Rick rack is a decorative zigzag trim, and this is the jumbo width in metallic gold, measuring 5/8 inch wide with 2.5 yards per length. It is made from 100% polyester. The wider zigzag makes it a trim that carries at a distance rather than acting as a fine detail, so it holds its own along a quilt border, a curtain hem or a costume edge where a narrower rick rack would disappear. The points are non-curl, meaning they lie flat instead of lifting and rolling at the peaks once stitched or washed.
The trim can be fused, glued or sewn in place, so it works for sewing and non-sewing projects alike. That flexibility is why rick rack turns up on clothing, table linens, tote bags, home decor, scrapbook pages, cards and gift wrap. A bright metallic gold gives a stronger sheen than an antique finish, which suits Christmas projects, party decor and anything meant to catch light. It is machine washable and colorfast as supplied by the manufacturer, so finished garments and linens can be laundered normally. This listing is for the trim only; no fabric, thread, adhesive or notions are included.
