I love using trims on my projects. They make the projects look finished and add to the design.
My Challenge when sewing trims is when so use small trims to put on a seam. Did not know to use the basing tap in the eighth inch size to hold the trim. It is a wonderful idea. That way it is not crooked after sewing. Thank you Cinnamon for the awesome giveaway.😘❤️💋
My biggest challenge is finding trims that are small enough scale.
My biggest challenge is finding small trims in different colors like I did years ago especially soutache and middy braids.
My biggest challenge with tiny trims is finding the right size, color, and style for my projects.
