You use double-sided carpet tape to fix carpet, rugs and floor coverings to the floor. The tape is sticky on both sides and can be torn by hand, so you don't need scissors. That keeps your carpet neatly in place. According to the product description, the tape is suitable for all types of carpet.

PP tape is 38 mm wide and comes in rolls of 5 and 10 metres; linen tape is 50 mm wide and comes on a roll of 25 metres. Both are double-sided, yellow and can be torn by hand. Choose the width and length that suit your carpet and the room. The linen tape has a linen texture, the PP tape a PP texture.

Count the total length of all the edges and strips you want to fix. A 2 by 3 metre rug, for example, has a perimeter of 10 metres, so a 10-metre roll fits exactly. Not sure? Send the dimensions via WhatsApp and we will help you calculate.

Yes. According to the product description, the PP tape is suitable for fixing carpet tiles and repairing damaged carpet. Apply the tape to a clean, dry surface for the best adhesion. You can also easily fix a loose edge or corner with it.

We have a tall door stop that is 7.5 cm high with a diameter of 90 mm and a low door stop that is 6 cm high with a diameter of 110 mm. Choose the version that suits the spot where the door needs to stop. According to the product description, the tall version is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Not sure which one fits your door? Send a photo or the dimensions via WhatsApp.

Yes. Send a photo and your question via WhatsApp or contact us, and we will help you choose. You can also drop by our showroom in Antwerp to see the range. Together we will look at which tape and door stop suit your situation.

Gobelin or vintage faux leather suit best. Gobelin gives a classic, woven look with a pattern; Skai Arizona and Skai Boston have a slightly aged leather grain that looks retro straight away. Not sure? Send a photo via WhatsApp.

Arizona is PU faux leather with a natural grain and antique patina, supple and soft. Boston is PVC faux leather, sturdy yet supple, 1.2 mm thick, 590 g/m² and available in 8 colours. Both reach 100,000 Martindale. Arizona also complies with EN 1021-1 (fire safety).

No. With gobelin the pattern is part of the weave itself (jacquard) and not a print, so the pattern does not wear off. Our gobelins have an abrasion resistance of 18,000 Martindale cycles. That way the retro pattern stays clearly visible even after years of use.

Allow for extra metres, because with a woven-in pattern the motif repeats. Order everything at once, as fabrics from different batches can differ slightly in colour. Send your measurements via WhatsApp for a calculation. A large motif suits a sofa or a backrest better than a narrow chair seat.

Gobelin is 140 cm wide, Skai Arizona and Skai Boston are 138 to 140 cm wide. The faux leather is supplied from rolls of 30 metres, and you order the number of metres you need. That makes it easy to calculate how many metres you need for your piece of furniture.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Open the product page of the fabric and click 'Ontvang een sample' to assess the colour and texture at home next to your furniture. That way you see the grain or pattern and the colour for real.

The packaging tape is 66 metres long and 50 mm wide (66 m by 50 mm). It is made of polypropylene (PP), 40 microns thick, and available in clear and brown. The tape is suitable for parcels and for storage.

Choose clear if the contents or the label need to stay visible, and brown for a professional look on cardboard boxes. Both rolls have the same dimensions and the same material, so it is mostly a matter of taste. Both are 40 microns thick.

Wrap the film around the load by hand, starting at the bottom and working in several layers. The pallet wrap is 20 microns thick, comes in boxes of 6 rolls of 1.8 kg, and conforms to the shape of the load. A full pallet of film holds 72 boxes. Wrap the film tightly for a stable load.

The LDPE mattress bags are 0.08 mm (80 microns) thick and 2500 mm long, with widths from 1050 to 2100 mm, including 1050, 1150, 1250, 1350, 1650, 1850 and 2100. They are supplied in rolls of 50. There is a fitting size from single mattress to king size.

You use mattress bags to protect mattresses from dust, dirt, scratches and moisture during storage and transport. They are widely used by removal companies, mattress shops and bed stores, but also by private individuals who are moving. The bags are made of LDPE and are 80 microns thick.

Yes. Contact us or send your question via WhatsApp and we will help you choose. Briefly tell us what you want to pack and how much, and we will help you work out the right quantity. You can also drop by our showroom in Antwerp.

Velvet (fluweel) and velvet are the same thing in practice: a fabric with a soft, dense pile. Velours is often used for a similar pile fabric, and corduroy has ribs, such as Corduroy (rib of about 1 cm) and Tilia (about 2.5 cm). More important than the name are the quality, weight and Martindale on the product page. Can't decide between two fabrics? A sample helps.

Choose a fabric with a high Martindale value. Velvet glamour has more than 100,000 cycles, DOTS and Corduroy 90,000 to 100,000 and Mohair velvet 50,000 to 60,000. The value is stated with each product, so always check it and ask for advice if you're unsure. For wall panels, cushions and decorative pieces, a lighter quality is sufficient.

Our velvet fabric is usually 140 to 145 cm wide. For a chair you often need 1 to 2 metres, for a sofa quickly several metres. This is a guideline: measure your furniture and feel free to ask for advice. The exact width is on the product page. Note: with a pattern or a distinct pile, consumption may be higher.

Yes, velvet has a distinct pile direction. Cut and process all parts in the same direction, otherwise colour and sheen look different. Take this into account when laying out your pattern, as it can cost extra fabric. This gives you an even end result.

Vacuum regularly with a soft brush and carefully blot stains with a damp cloth, without rubbing. Many of our velvet fabrics are washable at 30 degrees, but this differs per fabric. So always check the product page.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Click the button 'Get a sample' on the product page; you can do this up to 4 times, so you can judge colour and feel at home. This way you see colour, pile and sheen in your own interior.

Yes. DEN Suede achieves more than 30,000 Martindale and has a very high tensile strength (up to 1509 N) and good tear resistance. The pilling rating is 4, so the fabric forms little fluff. For a sofa or chair that is used every day, that is an excellent basis.

Suede upholstery fabric is textile, real suede is leather. DEN Suede is 100% polyester with the soft suede touch and the leather look. This makes the fabric easier to maintain and less sensitive to moisture than real suede leather. Always test a cleaning product on an offcut first.

That is due to the soft nap: the colour differs subtly depending on the direction of the stroke. So cut all parts of your furniture in the same direction, and you will get an even result. Pay particular attention to this when building a sofa or armchair from several parts. This prevents a seat or back from looking lighter or darker than the rest.

Vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment. Blot stains immediately with a dry, white cloth and dab without rubbing. Then brush the nap in one direction and always test cleaning products on an offcut first. This keeps the fabric looking good and evenly coloured for longer.

On average you need 1.5 to 2 metres for a dining chair without armrests and 6 to 8 metres for an armchair. With suede, take the nap direction into account. Send your measurements via WhatsApp and we'll help you calculate. DEN Suede is about 140 cm wide (usable) and weighs approx. 370 g/m². For a sofa, ask for advice.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Open the product page of the fabric and click 'Get a sample'; this way you can judge colour and texture at home next to your furniture. You feel the soft suede touch and see the colour in your own interior.

Chenille, gobelin, velvet, linen, bouclé, faux leather, printed fabrics and jacquard are upholstery fabrics with unique properties. Chenille and velvet offer luxury and comfort thanks to their soft texture, while gobelin and jacquard are known for their durability and decorative patterns. Linen and bouclé have a natural, richly textured look, ideal for a rustic or modern interior

Upholstery fabrics are made by weaving, knitting or felting fibres. After these basic processes they can be printed or treated to improve specific properties. The fabrics are then cut and assembled to cover furniture.

You can buy upholstery fabrics by ordering from Bladi, where you can order by the metre or by the roll. The price is stated per metre. For projects you can get in touch to possibly receive an extra discount.

Decorative nails are mainly ornamental; upholstery nails are designed for construction or repair and can also be decorative. A decorative nail strip is a row of nails on a strip, so you can fit them all at once with equal spacing. This helps you choose the right product for your project.

You can choose from bronze, black, gold, antique gold, mottled antique gold, copper, matt silver and glossy silver, always per 100 pieces in a blister pack. This way there is a finish to match your fabric and the character of your furniture. Each blister contains one colour.

Measure the length of the edge along which you will place the nails and divide it by the desired distance between the nails, and you have the number. One blister contains 100 pieces. Feel free to send your dimensions via WhatsApp and we'll help you calculate. It's better to order a few extra, so you also have a spare if a nail bends.

Choose a decorative nail strip for a long, straight row at a fixed distance: it is faster and gives a neater result. The strip is 1 metre long and 9.5 mm wide. For individual accents or your own pattern, individual decorative nails are more convenient. This also lets you finish larger projects quickly and evenly.

You hammer decorative nails into the wooden frame under the fabric with a small hammer, at a regular distance. Mark the line beforehand with a pencil and ruler. Work carefully with faux leather and velvet so that the fabric isn't damaged. If in doubt, try a scrap piece of fabric first. With faux leather, drive the nail in straight so the fabric doesn't tear.

Yes, decorative nails go well with faux leather, velvet and chenille from our range. Visit our showroom in Antwerp to hold the colour and finish against your fabric, or ask for advice via WhatsApp. That way you see right away whether the combination works and which colour looks best.

For a classic, rich look you usually choose velours or velvet; for a hard-wearing seat, chenille or a coarsely woven fabric. Take daily use and children or pets into account. You will find the details for each fabric on the product page. A sample helps you judge colour and texture in your own living room.

GABO is water-repellent and made from recycled yarn; MIXY is offered as pet-friendly. Both are coarsely woven and suit a modern, calm living room. See the product page for the details of each fabric.

