Rick rack is a decorative zigzag trim, and this is the jumbo width in Yale blue, measuring 5/8 inch wide with 2.5 yards per length. It is made from 100% polyester. The wider zigzag 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 bag panel where a narrower trim would disappear. The points are non-curl, meaning they lie flat rather than lifting and rolling at the peaks once stitched or washed.
The trim can be fused, glued or sewn in place, so it suits 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. Yale blue is a deep, slightly muted navy-leaning blue, which gives it more range than a bright primary: it works on nautical and patriotic projects, school and team makes, and menswear-style sewing, and it holds a clean line against white, cream and light grounds. It is machine washable and colorfast as supplied by the manufacturer. This listing is for the trim only; no fabric, thread, adhesive or notions are included.
