What Are Name Tags?

A name tag is a trim that is commonly used in clothing. The tag usually contains the name of the clothing's owner - this ensures that the clothing does not get misplaced or lost.

Of course, this type of ribbon is available in other materials as well, so customers can easily find a trim that matches their project.

What Is Twill Tape?

Twill tape is a flat twill-woven ribbon. The ribbon can be made from a variety of fibres - this includes cotton, linen, polyester, and wool. Twill tape is commonly used to reinforce seams in sewing projects, but also for the creation of casings, binding edges, and closing garments.

What Is a Band Trim?

Band trims are commonly used in the creation of lightweight curtains. The trim is used to finish the edges of the curtain - this ensures the curtain has a clean and even finish - this instead of a ruffle finish that could occur after cutting fabric.

What Is a Lace Trim?

Lace trims are special open-fabric trims. They are characterised by ornamental patterns, which enables crafters to use it as an extra dimension on sewing projects. Lace trims have been around for a long time, since lace trims can be traced back to 15^th and 16^th century Europe.

What Is a Chain Trim?

Chain trims can be made from fabrics, but also from other materials such as plastic, metal, wood, rhinestone, and pearls. Depending on your crafting project, you can select the material that matches your project best. Naturally, chain trims are commonly used to put an accent on apparel and other sewing projects.

What Is a Venice Lace Trim?

A Venice lace trim is a special type of needle lace - this type of lace was first created in 17^th century Italy. Venice lace trims are commonly used as a detail on wedding dresses, but they are also used in the creation of theatre costumes - this because of their dramatic weight and extraordinary design.

What Is a Butterfly Pleat Trim?

Butterfly pleat trims have obtained their name because of their overall look, since the trim resembles a series of connected butterflies. The butterfly pleat trim is commonly used in curtains, but it could be used for sofa covers and chair covers too.

What Is a Ruffle Trim?

Ruffle trims are quite like butterfly pleat trims, since they are also used for the creation of eyelet curtains and furnishing coverings. Their look is quite similar too, although the ruffle trim is a little more dramatic than the butterfly pleat trim.

What Is a Braids Trim?

Braid trimming is quite a common occurrence in haberdashery projects. The braid trim is characterised by a braid pattern.