Measure each part of the sofa separately, so the mattresses, back cushions and side cushions, and add a margin per cushion for seams and turn-ups. With a pattern or stripe, allow extra metres so the pattern matches from cushion to cushion. The fabrics are about 140 to 145 cm wide and you order by the metre.

Because upholstery fabric is dyed per batch, so a reorder can give a slight colour difference. So order all the metres at the same time, including a small reserve for repairs, especially for a complete living room. That way you get an even colour throughout your whole living room.

Vacuum the fabric regularly and blot stains immediately with a slightly damp cloth. The exact care depends on the type of fabric, so check the product page and always test a cleaner first on an inconspicuous spot. If in doubt, send a photo via WhatsApp. For every fabric, also read the advice on the product page.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Request a sample via the button Get a sample on the product page, or visit our showroom in Antwerp to feel the fabric. That way you can judge colour and texture before ordering by the metre.

You use them for removable covers and cushion covers. This gives you easy access to the filling and a neat finish. They also suit upholstery fabrics and curtains. A nylon zip is flexible and suitable for fabric. This makes it easy to create covers that you can wash or replace.

You order the zip by the metre, including 1 slider. Measure the opening of your cover or cushion and order at least that length. A slightly longer zip is easier to work with than one that is too short. For a sofa cover or a long opening, choose a longer zip than for a cushion.

The 10-metre roll is a 4 mm nylon zip with 20 sliders included, handy for several zips. The 200-metre roll is intended for larger quantities. Check the product page for exactly what is supplied. A single slider is ordered separately.

Yes, you cut a nylon zip from the roll to the length you want. You thread the two sides into the slider and add a stop or a few stitches at the bottom so the slider doesn't come off. Not sure how? Feel free to ask for instructions. It's better to cut the zip too long than too short, because you can always shorten it.

You need a separate slider for a zip from the roll or to replace a broken slider. We have zip sliders per 500 pieces and a Prym slider ring. Check the product page for how to use them or ask for advice. That way you don't have to replace the whole zip when a slider breaks.

Our zips are made of nylon and are intended for upholstery, such as covers, cushions and curtains. Check the product for the available colour and size. Looking for a different colour or not sure which zip fits? Send us a photo or the dimensions via WhatsApp, or visit our showroom in Antwerp.

A threaded insert nut (rampa nut) is a nut with a wood thread on the outside and a metric thread on the inside. This lets you create a threaded connection in wood for a bolt or threaded rod, for example in furniture construction or for swivel castors with a threaded stem. The connection can be assembled and disassembled repeatedly.

Choose the size that matches your bolt or threaded stud: M8 for an 8 mm thread, M10 for a 10 mm thread. Our threaded insert nuts are 25 mm long. The M8 has a 14 mm flange, the M10 a 16 mm flange. That way you can be sure the bolt or threaded stud fits.

First drill a hole with the correct pilot size and screw the nut in with an Allen key. For M8 drill approx. 10.7 to 11 mm and use Allen key 8; for M10 approx. 12 to 12.5 mm and Allen key 10. These are the dimensions for the brass versions. The nut cuts its own thread in softwood and chipboard.

Threaded insert nuts are suitable for softwoods and chipboard; the M10 in galvanised steel also mentions MDF and plywood. The self-tapping outer thread bites into the wood. If you are unsure about a hardwood, ask us via WhatsApp. The M8 and M10 per 100 pieces are made of brass, the large M10 pack of galvanised steel; the material is stated with each product.

You can buy them per 100 pieces or in a bulk pack: M8 x 25 mm per 2500 pieces and M10 x 25 mm per 2000 pieces. The threaded insert nut (rampa) is also available per 100 pieces. Need other quantities? Please contact us. For large projects or production, the boxes of 2000 and 2500 pieces are handy.

It is a threaded insert nut with a wood thread on the outside and a metric thread on the inside, for use with a metric bolt or threaded rod. You use the slot in the head to screw the nut in. See the product page for details.

The nylon universal plug is suitable for concrete, brick, plasterboard, hollow blocks and other building materials. That gives you a suitable plug for most walls. Not sure about your wall? Send a photo via WhatsApp.

A universal plug is fixed with a screw, a nail plug with a nail that you hammer in. The RAWL nail plug has a trumpet-shaped collar that holds it firmly in place. According to the product description, both are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The universal plug is made of nylon (PROFTEC), the nail plug is from RAWL.

Yes. Plugs and wall fixing plugs are the same thing: a plug that gives a screw or nail something to grip in the wall. You will find both names in this category. So if you are looking for a wall fixing plug, you are in the right place.

Drill a hole that matches the plug, push the plug in, then screw or hammer in the screw or nail. This expands the plug and gives it grip in the wall. Also follow the manufacturer's instructions so that the plug carries the intended weight. Use a drill bit that matches the plug; the right drill size is on the packaging or the product page. A hole that is too big gives too little grip.

That differs per plug and wall and cannot be given as a single number. It depends on the type of plug, the wall, the screw and the installation. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and, for heavy objects, ask for advice via WhatsApp or in our showroom. A strong plug alone is not enough: the screw must also suit the weight.

The screw must match the plug, so check the packaging or the product page for the right size. You can find screws in our Screws category and matching bits in Bits and bit holders. Not sure? Send a photo via WhatsApp.

An anti-slip mat stops seat cushions, sofas and rugs from shifting or sliding. Our mat is 60 cm wide and strong enough to be used as an underlay in seat cushions. It doesn't stick, doesn't leave marks and is resistant to UV and ageing. It is easy to cut to size and washable up to 30 °C.

Measure the length and width of what you want to secure and order as many metres as you need. The mat is 60 cm wide and sold by the running metre, so for a rug 2 metres long you need at least 2 metres. Not sure? Send the dimensions via WhatsApp. A full roll contains 30 metres, but you simply buy the number of metres you need.

You use silicone spray to lubricate and protect, for example hinges, rails, rubber seals and other moving parts. It can be used on metal, plastic, rubber and wood. On sensitive surfaces, test it first on a small area. It is also used as a release agent for cutting machines and moulds.

Both cans contain 400 ml. The Bladi silicone spray is transparent, antistatic and heat-resistant up to 50 °C; the high-quality silicone spray is mainly intended for hinges, rubber seals and drawer runners. Read the instructions on the packaging before use.

Use a special sewing machine oil, such as our ReStyle sewing machine oil (100 ml). It is an acid-free, almost colourless and odourless mineral oil with low viscosity that also penetrates small parts. Check your machine's manual for where and how often to lubricate.

Yes, according to the product description the oil is also suitable for other household machines and precision mechanical devices where a light lubricating oil is needed. It reduces friction and protects metal against rust. If the manufacturer specifies a different oil, follow that advice.

You'll find handy sewing and needlework tools: tailor's chalk, chalk pencils, marking pens, seam rippers, a thread puller, tape measures, hem gauges, a thread fairy and a wool comb. You can see what each pack contains on the product page.

You use a seam ripper to take out stitches and seams without damaging the fabric. Prym has a large, a small and an ergonomic seam ripper. The small one gives more control on fine seams and tightly woven fabric. To undo an incorrect stitch you can also use the Prym thread puller.

Tailor's chalk is a dry chalk that you use to mark cut-outs and markings on textile and that you can remove again. A marking pen is handy for seam lines and patterns. You remove the lines of the Prym Aqua marking pen with water. Always test on a scrap of fabric first. Tailor's chalk comes in sets of 10, in white or in four colours.

You fold the hem over with the hem gauge or mark it. It has pre-punched sizes of 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 6 cm and a marking scale up to 6 cm. It is compact and fits in the compartment of your sewing machine. You can also use it to measure buttonholes.

Prym Wonder Tape is double-sided tape for textile that lets you hold fabric layers in place temporarily without sewing or pinning. The magnetic seam allowance guide, in sets of 10, helps you align seams and edges evenly. Handy for quilting and patchwork. The Wonder Tape is 6 mm wide. Both can be ordered per piece or per set; the contents are listed on the product page.

Yes. Send us a photo or your question via WhatsApp and we'll think along with you. You can easily order online or drop by our showroom in Antwerp to look at the tools.

Yes, outdoor fabric is made for use outside. SUNLIGHT is 100% olefin, water-repellent and UV-resistant, and AMALFI faux leather is resistant to moisture and UV light. Still, let cushions dry standing upright after a rain shower, so no moisture stays in the filling. If your furniture sits in full sun, choose a fabric with UV protection.

Choose faux leather for ease and woven fabric for seating comfort. Faux leather (Skai Primera, Montana, RIF, AMALFI) wipes clean with a damp cloth, handy for boat cushions and hospitality. Woven outdoor fabric such as SUNLIGHT breathes better and feels more like textile. In terms of material, PVC (AMALFI) is stiffer and sturdier, PU (RIF) more supple and softer.

Measure each cushion (length, width and thickness) and add seam allowance. The width of the roll is on the product page; for Skai Primera and RIF, among others, it is 140 cm. Send your measurements via WhatsApp and we'll calculate the metres needed with you. Keep in mind that the roll width determines how many pieces you can lay side by side.

Yes. SUNLIGHT was developed for boat cushions, caravans and hospitality terraces, among other things, with a Martindale of 40,000 to 50,000 rubs. AMALFI is heavy-duty faux leather for maritime applications, among others. Ask us for advice if you have specific fire safety requirements. For hospitality, preferably choose a fabric with high abrasion resistance.

