Not for: Anyone needing a trim that survives regular machine washing.
What the AI looks for in Sewing Sequin Trim
- Stretch vs rigid
- Use elastic-backed stretch sequin trim on knits and dancewear, and rigid strings on woven fabric. Rigid sequin trim on stretch fabric breaks its threads or pops off.
- Securing cut ends
- Knot or seal the stitching at every cut before sewing on. Chain-stitched sequin strings unravel from a cut end.
- Sequin size and profile
- Sequins are sized in millimeters. Flat sequins give a smooth band, and cup sequins give more sparkle. The size and profile determine scale and light reflection.
- Finish durability
- Assume metallic and holographic coatings need gentle washing or dry cleaning unless stated otherwise. Coatings can rub off or dull.
Brands that matter
- Expo International: Sequin, beaded and embellished trims.
What to avoid
- Cutting sequin strings without securing the ends
- Ironing directly on sequins
