Sewing Notes

Needlecord is stable and beginner-friendly, with a gentle drape.

• Cut all pieces in the same nap direction
• Use a sharp needle (80/12 or 90/14)
• Press lightly on the reverse to avoid flattening the pile
• Finish seams to prevent fraying

It’s a fantastic fabric for sewists who want to create cosy, everyday pieces with a professional finish.