Wipe the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. SUNLIGHT has an Easy Clean treatment, so most stains come off easily. Don't use aggressive cleaners or solvents, and let the fabric dry thoroughly before you store cushions. For faux leather, a soft cloth is often enough; don't rub too hard.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Open the product page of the fabric and click 'Ontvang een sample' (get a sample), so you can judge colour and texture at home next to your furniture. That way you see right away whether the colour suits your garden or terrace furniture.

The staple must match the type of your staple gun, so check the machine or the packaging. We have type 71, 80 and 90 staples and pneumatic machines for each of those types. If nothing is printed on your machine, send a photo via WhatsApp. That way you avoid buying staples that don't fit your machine.

Type 71 has a narrow crown of 9.1 mm and fine round wire; type 80 has flat wire with a wider crown of 12.8 mm. This makes type 71 less noticeable in thick fabrics. For leather or faux leather we recommend type 80, because it is less likely to tear out.

That depends on the thickness of your fabric and upholstery: the staple must go through the layers and hold firmly in the wood or frame. We have type 80 in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 mm, and the Prebena VZ06CNK in 6 or 8 mm. If in doubt, ask us via WhatsApp. A staple that is too long comes out the other side, and one that is too short won't hold.

That depends on the type: we have type 80 in 5,000 and 10,000 pieces, type 71 in 10,000 pieces. Type 90 is packed in 5000 or 2520 pieces, depending on the length. The quantity is always listed on the product page.

A manual staple gun works by hand force; a pneumatic stapler runs on compressed air. Pneumatic is faster and takes less force when you have a lot of stapling to do. We have the HPVZ08 manual staple gun and pneumatic machines for types 71, 80 and 90. For a pneumatic machine you need a compressor with compressed air.

Often yes, if the type is the same. Type 80 is suitable for Senco, Bostitch, Haubold, Max and Kitpro, among others, and type 71 corresponds to Prebena V, Bea 71 and Senco 3G, among others. The full list is on the product page. Always check that the staple fits your exact tacker model.

Choose the needle based on your fabric: Universal for most woven fabrics, Jersey or Stretch for stretchy fabrics, Jeans or Gold Jeans for denim and thick fabrics, and Leather for leather. You use Microtex for fine, delicate fabrics. Choose the exact size based on the thickness of your fabric.

The first number is the needle size (80 means 0.80 mm), the second number is the American number (12). A higher number is a thicker needle for heavy fabric, a lower number a finer needle for thin fabric. This way you quickly find the right size in the range of Schmetz needles.

Replace your needle with every new project and as soon as you notice skipped stitches, snagging thread or small holes in the fabric. A blunt or bent needle damages your fabric and can strain your machine. That keeps your stitching neat and your machine in good condition.

For faux leather and leather, use a Leather needle with a sharp point, and for sturdy fabrics a Jeans or Topstitch needle in a higher size, such as 90 to 110 or 100/16. If your fabric is very thick, send us a photo of your project. If in doubt, choose a slightly thicker needle rather than one that is too thin.

A Universal needle is meant for general sewing on cotton, polyester and other woven fabrics. A Jeans needle has a sharp point and sturdy construction for denim and heavy fabrics; Gold Jeans also has a gold coating. Which one you choose depends on the fabric you're working with.

Use a Jersey, Stretch or Black Super Stretch needle. These have a rounded point, so the needle slides between the threads instead of piercing through them, which prevents skipped stitches. Choose the size based on your fabric, for example 70 to 90 for the Jersey set in our range.

Outdoor fabrics are suitable for garden furniture, outdoor cushions, lounge sets, sun loungers, seat cushions and other outdoor projects. Thanks to their weather-resistant properties, they stay beautiful even in rain, sun and intensive use. At BLADI you will find outdoor fabrics that are both functional and stylish, so your outdoor space keeps looking well cared for.

Most BLADI outdoor fabrics are water-repellent, which means water droplets stay on the surface and do not quickly soak into the fibres. As a result, the fabrics dry quickly and are better protected against mould. This makes them ideal for use on garden sets and lounge sets.

Outdoor fabrics are easy to maintain. Brushing them off and rinsing them with water regularly prevents dirt from building up. At BLADI we provide clear care instructions for every fabric, so your outdoor cushions and furniture last for years and keep their colour.

These materials are specially developed for marine conditions and stay beautiful even with intensive use and exposure to salt water and sun. They form the ideal basis for durable and comfortable boat cushions.

Although boat fabrics are very weather-resistant, we at BLADI advise storing cushions indoors during prolonged rain, storms or over the winter. This keeps the fabrics and the filling in optimal condition, which significantly extends the life of your boat cushions.

Our boat fabrics are easy to keep clean with water and mild soap. Thanks to the dirt- and mould-resistant treatment, stains are less likely to sink in and the fabric stays fresh for longer. Rinsing regularly with fresh water helps remove salt residue.

A Moroccan sedari is a traditional seating piece used mainly in Moroccan living rooms. It is a kind of low sofa, often placed along the walls of the room, and is the central piece of furniture in a Moroccan salon (living room).

The price of a Moroccan sedari can vary greatly depending on factors such as the quality of the materials, the craftsmanship, the size and the amount of decoration. That is why we always recommend visiting our showroom in Antwerp for a price.

Yes, Moroccan sedaris can definitely be made to measure. Many people choose to have a sedari made to measure because it lets them adapt the dimensions, materials, colours and decorations to their own taste and the interior of their home.

With a made-to-measure sedari you can make choices in the following areas:

1. Dimensions: The size of the sedari can be adapted to the space where it will go. This is especially handy if your living room has specific dimensions or an unusual shape.
2. Upholstery: You can choose from different types of fabric, such as velvet, silk, cotton or synthetic materials. Colours and patterns can also be fully tailored to your preference.
3. Wooden frame: The wooden base of the sedari can vary in design and finish. You can choose simple woodwork or detailed wood carving.
4. Filling and comfort: The firmness of the cushions can also be adjusted as you wish, depending on how soft or firm you want the seats to be.
5. Decoration: Traditional embroidery, ornaments and fringes can be added or left out, depending on the style you want (modern or traditional).

Yes, the fabrics used for Moroccan sedaris are sold separately by us. This lets you have the cushions and upholstery of your sedari covered to your own taste, or replaced when the fabric wears out over time. A wide range of fabrics is available, depending on the style you are looking for.

Here are some characteristics of the fabrics sold separately:

1. Materials: Commonly used fabrics are velvet, cotton, silk and synthetic fabrics. Velvet is popular for its luxurious look, while cotton and synthetic materials are more durable and easier to maintain.
2. Patterns and colours: Sedari fabrics are often available in vivid colours and traditional Moroccan patterns, such as geometric shapes, arabesques and floral motifs. Gold, red, blue and green are popular colours.
3. Custom work: Because the fabrics are sold separately, you can have them cut and sewn to measure for your sedari. This means you can adapt the dimensions to the exact size of your cushions and sofas.

Furniture upholstery means covering a piece of furniture again with a new fabric. At BLADI you will find high-quality materials suitable for chairs, armchairs, sofas and other seating. Upholstering gives your furniture a new look without replacing the frame. It is sustainable, affordable and offers countless possibilities in colour and style.

For furniture upholstery, we at BLADI mainly recommend hard-wearing materials such as bouclé, sturdy woven fabrics, velvet, chenille and faux leather. These fabrics are designed to stay beautiful for a long time and are ideal for both heavily used furniture and decorative pieces.

Experienced DIYers can carry out many upholstery projects themselves, especially when it comes to simple chairs or cushions. For more complex furniture, it is advisable to call in a professional. In both cases BLADI provides high-quality fabrics by the metre and advice to achieve a perfect result.

Yes, all upholstery fabrics at BLADI are available by the metre. This way you order exactly the amount you need for your upholstery project. Thanks to our large stock, we can deliver quickly, to private customers and professionals alike.

PU faux leather is softer and more supple and feels most like real leather, PVC is stiffer but very strong and easy to clean. With us, for example, Arizona, Rif and Atlas are PU, and Bronco, Boston and Amalfi are PVC. Choose PU for a soft, leather-like look and PVC when sturdiness and convenience come first. Thickness and Martindale are given for each product.

For a dining chair you often need 0.5 to 1 metre, for a sofa quickly several metres. Most faux leathers are 138 to 142 cm wide and many rolls are 30 metres long, but you simply order by the metre. Measure your furniture or ask for advice via WhatsApp; the exact width is on the product page.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Click the 'Get a sample' button on the product page; you can do this up to 4 times, so you can judge colour and feel at home. Sample books and sample hangers are intended for business customers.

Yes, provided you choose a sturdy quality. Amalfi is a heavy-duty PVC faux leather for hospitality, campers and boats, Boston, Arizona and Rif reach at least 100,000 Martindale, and Primera, Montana and Rif are scratch-resistant. Arome (0.7 mm) is thin and meant for light use. Faux leather is never completely scratch-proof.

Wipe faux leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and, if needed, a little mild soap. Do not use abrasives, alcohol or harsh solvents, as these can damage the top layer. Then dry the surface thoroughly and the faux leather will stay beautiful for a long time.

Use a contact adhesive or spray adhesive suitable for faux leather and foam. Test the glue on a scrap first, as some glues attack the top layer. Apply the glue thinly and evenly. When upholstering, you can also staple or sew faux leather in place.

You use felt or felt glides to protect your floor from scratches and to let furniture slide smoothly. You attach them under the legs of chairs, tables and other furniture. Felt is softer than the leg itself and absorbs scratches.

