Processing tips

Use a piping foot on your sewing machine for best results. Pin the binding around the fabric and work in short, even stitches. For sharp corners, cut the fabric and trim slightly so that the core follows neatly around the corner. Finish with stretch or straight stitches and use quality sewing thread such as Gütermann extra strong sewing thread for optimal durability.

Maintenance and lifespan

For maintenance, wipe the piping clean with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratches. Allow the piping to dry in the shade to minimize deformation and discoloration. Roll up unused meters and store in a cool, dry place for long-term usability.
