When to choose 3 mm?
Thin cord works best with light, supple fabrics: a cushion cover, a throw with a bound edge, a small decorative cushion or a garment. It gives you a subtle line that finishes the design without stealing the show.
How to work with it
Lay the cord inside a strip of fabric, stitch close alongside it with a zipper or piping foot, then sew the filled strip between two layers. Work out the perimeter and add a little extra for the overlap. A full roll holds 800 metres.
More sizes and cords are in piping and cord; for buttoned upholstery, see the upholstery buttons and the upholstery supplies page. Order online at Bladi.