Self-adhesive felt is ideal for heavy furniture and furniture made of steel or aluminium, where screwing or nailing is difficult. We also have versions with Power adhesion. Felt nails and deluxe felt glides with screw are attached with a nail or screw.

Measure the diameter of your furniture leg and choose a glide that fits it well. Our felt glides and anti-scratch felt come in diameters from ø18 to ø35 mm. Not sure? Send a photo via WhatsApp. The diameter is in the product name, together with the number per pack.

Yes. Cut-to-size felt is available self-adhesive in white and brown, 150 mm x 200 mm per piece. You cut it to the right shape and size yourself, so you get a perfect fit even for an unusual piece of furniture. Cut-to-size felt is handy when none of the standard sizes fit. You stick it on the underside of the furniture.

Anti-scratch felt protects your floor from scratches. If you want something not to slide away, use self-adhesive anti-slip rubber. Plastic glide nails let furniture slide more easily across the floor. So choose based on what you want to achieve: protect, let slide or hold in place. You can see which fixing suits on the product page.

Yes. Send a photo of your furniture leg and your question via WhatsApp or contact us, and we'll help you choose. You can also drop by our showroom in Antwerp. Let us know which piece of furniture and which floor it is for.

We have galvanised chipboard screws with flat head (TX and Pozi) for wood and board materials, drywall screws for plasterboard and furniture frame construction, and a self-drilling sheet metal screw for metal. All sizes are listed on the product pages. Not sure? Send a photo or ask via WhatsApp and we'll help you choose.

TX (Torx) has a star profile, Pozi (Pozidriv) a cross profile. You need a bit that matches the head exactly: a TX bit for TX, a PZ bit for Pozi. You'll find matching bits in our Bits and bit holders category. If you're not sure which head your screw has, send a photo via WhatsApp.

A galvanised chipboard screw with a countersunk flat head is a good choice. The Bladi chipboard screw has a sharp, deep thread and a wax coating, so it drives in easily in wood types and board materials. Pre-drill for hard woods or close to the edge.

You use drywall screws (fast-build screws) with a fine thread for plasterboard on metal, but also for furniture frame construction and for spruce on spruce. Our 3.5 x 35 and 3.5 x 45 mm come in packs of 1000, black phosphate-coated, with a bugle head and PH-2 drive.

A self-drilling sheet metal screw has a drill point and drills its own hole, so you don't need to pre-drill. Our DIN 7504 K (6.3 x 25 mm, hex head, electro-galvanised) is meant for sheet thicknesses of 2 to 6 mm. You drive it in with a size 10 hex socket. It is mainly used in the metalworking industry.

Choose a screw that goes well through the top material and bites into the bottom material with most of its length. The dimensions are listed for each screw on the product page. Not sure? Send us the thickness of your materials via WhatsApp and we'll help you work it out.

Collated screws (strip screws) are joined together in a plastic strip and are used with a collated screw gun or auto-feed screwdriver. This lets you fasten plasterboard faster and with fewer jams than with loose screws. They fit all common brands of collated screw guns. The strip is made of high-quality plastic for trouble-free feeding.

Fine thread (3.5 mm) is meant for plasterboard on metal stud profiles, coarse thread (3.9 mm) for plasterboard on wooden battens. The fine screw pierces metal up to 0.8 mm thick, the coarse one has plenty of grip in wood. So choose based on your substructure. Both are phosphate-coated and have a PH-2 drive.

The fine screws (3.5 mm) come in 25, 35 and 55 mm, the coarse ones (3.9 mm) in 25, 45 and 55 mm. Each pack contains 1000 pieces. Choose the length based on the thickness of the plasterboard plus the substructure the screw has to bite into.

No, these screws are meant for indoor use. They are phosphate-coated and have passed a 96-hour salt spray test, which makes them corrosion-resistant. For outdoor applications, choose a screw designed for that. For indoor work, such as plasterboard on an interior wall or partition wall, they are exactly what you need.

All collated screws have a PH-2 drive, so your machine needs to use a PH-2 bit. Check this on your collated screw gun before you order. Not sure? Send a photo or the machine type via WhatsApp.

Yes. According to the product description, the phosphate-coated screws can be finished perfectly well with a wall finish such as plaster or latex wall paint. They are also corrosion-resistant, so no rust bleeds through your finish. You can paint over them without worry.

Fabric scissors have an extra sharp cutting edge, so they cut cleanly through textile. Regular scissors are less sharp and can make the fabric fray or snag. That's why you should only use your fabric scissors for fabric. This keeps the end result neat.

Choose a large pair of scissors of about 24 cm, such as the Mundial Reinforced Sewing Scissors (24.1 cm) or the Mundial 10-inch fabric scissors. As a general rule: the bigger the scissors, the heavier the fabric you can cut. If you have small hands, a 20 to 22 cm model is often more comfortable.

Yes, we have the 21.6 cm Mundial scissors in a left-handed version. That matters, because with the wrong hand the blades get pushed apart and you cut fabric poorly. Left-handed scissors cut more comfortably and more accurately. When ordering, look for the word left-handed in the product name.

For fine work, such as snipping threads or embroidery, use small scissors such as the 12.7 cm single-ring scissors or the 14.5 cm Mundial fabric scissors. For cutting lengths of fabric, choose larger fabric scissors. Small scissors also come in handy in hard-to-reach spots.

Only use your fabric scissors for textile, not for paper or other materials. This keeps the blades sharp and sliding smoothly past each other. Also don't use too much force, and never cut without fabric between the blades, as the scissors can end up cutting into themselves.

Titanium scissors have blades with a titanium coating that protects them, such as the corrosion-resistant Mundial Titanium Scissors of 21.5 cm. An ergonomic soft-touch handle, like on the Cushion Pro (20 cm), is more comfortable during long cutting sessions. Not sure? Ask for advice via WhatsApp.

TMC 520 is meant for practically any stain in any type of textile, such as grease, oil, coffee or paint. It is a ready-to-use product in a spray bottle. Test it first on an inconspicuous spot and read the instructions on the product page. That way you know in advance whether the product suits your fabric and your stain.

You use Citronel to remove glue residue, contact adhesive, ink, oil and grease and to degrease surfaces. It is an organic cleaner based on citrus terpenes in a 500 ml bottle. On sensitive surfaces, test it first on an inconspicuous spot. On textiles, don't rub hard but dab, and work from the outside in.

You use silicone spray as a lubricant for moving parts and as a release agent on cutting and foam machines and moulds. It is transparent, antistatic and heat-resistant up to 50 °C. A can contains 400 ml. Spray briefly and in a targeted way, so you don't use more product than necessary.

Mark the cutting line on the back of the material and spray a strip about 4 cm wide from a distance of approx. 10 cm, generously enough to saturate the fibres. Let everything dry completely before you cut; this takes 2 to 5 minutes at 20 °C. This is handy when cutting upholstery fabric or floor covering to size, so the edge stays neat.

Test every product first on an inconspicuous spot and dab stains gently instead of rubbing. The right care depends on the type of fabric; our blogs give dos and don'ts for faux leather, mottled fabric and chenille. Otherwise send a photo via WhatsApp. If you have doubts about the fabric type, let us know before you use a product.

Yes, the products are intended for professional upholsterers as well as hobbyists who work with upholstery fabrics, sewing or textiles. Always read the instructions on the product page and test first on an inconspicuous spot. A photo of your project helps us advise the right product.

Choose the needle based on your fabric: Jersey for knits and other stretch fabrics, Jeans for denim, Leather for leather and Microtex for fine, tightly woven fabrics. Universal suits ordinary woven and knitted fabrics. The wrong needle can damage the fabric or break. For stretch fabrics choose a Jersey, Stretch or Super Stretch needle with a rounded point, which doesn't damage the fabric and helps prevent skipped stitches.

The first number is the needle thickness in hundredths of a millimetre, the second number is the American size. A lower number is a thinner needle for fine fabrics, a higher number a thicker needle for heavy fabrics such as denim or leather.

In most household sewing machines they do, because Schmetz machine needles have a flat back. For an overlocker you need a separate overlock needle, which we also have. Not sure about your model? Check the manual or ask us for advice.

Use hand needles: mattress needles or curved upholstery needles. Our mattress needles are straight and come in lengths from 100 to 350 mm, available per piece. The Prym upholstery needles are curved and supplied as a set of 3 (no. 2, 4 and 5), handy in hard-to-reach places.

Use the Prym leather needles no. 3-7 with a triangular point. It penetrates leather, faux leather, Skai and suede without needlessly damaging the material. For the sewing machine there are Schmetz Leather needles in sizes 80 to 100. For thick thread and topstitching there are Topstitch needles with an extra large eye.

Choose the needle by fabric and thickness, and feel free to ask for advice. Send a photo of your fabric or project via WhatsApp and we'll tell you which needle and size fits. You can also drop by our showroom in Antwerp. On the product page you can see which sizes and how many needles are in a set.

An all-purpose sewing thread, such as Gütermann all-purpose thread of 200 or 500 m, is suitable for most fabrics and works both on the sewing machine and for hand sewing. For the overlocker you need overlock thread, for heavy fabrics an extra strong thread. Not sure? Ask for advice.

Use an extra strong thread, such as Gütermann Extra Strong (100 m), or a thread made specifically for jeans and leather. Heavy material demands a lot of the thread. A thread that is too weak snaps quickly or shows in the seam. Feel free to ask us about the options for leather.

You use all-purpose thread for most sewing work, overlock thread (thickness 120, 2750 m) is meant for the overlocker. Gütermann Miniking is a large 1000 m spool for those who sew many metres. Check the product page for the exact use. That way you choose the thread that suits your machine and project.

