FAQs

What is the cord made of?

The exact material composition is not specified, but it is a durable elastic cord designed for crafting and apparel.

How do I determine the length I need?

Measure the area where the elastic will be used, considering the desired tension. It is often recommended to cut slightly longer than needed and trim after fitting.

Can this cord be used for medical applications?

This cord is intended for general crafting and apparel use. It is not certified or recommended for medical applications.

Is the light blue color fade-resistant?

While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading over time. Washing instructions should be followed to maintain color vibrancy.

Can I buy more than one metre at a time?

Yes, you can add multiple metres to your order to receive a single continuous length, up to the available stock.

What is the best way to cut this elastic cord?

Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for a clean, precise cut. Dull blades can crush the cord and weaken its elasticity.

Troubleshooting

Cord breaks during sewing

Ensure your needle is sharp and appropriate for the fabric. Slow down sewing speed and check for any snags in the sewing machine.

Elasticity is lost quickly

Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying. Ensure the cord is not overstretched beyond its intended capacity during use.

Color transfer to fabric

Wash the cord separately before first use, especially if using in light-colored projects. Test a small piece for colorfastness if concerned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This cord is designed to be cut to the desired length using sharp scissors or a rotary cutter. It can be sewn directly onto fabric or threaded through casings. For best results, secure the ends with a few extra stitches to prevent fraying or unravelling.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard sewing machines and hand-sewing needles. It can be used with a wide variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester blends, and knits.

Care: Machine washable and dryable on low heat settings. Avoid high temperatures or harsh chemicals, which may degrade the elastic properties over time. Hand washing with mild detergent is also recommended for longevity.
