An absolute Favorite from My Sewing Stash! This Ready to Sew Mini-Piping, is commercially made and uses the same tiny, tiny piping cord that I use for my self-piping. For times when you want a solid color for your mini-piping, this is a great time saver that is made from a very nice quality broadcloth fabric. Although I have found that this piping works very nicely with 100% cotton prints and solids, it is a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton.
This beautiful piping is over-all about 5/8 of an inch wide, with the piped portion being just under 1/8 inch in width. It is available in 5 different TAN and BROWN HUES (Additional color groups are also listed on my site).
The next to the last picture shows the colors by name and number. Please note that every computer screen shows colors differently...I hope that yours is accurate, but of course that is something I have no control over. Likewise, as a sewer, I'm sure you realize that none of us have control over slight differences in dye lots of fabric.
For those who would like an additional way to see the approximate colors, I have matched each color of piping to the closest color of "Popular Six Strand Embroidery Floss". They are listed below in parenthesis after each color. If the piping color is in between two of the floss colors, both numbers will be indicated. I'm hoping you have a stitching, sewing, or craft store nearby that will have these colors of floss in stock to look at. (Or you might already have them, or a sample card of their colors, in your sewing room).
519 Rice (3865)
520 Natural Ecru (746)
556 Khaki (3032)
592 British Tan (3782)
577 Brown (838)
521 Quarry Tan (712)
A new color in this grouping is now available. It is called Quarry Tan and is darker than Rice and lighter than British Tan. A really pretty color...no yellow or greenish cast; a true light tan.
Each package contains 3 yards of piping.
Please Note: There are a few colors shown on the color-card that are not available in Mini-Piping; as they become available, they will be added. The last picture shows items that have been made previously, using this lovely product; They are not available for sale.
Mini-Piping Packs will be shipped USPS First Class Mail in a Bubble-Mailer. Several packages of piping and/or piping cord will fit in one padded envelope and ship for just a little higher cost.
Clients who are used to purchasing just one package of Mini-Piping at a time, for the project they are currently working on, may notice that the price of a package has recently gone up a little bit. But, NO WORRIES...the price of shipping has been reduced to make up the difference. You will find that your total cost is exactly as it was before.
The Post Office will not allow a package of piping to be mailed in a regular envelope...sorry.