For a cushion cover a spool of 100 or 200 m is usually enough; for a sofa or several projects you choose 500 or 1000 m. It depends on the number of seams and the thickness of the fabric. If you want to be sure, send us a photo via WhatsApp. One spool too many is better than one too few, especially with colour differences between batches.

Choose the shade closest to your fabric, and when in doubt go slightly darker rather than lighter. We have all-purpose thread of 200 m in beige/white/black, red, yellow, brown, green, blue, pink/purple and grey, among others. Missing a colour? Then contact us.

Yes, a set is handy if you need several colours. We have a set of 7 x 100 m, among others, and sets with extras such as a seam ripper and ruler, or a Zoomlat and Seam-Fix. You can see the contents on the product page. Can't decide? Ask for advice in our showroom in Antwerp.

You put a furniture cap around the leg, and a tube plug into the hollow leg. Both are made of plastic and usually come in packs of 4. Choose based on the type of leg you have. A cap also protects your floor from scratches.

Measure the outer diameter of the leg for a cap that fits around it, and the inner diameter for a tube plug that fits inside. The size in mm is in the product name. Not sure? Send us a photo via WhatsApp. Preferably measure in two places, because a leg is not always perfectly round.

We have furniture caps for round legs in 12, 16, 22, 25, 28 and 32 mm. Tube plugs for inside a round leg come in 22, 25 and 32 mm. There is also a crystal-clear coaster of ø40 mm, per 2 pieces. Choose the size in mm that fits the outside (cap) or inside (tube plug) of your leg.

Yes, for square legs we have black plastic tube plugs (ribbed plugs) of 20 x 20, 25 x 25 and 30 x 30 mm, per 4 pieces. Square suits a sleek, modern interior in particular. The size is in the product name, so you can quickly choose the right one.

A plastic cap is sturdy, lasts a long time and finishes the leg neatly. Felt is softer on the floor and lets furniture slide more easily. Both protect against scratches, so the choice depends on your leg and floor. If you want felt, take a look at our felt glides and anti-scratch felt.

Contact us or send a photo via WhatsApp, and we'll help you find a suitable solution. Where possible we add the cap to our range. You can order online or drop by our showroom in Antwerp. Feel free to include the size in mm, so we can help you faster.

Use a spray adhesive or contact adhesive for upholstery. With it you attach foam rubber, cold foam and polyether to a base frame of wood, metal or plastic. Read the application instructions on the packaging before use.

Spray adhesive comes in an aerosol can and is handy for one-off jobs. A glue tank (pressure vessel) is used with a spray gun and hose for larger quantities. We have glue tanks of 19 litres and of 21.8 kg. Check the product pages for the right combination.

Yes. We have a heat-resistant spray adhesive of 500 ml, also from Palty, as a contact adhesive for high temperatures. The product page states a temperature resistance of up to about 110 °C. Check that the glue suits your material, or ask us for advice. There is also a Heavy Duty spray adhesive of 500 ml, with a temperature resistance of up to 55 °C.

For fabric you use textile glue. A spray can is handy for larger pieces of fabric, because the glue is spread evenly. For a small piece or precision work, a tube is often better. Among others we have Gütermann Textile Glue HT2 of 30 g.

You need a spray gun and a hose. We have a Premium spray gun for glue tanks, a metal eco spray gun and a black 5.5 m hose for contact adhesive pressure vessels. Check on the product page that the parts fit together. A glue tank with gun is especially handy if you do a lot of gluing.

Yes. Send a photo and your question via WhatsApp or contact us, and we'll help you choose. You can also drop by our showroom in Antwerp. We also have wood glue, Citronel glue remover and anti-fray spray.

Iron-on interfacing is attached to the fabric with an iron, sew-in interfacing is sewn on. We have curtain tape in both versions, 7.7 cm wide. Read the product's instructions for use. Iron-on is the quickest, sew-in is the sturdiest for heavy fabric.

Choose the interlining based on the fabric and the effect you want, for example H180, H200 (both 90 cm wide) or G785. Each type has its own function, so check the product page. Not sure? Ask for advice via WhatsApp or in our showroom. Always test the interlining on a scrap of your fabric first.

Soluvlies is a fleece that dissolves in water and Stik en Trek is a tear-away backing, both used as a base for embroidery and appliqués. After stitching, you remove Soluvlies with water or tear away Stik en Trek. Both are 45 cm wide and can be ordered by the metre. This keeps your embroidery or appliqué nicely in shape while you work.

With the 2 cm Vlieseline fusible hemming tape you fix a hem in place with the iron. You use Vliesofix to bond pieces of fabric together, for example in appliqués. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the right temperature. Test on a scrap of fabric first.

You use curtain tape at the top of a curtain to stiffen it and hang it. We have 7.7 cm curtain tape by the metre, iron-on or sew-in. Combine it with our curtain hooks for a neatly hanging curtain. This gives you a crisp top edge for the hooks to hold on to.

You order interfacing by the metre online. If you're not sure which type suits your project, ask for advice via WhatsApp or drop by our showroom in Antwerp. We're happy to help you choose the right interlining, including for seam tape and shaping tape. That way you get exactly the length you need.

You place the parts on both sides of the fabric and press them together with pliers, for example the Prym Vario Pliers. You don't need needle and thread. Always follow the instructions on the packaging and first check on a scrap of fabric that the snap fastener holds well. That way the result stays neat and sturdy.

Usually yes, for a sturdy and neat fixing. The Prym Vario Pliers are made for this with Prym snap fasteners. Check the product page to see which snap fasteners fit the pliers. Without pliers it is difficult to attach sew-free snap fasteners firmly.

Among others we have Prym sew-free snap fasteners of 15 mm, jersey snap fasteners of 10 mm (20 pieces, refill pack) and rhinestone buttons of 20, 25 and 30 mm. Check the product page for details. Missing a size or colour? Let us know via WhatsApp. The size is given in the product name.

Jersey snap fasteners are meant for jersey fabric, a thin, stretchy fabric. They are 10 mm and come as a refill pack of 20 pieces. Follow the instructions on the packaging when attaching them and check on the product page whether this is the right size for your project. Not sure about the fabric? Feel free to ask for advice.

Yes, snap fasteners are handy for closing and reopening cushion covers easily. This works by snapping or twisting, depending on the type. Choose a snap fastener that suits the weight and thickness of your fabric, or ask for advice. That way you can also wash the cover easily.

Yes, we have acrylic rhinestone buttons in 20, 25 and 30 mm. They give your project a shiny, decorative look. Check the product photos for the appearance and size, or come and see them in our showroom in Antwerp. They suit cushions, clothing and other decorative projects.

With furniture connectors you couple two furniture elements together, such as the sections of a corner sofa or lounge set, so they don't shift apart. You attach the parts to the furniture and slide them together. The metal coupling set is also suitable for joining a headboard or footboard to a bed.

The element connector 5000 consists of two separate parts that you attach underneath the furniture. You couple the pieces by sliding them against each other and uncouple them by lifting the piece with the short part out of the other. If you leave the pieces standing separately, you swivel the long element away underneath the furniture.

Yes, in many cases you can simply slide the metal parts apart again, which is handy for moving house or cleaning. This applies to the metal coupling set, for example. The galvanised flat-head furniture connector also gives a detachable connection between two wooden parts at right angles to each other. Which model suits best depends on your furniture.

The metal element connectors per piece are 9.5 cm wide and 4.5 cm high, with screw holes 7.5 cm apart centre to centre. The metal coupling set is 12.8 cm high and 3.9 cm wide. For the other models the dimensions are on the product page. Please note: we sell the metal element connectors per piece and not per set, so order two per connection.

A bed lift is a mechanism that lets you tilt the bed up to reach the storage space underneath. Our set has 800 N gas springs and is supplied for left and right. You fit it with your own screws or nuts and bolts. Not sure whether the set fits your bed? Send a photo via WhatsApp.

Yes, you can come to us for larger quantities. The metal element connectors, for example, come from a full box of 300 pieces. Contact us via WhatsApp or the contact form to discuss the options.

Band elastic is available by the metre in widths of 10, 15, 25, 40 and 50 mm. You use it for waistbands, hems, covers and fitted sheets. We also have Prym waist elastic of 38 mm in black and transparent Prym knitting elastic. A wide band keeps its shape well. The width is always given in the product name.

Choose a wide band for a wide waistband or hem, and a narrow band for a narrow casing. Measure the casing and choose a width that just fits inside. Prym waist elastic (38 mm) is made for waistbands. Not sure about the width? Ask for advice.

Both work, depending on the effect you want. You can stitch the elastic directly onto the fabric or thread it through a casing in the fabric. Choose firm elastic when there will be a lot of tension, and stitch it down at both ends so it doesn't twist or roll. That way the elastic keeps its shape nicely.

Cut the elastic slightly shorter than the circumference it goes around so it fits snugly. Add the overlap for the seam as well. First wrap the elastic around your waist to decide how tight you want it. You order by the metre, so you choose exactly the length you need. With wide elastic, allow a little more length for the seam.

Band elastic is available in black or white. Use black with dark fabrics so it doesn't stand out, and white with light, fresh fabrics. For knitwear we have transparent Prym knitting elastic. Black or white suits almost any fabric and is therefore barely noticeable.

You order elastic by the metre online, so you choose exactly the length you need. Not sure about width or colour? Send us a photo or the dimensions via WhatsApp, or drop by our showroom in Antwerp. Then we'll choose the right band together.

