Description
Ric rac never runs straight; it travels in even waves, which makes an edge look livelier than any flat tape could. This one measures 15 mm across, printed over white as small stars. Light blue stays restrained over a white ground, reading fresh rather than loud.
Stitch it down through its middle, leaving points visible either side, or tuck it far enough under a hem that only its wave tips show. Both need just one straight seam. Polyester barely shrinks in a wash, so your braid stays exactly as long as it was when stitched.
It looks best over summer clothes or baby items, next to denim blue plus natural shades. Washable at 40 degrees, so it can stay over children's clothing as well as bed linen.
What Ric Rac Braid 15 mm white with light blue Stars is suitable for
- Hems over children's clothing, because those waves mark an edge while adding almost no bulk.
- Cushions, curtains or fabric baskets, since ric rac brings structure to any straight edge at once.
- Bags plus pouches, because 15 mm reads clearly yet stays narrow enough over small pieces.
- Gift wrapping or decoration — even unsewn, simply wrapped around paper, glass, string.

Frequently asked questions
How should I stitch this braid down?
One straight seam through its middle. If you want only its points showing, tuck your braid under a hem, then edgestitch. Hold it by clips first, so those waves never shift under your foot.
Will cut ends fray?
Hardly, because its edge stays tightly woven along every point. To be safe, cut through a wave trough, then fold that end back briefly — it vanishes underneath your seam anyway.
Does it shrink when washed?
Polyester absorbs almost no water, so it will not draw up. Pre-washing is unnecessary here, unlike braid made from cotton or viscose. Only your temperature wants keeping at 40 degrees.
How much should I order?
A cushion border wants its four edge lengths plus a little extra at every corner. Allow more around curves, where braid lies slightly stretched. Orders start from 0.2 metres.
