed for significant stretching. Consider the project's needs to ensure it meets the required characteristics.

Troubleshooting

Cord is fraying at the cut end.

Apply a small amount of fabric glue or use a lighter (very briefly and carefully) to seal the cut end and prevent fraying.

Difficulty in sewing the cord onto the fabric.

Use a sewing machine with a suitable needle size, and adjust the stitch length and tension to avoid bunching or damaging the cord.