Yes, chenille is sturdy enough for daily use on a sofa or armchair, especially in the dense qualities. Wear resistance differs per fabric, so check the Martindale value on the product page and choose a heavier fabric for intensive use. A dense weave keeps seats and armrests looking good for longer.

Regular chenille has a soft, even, velvety surface, while bouclé chenille adds a structure of small loops on top. Bouclé therefore looks more playful and has more relief, whereas plain or ribbed chenille stays calmer. You will find both in this collection. Want to compare them side by side? Request a sample or visit the showroom.

Measure each part separately, such as seat, back, armrests and sides, and add a margin for seams and hems. If the fabric has a pattern, allow extra metres. Send us your dimensions or a photo via WhatsApp and we will help you calculate. It is best to order everything at once, because a reorder can show a slight colour difference.

Yes, if you choose a dense, sturdy quality such as MIXY, which is offered as pet-friendly. With open or looped structures, claws can snag more easily. Not sure? Check the product page or ask for advice via WhatsApp. A sample helps you judge the structure of the fabric beforehand.

Vacuum chenille regularly with a soft brush and blot stains straight away with a slightly damp cloth, without rubbing hard. Do not scrub and do not use harsh products, as this damages the surface. More tips are in our blog about chenille care. Always test a stain remover on an inconspicuous spot of the fabric first.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Request a sample with the ‘Get a sample’ button on the product page, or visit our showroom in Antwerp to feel the fabric. That way you can judge colour and texture before you order by the metre.

Send us your dimensions or a photo via WhatsApp and we will help you calculate. It is best to order everything at once, because a reorder can show a slight colour difference.

The Martindale value shows how hard-wearing a fabric is. The higher the number, the more durable the fabric. For daily use on a sofa choose a higher value, while a lower one is enough for decorative cushions.

You will find the exact value for each fabric on its product page.

Choose a dense, sturdy quality with high wear resistance. With open or looped structures, claws can snag more easily.

Not sure? Check the product page or ask for advice via WhatsApp. A sample helps you judge the structure beforehand.

Screens never display colours exactly, so there may be a small difference from the real fabric. That is why we recommend requesting a sample first.

With a reorder, a slight colour difference between batches can also occur.

Yes. You have 14 days after receipt to request a return. The item must be in the same condition as you received it: unused, with labels and in the original packaging, and you need proof of purchase.

Start a return by contacting us at info@bladi.shop. After approval we will send you a return label with instructions. Parcels sent back without a requested return cannot be accepted.

For goods sold by the metre, such as upholstery fabrics and filling fibre, and for samples, exceptions to the return policy apply. Items in the sale and gift cards cannot be returned.

Not sure whether your fabric can be sent back? Please contact us before you order, so you know exactly where you stand.

Please check your order when you receive it. If an item is defective or damaged, or you received the wrong item, contact us straight away at info@bladi.shop.

We will assess the problem and sort it out for you.

You request a sample with the ‘Get a sample’ button on the product page. For samples you only pay the shipping costs: € 2.95 to Belgium and € 3.49 to the other countries. For that amount you receive up to 4 fabric samples.

They are small cut samples of about 3 by 2 cm. If you need larger samples, please contact us.

Colour and texture never look exactly the same on a screen as in real life. With a sample you can judge colour, texture and thickness beforehand, before you order by the metre.

You can also visit our showroom in Antwerp to feel the fabrics yourself.

Yes, for normal home use. Our gobelins have an abrasion resistance of 18,000 Martindale cycles and a sturdy jacquard weave. Will it be used very intensively, such as in hospitality? Then feel free to ask for advice before you order. The fabric also has a pilling resistance of level A and UV protection of factor 40+.

More than with a plain fabric. The motif repeats, so allow extra metres if you want the pattern to line up or run continuously. Send us your dimensions or a photo of your furniture via WhatsApp and we'll calculate the metres with you. A large motif shows to better effect on a sofa or backrest than on a narrow chair seat.

Our gobelins consist of 45% polyester and 55% cotton and are 140 cm wide. The fabric weighs 330 g/m² and is made in the EU. Polyester provides sturdiness and cotton comfort. The pattern is in the weave itself, so it doesn't wear off like a print would.

Yes, the fabric is washable at a maximum of 30 °C. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry. For upholstered furniture, vacuum regularly and dab stains immediately with a clean cloth, without rubbing. Always test a cleaning product first on an invisible spot on the fabric.

Yes. Gobelin is suitable for furniture upholstery, wall panels, decorative cushions and curtains. The fabric has UV protection of factor 40+ and high colourfastness under artificial light, which is handy for window decoration. It is therefore a versatile fabric for chairs and sofas as well as for decoration.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Open the product page of the fabric and click 'Get a sample'; this way you judge colour and texture at home next to your furniture. You'll see the design and colours in real life before you order metres.

Choose based on the type of furniture, the height you want, the material and the fixing method. Measure the current leg or the space under your furniture and compare it with the dimensions on the product page. Send us a photo and your measurements and we'll help you choose. Also pay attention to the maximum load and the style of the furniture.

M8 is a thread with a diameter of 8 mm, as on our leg sets for boxsprings. Before you order, check whether the threaded holes in your furniture or bed are also M8. If you're not sure, just ask us.

You fit furniture legs with screws or via a thread directly into the furniture; what you need depends on the model. For legs with M8 thread, you screw them into the matching threaded holes. See the product page for fitting. Make sure the furniture lies stable during fitting.

For heavy furniture, choose a metal furniture leg and spread the weight over enough legs, including in the middle of a long sofa or bed. The maximum load capacity differs per model; if it isn't listed with the product, ask us. An extra leg in the middle gives more stability on long furniture.

Choose legs with a plastic foot or stick a protective felt pad under metal legs. Plastic legs are gentler on your floor than bare metal, which can scratch a hard floor. Check the product page to see which foot the leg has. That way your parquet or laminate stays beautiful.

Yes, you can replace furniture legs to refresh or raise a sofa, cabinet, coffee table or bed. Measure the height and the fixing of the old leg and compare it with the new one. If in doubt, send a photo via WhatsApp. That way you give your furniture a new look without replacing it.

With a retractable knife you slide the blade out and back in; with a snap-off knife you break off a dull piece of the blade for a new sharp tip. We have a soft-grip version of both, handy for floor covering and upholstery work. The advantage of the snap-off knife is that you always have a sharp point without replacing the whole knife.

Choose the refill with the same width as the blade in your knife. We have 18 mm refills for snap-off knives (10 blades per pack) and 19 mm refills for retractable knives. Measure your current blade before you order. The retractable knife is refillable, so you can use it again and again.

An angled refill has an angled shape, which lets you cut precisely into corners and awkward spots. We have a 19 mm angled retractable knife refill. For regular cutting, use the straight 19 mm refill. Handy for edges and corners, for example.

You use them to cut floor covering and carpet and, according to the product description, also paper, cardboard and fabric. The snap-off knife is also handy for upholstery work. For a clean cut you always need a sharp blade. Choose a knife with soft grip if you cut for a longer time.

Always slide the blade back into the knife after use and replace it as soon as it gets dull. A dull knife takes more force and slips more easily. With a snap-off knife, break off the dull piece and keep refills out of reach of children. A sharp knife also gives a neater cut.

Yes. Send a photo of your knife or its packaging via WhatsApp and we'll tell you which refill fits. You can also drop by our showroom in Antwerp to look at the knives. The product pages list the sizes of the refills.

At minimum a tape measure to measure and tailor's chalk or a chalk pencil to mark. A set square helps with right-angled lines, and a hem gauge keeps a hem the same width everywhere. With this basic kit you measure, mark and cut accurately. Want to know how much fabric you need? Then the tape measure is the most important.

Measure each part (seat, back, armrests) at its longest and widest point, including the curve, and add seam allowance. A flexible tape measure follows rounded shapes. Send your measurements via WhatsApp and we'll help calculate. That way you avoid ordering too little or too much fabric.

The Prym tape measures (Junior and Color) are 150 cm long. The Color has a red-white-green scale, a yellow back with its own scale and metal ends. Both follow straight and curved surfaces. The Junior is a simple, flexible version for sewing, upholstery and hobby work.

Choose chalk with contrast: white on dark fabric, a colour on light fabric. The set of 4 colours contains 5 white, 2 blue, 2 red and 1 yellow chalk. We also have white tailor's chalk (10 pieces) and Prym tailor's chalk. White chalk is the classic choice for most dark fabrics.

Mark on the wrong side of the fabric, so no chalk residue is visible on the right side. Tailor's chalk is also easy to remove from the fabric. Measure twice, cut once. A set square helps you check right angles before you cut.

To mark and fold hems and seam allowances. The hem gauge has pre-punched sizes of 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 6 cm and a marking scale up to 6 cm. You can also use it to measure or mark buttonholes. It is sold per piece and fits in the compartment of your sewing machine.

Not with the transparent 19-litre contact adhesive tank: it is ready to use and works without a compressor, which is also handy on location. For the Heavy Duty Adhesive tank, read the product page or ask us, so you know exactly what you need. That way you can start right away, even somewhere without compressed air.

You need a hose and a spray gun. We have a black rubber hose of 5.5 m and a premium or metal eco spray gun. The Heavy Duty tank is described with an adjustable spray nozzle and a 5.5 m hose; check the product page to see what is included. A spray gun with a hanging eye hangs conveniently within reach.

The 19-litre tank contains aromatic-free contact adhesive based on SBR rubber (red or transparent); the 21.8 kg Heavy Duty tank is intended for cold foam, polyether, carpet, vinyl and wall coverings, among other things, and is free of methylene chloride. Choose the size that suits the scale of your projects.

