Twisted cords are made by twisting several strands together. That gives the surface its characteristic spiral structure, which catches light differently from a smoothly braided cord.
Take care when cutting: a twisted cord unwinds at the open end immediately. Wrap the spot with tape before cutting and secure the end straight afterwards.
End caps, a firm knot or, with synthetic fibre, a brief touch of flame will secure it. Without securing, the twist gradually unravels along the whole length.
In upholstery this size is often used as an edge finish. It disguises seams, emphasises contours and gives a piece of furniture a visible line.
Frequently asked questions
How do I attach such a thick cord?
By hand with strong thread, or as an insert in a seam when a fabric strip is wrapped around it. Feeding this size directly through a machine is hardly possible.
Is it suitable for upholstery?
Yes, that is one of its main uses. As an edge finish it disguises seams and emphasises the contour of the furniture, much like a wide piping.
How do I cut it cleanly?
Wrap the spot generously with tape before cutting and cut through the middle. A safeguard then remains at both ends until you fix them permanently.
