Finishing Materials & Other Options

Cording options

Self Cording / Piping

Also known as welting, this trim is a length of woven cotton cord that is sheathed in fabric. We can custom create self-cord in any of the fabrics that we stock. It can be the same fabric you selected for the backing of your project or we can use a contrasting color. Self Cord is not recommended for small items such as stuffed ornaments or soft stand ups.
Custom Cording

All custom cording is hand twisted by our finishers. Threads are pulled from the shop to match a rainbow of canvas colors. If you have any skeins that you have not cut, you can include them with your project if you'd like us to use them for twisted cording.

Stuffing Options

-Polyfill is a soft polyester fiber that is ideal for pillows. Pillows can be filled to your specifications - let us know if you prefer an under-stuffed or over-stuffed look.

-Down inserts are special ordered to fit the dimensions of your project for a snug fit. They contain 90/10 down (90% down and 10% feather). The cost of the insert will vary, depending on the overall size of your project.

Fabrics

We offer several fabric options that can be used to complete your needlework finishing projects. All fabrics are included in the cost of the finishing, except for Silk Dupioni which can be added for an additional charge.

Cotton Twill

Our Cotton Twill is a 100% cotton, medium weight fabric similar to a light pair of jeans. It is colorfast and easy to spot-treat using typical household methods.

Velvet

Our velvets are lush and oh-so-soft. Most are 100% cotton, medium weight fabric suitable for a variety of projects from pillows to upholstery projects. A few of the brighter colors are poly or cotton/poly blends. They are colorfast and easy to spot-treat using typical household methods.

Silk Dupioni

Dupioni Silk is a hand woven fabric that we line with a poly/cotton interfacing to enhance durability. This delicate fabric comes in multi-dimensional colors that shift in the light. Many of the colors are not colorfast and are prone to bleeding if they become significantly wet. It is suitable for use as a backing or exterior fabric, but it is also a popular choice as a lining fabric for handbags and holiday stockings. Please note: we do not recommend incorporating silk into projects with leather components. For example, if you are creating a leather purse, we do not recommend 100% silk lining. Similarly, if you are ordering a pillow that will sit on a leather couch, we do not recommend silk backing. Please note that there is an upcharge for adding silk dupioni to your project. See the finishing pricing pdf for more information.