For the Heavy Duty tank it is about 60 to 70 grams per m². The contact adhesive in the 19-litre tank covers up to 10 m² per litre when applied to one side. Actual consumption depends on the material. This way you can calculate in advance how much glue your project needs.

Among others: hard plastic laminate sheet (Formica, Duropal), veneer, wood, MDF, leather, rubber, foam, floor covering and EPDM rubber. For PVC (vinyl), check beforehand whether the plasticisers tolerate the adhesive. If in doubt, test on an offcut first. Work on a clean, dry surface for the best result.

About 2 minutes at 20 °C when applied to both sides. The open time is up to 1 hour, so you have plenty of time to position the parts. This applies to the contact adhesive in the 19-litre tank; for other adhesives, follow the product information. Press the parts together firmly, because contact adhesive bonds immediately.

The 40 watt glue gun takes glue sticks with a diameter of 11.2 mm. We sell these sticks, 10 cm long, in packs of 6. Always check the stick diameter of your gun before you order. A different diameter won't fit the gun properly.

Choose the stick diameter of your own gun. We have sticks of 11.2 mm (6 per pack) and 7.2 mm (12 per pack), both 10 cm long. According to the product page, the 7.2 mm sticks are meant for a 20 watt glue gun. Not sure? Just ask us.

With the sticks you can glue wood, paper and fabric together, among other things. It is suitable for small craft jobs and repairs. For large surfaces such as foam, a glue spray or contact adhesive is more practical. Remove any dust from the surface first for good adhesion.

Let the gun heat up properly first and place it on a stable surface. The gun and the melted glue get hot, so don't touch them. Also read the instructions for use of the product. After use, let the gun cool down in a stable place.

For precision work and small parts, choose a glue gun. For large surfaces such as foam or fabric, a glue spray or contact adhesive is more practical. In our adhesive collection you'll find sprays and glue tanks. Sometimes you use them together: gun for details, spray for the large surface.

Send a photo or your question via WhatsApp or contact us, and we'll help you choose. You can also drop by our showroom in Antwerp. On the product page you'll find extra details about the 40 watt glue gun.

You use them for tufting: cushions, chairs or a headboard fitted with buttons that are pulled into the fabric. The acrylic rhinestone buttons give your furniture a striking, glossy look. The button is mainly decorative. They have a small hook on the back with which you can pull the button tight.

We have the acrylic rhinestone buttons in 20, 25 and 30 mm. Choose a smaller button for a subtle accent and a larger button for a more striking effect on your furniture or cushion. Choose one size per piece of furniture for a calm overall look. You can also see the size in the product name.

The button has a small hook on the back. You use it to attach the button to a strong thread or cord, after which you pull it tight and secure it at the back. A long mattress needle from our needle collection is handy for this. Make sure the thread is strong enough for the tension.

They are acrylic rhinestone buttons that resemble crystal, not real Swarovski crystals. This gives you the sparkle of a crystal button, in an acrylic version. You'll find the description of the button on the product page.

That depends on your design and the distance between the buttons. First draw out the pattern on the fabric and then count the number of points where a button goes. Not sure? Send us your plan via WhatsApp and we'll think along with you. A regular pattern, such as diamonds, gives a calm result.

Besides buttons you need upholstery fabric, filling or foam, strong thread or cord and a long needle. You'll find much of this with us. Send a photo via WhatsApp or come by our showroom in Antwerp for advice. Then we'll help you choose the needle, thread and filling.

Choose 1 metre for a small job, 10 metres for several applications and the 25-metre roll if you need a lot or work regularly. If you're unsure about the amount, send us your plan via WhatsApp. You can always cut hook-and-loop tape to size, so you rarely throw away offcuts.

Our hook-and-loop tape comes in black and white, with a width of 20 mm. We also have black hook-and-loop dots of ø21 mm. You also choose the length: 1 metre, 10 metres or a 25-metre roll.

Yes, you can easily cut hook-and-loop tape to the length you want. On fabric you sew it on. You can also attach it to wood, plastic or leather, for example with suitable glue from our glue collection. Use sharp scissors for a neat cut.

The dots are handy for small fixing points where a long strip is too big. They consist of hook and loop, are easy to attach and reusable. Not sure whether they suit your application? Ask us via WhatsApp or contact.

Yes. Hook-and-loop tape is handy for organising cables, bundling tools and attaching decorations or other materials. You can use it at home, in the office and in the workshop, and you cut it to the length you need.

Yes, the 20 mm wide strip can be used for clothing, bags and curtains. Choose white for light fabric and black for dark fabric. Don't know which length you need? Send a photo or your question via WhatsApp. Hook-and-loop tape is also handy for repairs or to fasten something temporarily.

For a sofa that is used daily, choose a tightly woven, hard-wearing fabric, such as chenille, a coarsely woven fabric or faux leather. Look at the Martindale value on the product page: the higher, the more hard-wearing. Velvet suits an armchair or headboard nicely. This way your sofa enjoys the fabric for years.

Most interior fabrics are about 140 to 145 cm wide; the exact width is on the product page. Measure the seat, back, armrests and sides separately and add a margin. Send us your measurements and we'll help you calculate. With a pattern, allow extra metres so the pattern lines up neatly.

MIXY, a coarsely woven fabric offered as pet-friendly, is a good choice. Faux leather such as Skai Primera and Montana is also scratch-resistant. The details are on the fabric's product page. This way your furniture stays beautiful, even with children and pets.

Faux leather has a smooth synthetic top layer that you can wipe clean easily, a woven fabric has a textile structure that feels warmer and softer. Choose faux leather for convenience, woven fabric for softness and atmosphere. A sample helps you feel the difference in real life.

Care depends on the type of fabric: vacuum woven fabrics and velvet regularly and wipe faux leather with a damp cloth. Dab stains immediately and test a product first on an inconspicuous spot. Our blogs give more tips per type of fabric. This way you keep your fabric beautiful for longer.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Request a sample via the Get a sample button on the product page, or come by our showroom in Antwerp to feel the fabric. This way you judge colour and texture before you order by the metre.

You insert the hook into the curtain tape or pleating tape and hook it into the ring or glider of the track or rod. This way the curtain hangs neatly and slides open and closed easily. Also place a hook at both ends of the curtain. After hanging, check that the curtain falls evenly.

The difference is the size of the hook: 55 or 75 mm. Both are adjustable and are supplied in packs of 10, so you can adjust the height of the curtain and have a made-to-measure curtain hang just to the floor or windowsill. See the product page for the exact dimensions.

As a guideline you place a hook every 8 to 10 cm, so for a curtain 2 metres wide that quickly comes to 20 to 25 hooks. With pleating tape you place one hook per pleat. The heavier the curtain, the closer together you place the hooks. This gives you an even drop.

No, they are hooks for curtains and hanging, not crochet hooks for crochet work. We have adjustable curtain hooks, metal duplo hooks (20 pieces) and metal insert hooks in large, small and a pack of 15 pieces. If you are looking for crochet hooks, ask us via WhatsApp. Each pack contains a fixed number of pieces, see the product name.

Combine them with 7.7 cm curtain tape, which we have available by the metre in an iron-on or sew-in version in the Vlieseline collection. That tape reinforces the top of the curtain and gives the hooks a firm place to hook into. If you don't have curtain tape yet, order it in the same order.

First look at which curtain tape and track or rod you have, then choose the hook that goes with it. If you're not sure, send us a photo or the dimensions via WhatsApp, or come by our showroom in Antwerp. We're happy to help. With your question, include the type of track or rod and the width of the curtain.

Your order is usually delivered within 1 to 2 working days. Quilted upholstery fabrics are an exception and take a little longer.

Look at the Martindale value on the product page: the higher, the more hard-wearing. The Dubai chenille reaches 100,000 and Figaro more than 100,000 Martindale. Lighter fabrics such as Fulya and Lamala are intended for intensive home use, but are less heavy-duty. If in doubt, ask which quality suits your use, for example a sofa that is used daily.

Choose a tightly woven, easy-to-clean fabric such as MIXY Grof Geweven, specially designed for households with children and pets. Loop structures such as bouclé are less practical, because nails can get caught in the loops. MIXY is also a chenille blend that feels warm and comfortable.

On average you need 1.5 to 2 metres for a dining chair without armrests, 6 to 8 metres for an armchair and 12 to 15 metres for a 2-seater sofa. With a pattern you need more. Send us a photo via WhatsApp and we'll help you calculate. These are guideline values for a plain fabric about 140 cm wide.

Most fabrics are about 140 cm wide. The Dubai chenille is 140 cm (at least 138 cm usable), Fulya and Lamala are 138 to 140 cm, Madrid, Sabona and Fancy Chenille at least 140 cm. Always check the exact width on the product page. Simply order the number of running metres you need; the fabric is supplied by the metre.

Not every fabric, but some are: GABO Grof Geweven and Sahara are water-repellent and MIXY is easy to clean. Vacuum regularly, dab stains immediately with a clean cloth and test a cleaning product first on an offcut. Check the product page for the specific properties of your fabric.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Open the product page of the fabric and click 'Get a sample'; this way you judge colour and texture at home next to your furniture. You'll see right away whether the texture and colour suit your interior.

Quilted faux leather has a stitched pattern with a padding layer underneath, regular faux leather is flat. This makes quilted feel softer and look more luxurious, while the diamond pattern also improves seating comfort. Both can be ordered by the metre, so you choose how much you need.

