What the AI looks for in Sewing Rick Rack
- Size
- Choose from baby or mini for doll clothes and fine edges, medium for general trim, and jumbo for bold borders. Rick rack is sold in these size tiers, and the scale changes the look a great deal.
- Fiber
- Polyester is stable and colorfast. Cotton has a vintage look but should be prewashed. Cotton rick rack shrinks and can ripple after washing.
- Stitching placement
- Sew straight down the center line, or insert it into a seam so only half the points show. Stitching off-center lets the points curl and flip.
Brands that matter
- Wrights: The default rick rack source in most color ranges.
What to avoid
- Unwashed cotton rick rack sewn onto prewashed fabric