The Bronco faux leather in this collection has a diamond pattern of 5 x 5 cm and is 140 cm wide. It is available in several colours, which you can find on the product page. If you want to feel the texture first, request a sample.

Yes, from 15 metres we can make the diamond pattern on almost any fabric. If your colour isn't among them, contact us via WhatsApp or the contact form and we'll see what is possible. This way you get the look of quilted fabric in the colour that suits your interior.

Measure each part of your furniture separately and add a margin for seams and turn-under. With a diamond pattern it is best to take a bit of extra fabric, so the pattern lines up neatly. Our blog on how much fabric you need will help you further, or send your measurements via WhatsApp. For seat cushions and back cushions, calculate each cushion separately.

Wipe quilted faux leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a little mild soap, and then dry it. Don't use abrasives or strong solvents. Dirt can remain in the stitched seams, so work carefully there with a soft brush. For a specific fabric, always read the care advice on the product page.

Yes. Private customers receive free samples and only pay the postage (shipping costs). Request a sample via the Get a sample button on the product page, or come by our showroom in Antwerp to feel the fabric. This way you judge colour and texture before you order by the metre.

MIXY Grof Geweven is made especially for families with pets and children and is easy to clean. GABO is water-repellent and recycled. With cats, preferably don't choose a loop fabric such as bouclé, because claws can get caught in it. If in doubt, ask for advice via WhatsApp.

Most mélange upholstery fabrics are 138 to 140 cm wide, for example Fulya, Lamala, Sabona and Madrid. For a dining chair you often need 1 metre, for a sofa quickly several metres. This is a guideline: measure your furniture or send us a photo via WhatsApp.

Chenille is soft and has a velvety feel, bouclé has a loop structure and linen-look is woven with the appearance of linen. Examples: Chenille plain, Bouclé Chenille and Fulya, Sabona or Figaro in linen-look. Each fabric has its own look and feel. See the product page for the details of each fabric.

For daily sitting, at least 25,000 to 30,000 cycles is a common lower limit as a guideline. Fulya and Lamala reach 35,000, Madrid 45,000 to 55,000, the bouclé chenille fabrics more than 80,000 and GABO more than 100,000. Madrid and Sabona are also suitable for contract use.

Vacuum regularly with a soft brush and dab stains carefully with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning product. Don't rub, because that pushes dirt deeper into the fabric. Always check the care information on the product page. Don't use aggressive products.

You use fiberfill as a soft top layer over foam, which makes the foam fuller and gives it rounder shapes. It gives your upholstery a softer look and a nicer transition to the upholstery fabric on seat cushions, back cushions, sofas and headboards. It is also known as batting or wadding.

There is no difference: fiberfill, dacron, wattine and volume fleece are names for the same soft filling fleece. In our shop the product is called Fiberfill / Dacron / wattine. You can read more in our blog about dacron in upholstery and wall covering. You order it by the metre or by the roll, depending on the size of your project.

You use underlining cloth to finish the underside of a sofa, chair or cushion. Fibertex is 150 cm wide and handy for non-reversible cushions, where you don't want to use expensive upholstery fabric on the underside. PP spunbond is a black non-woven underlining cloth of 70 g/m². Check the width of the chosen item on the product page before you order.

Anti-slip cloth prevents cushions, sofa sets and materials from shifting. We have an anti-slip mat 60 cm wide and Fibertex Anti Slip 160 cm wide, both by the running metre. This keeps your furniture in place and stops the filling or cushion from sliding away.

You determine the amount based on the dimensions of your cushion or seat and the width of the cloth. You order by the metre, so you choose exactly the length you need. Send your measurements or a photo via WhatsApp and we will help you calculate. It is better to allow a little extra, so you can fold the cloth over and fix it properly.

Yes, fiberfill and PP spunbond are also available by the roll; the spunbond roll is 250 metres long. The other items are ordered by the metre. Handy for larger projects or if you upholster regularly. The exact roll width and length are shown on the product page.

Chenille is soft and velvety thanks to a caterpillar-like yarn, while bouclé is made up of small loops and has a grainy, woolly texture. WAVE, URBAN, NECTAR and VERZACE combine both: bouclé chenille with a pattern. This makes it easier to choose which look suits your furniture.

Very hard-wearing. The Dubai chenille reaches 100,000 Martindale and the bouclé chenille fabrics WAVE, URBAN, NECTAR and VERZACE more than 80,000. That is suitable for intensive use, both private and in commercial projects. Colour choice and pattern then mainly determine the look of your furniture.

Preferably choose a tightly woven chenille, such as the Dubai collection. With loop structures such as bouclé, claws can snag on the loops. Not sure? Ask us for advice via WhatsApp. A tightly woven fabric is also less prone to snags.

All fabrics are 140 cm wide, with at least 138 cm usable in the Dubai collection. The Dubai chenille weighs 600 g/m² and comes on rolls of 40 to 50 metres, the bouclé chenille weighs 480 g/m². Just order the number of metres you need. According to the product information, the Dubai chenille is also suitable for curtains, cushions and bedding.

On average you need 6 to 8 metres for an armchair and 12 to 15 metres for a 2-seater sofa. With a pattern such as WAVE or VERZACE you need more if the motif has to match. Send your measurements via WhatsApp for a calculation. These are guideline values for a fabric 140 cm wide.

Bouclé is made up of small loops and has a grainy, woolly texture, while chenille is soft and velvety thanks to a caterpillar-like yarn. Bouclé chenille, such as WAVE, URBAN, NECTAR and VERZACE, combines both in one fabric.

On average you need 1.5 to 2 metres for a dining chair without armrests, 6 to 8 metres for an armchair and 12 to 15 metres for a 2-seater sofa. Not sure? Send a photo or your measurements via WhatsApp and we'll work it out with you. The bouclé fabrics are 140 cm wide, so use that width if you want to match a pattern.

Yes, choose a quality with a high Martindale value. The bouclé chenille fabrics WAVE, URBAN, NECTAR and VERZACE reach more than 80,000 Martindale, the Dubai chenille 100,000. That is suitable for intensive use, including in commercial projects. Bouclé Teddy (100% recycled polyester) is also intended for upholstering furniture.

It's possible: claws can snag on the loops of bouclé. If you have a cat or a dog that scratches, it's better to choose a tightly woven chenille, such as the Dubai collection. Not sure? Ask us for advice via WhatsApp. This applies to all loop structures, not just our collection.

Vacuum bouclé regularly with a soft attachment and blot spilled liquid immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Don't rub, as that spreads the stain. Always test a cleaning product on a scrap first. For stubborn stains, use a professional upholstery cleaner.

PZ (Pozidriv) is a cross head, TX (Torx) has a six-point star profile. The bit must match your screw head exactly, otherwise it slips and damages the head. We have bits from PZ-1 to PZ-3 and from TX-10 to TX-40. If the type isn't listed with your screws, check the product page or send a photo via WhatsApp.

Each TX size has its own colour band: TX-10 pink, TX-15 red, TX-20 green, TX-25 orange, TX-30 blue and TX-40 purple. This lets you recognise the size straight away and swap bits quickly. The PZ bits come in PZ-1, PZ-2 and PZ-3 in grey. The colour is also on the label of the box.

Choose 50 mm if the screw is deeper or in a hard-to-reach spot, and 25 mm for normal, compact screwing work. The 50 mm bits come in TX-10 to TX-40, the 25 mm bits in TX and PZ. If in doubt, we're happy to help via WhatsApp.

A bit holder clamps the bit in your drill or screwdriver, so you can swap bits easily. We have a magnetic bit holder with inner ring (1/4 x 60 mm) and an adjustable magnetic bit holder with extra strong ring magnet (1/4 x 68 mm), both made of steel. Both are suitable for bits with a 1/4 inch hex shank.

With an adjustable bit holder you set yourself how deep a screw sinks in, for example when screwing plasterboard. The magnet holds the bit firmly in place and the bit can be swapped with one hand. We have an adjustable magnetic bit holder of 1/4 x 68 mm. This keeps the bit firmly in place while screwing.

The Dynaplus bits are made of S2 alloy tool steel and have a slightly tapered shape for a stable fit and more grip. They come in a resealable storage blister. The PZ bits are supplied in packs of 10, the quantity for the other bits is on the product page.

Piping, also called welting, is a narrow finish along the seams of upholstered furniture. You sew the braided piping cord into a strip of fabric. Basting cord is a cord on a reel that, according to the product description, is used to mark fabric or patterns and to hold temporary seams in place. Check the product page for the exact use.

We have the braided cotton piping cord in 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm. Choose thin for a subtle seam and thicker for a clear edge. Not sure? Send us a photo or ask via WhatsApp and we'll advise you. You order it by the metre, so you choose the length yourself.

You sew the piping cord into a strip of fabric, so the cord sits inside a fabric tube. You then sew that tube into the seam of your cushion or furniture. A zipper or piping foot for your sewing machine makes this easier. Use a sturdy needle and thread that matches the fabric.

Measure the length of all the seams you want to finish with piping and add a little extra for corners and overlap. You order the piping cord by the metre, so you buy exactly the length you need. Not sure? Ask for our advice. The cord is white, the fabric determines the colour of your piping.

The basting cord is supplied on a 500 gram reel. You'll find more details about its use on the product page. If you're not sure whether that's enough for your project, contact us and we'll think it through with you. It is a separate product, so you choose it separately from the piping cord.

Yes. Send a photo and your question via WhatsApp or contact us, and we'll help you choose. You can also drop by our showroom in Antwerp to see the materials and get advice.
