PIPING AND CORDING INFORMATION
The piping strips that are listed in the cutting chart are 1⅛” wide. This width is perfect for a 1.8mm piping cord and leaves the required ⅜” for the seam allowance. Depending on how thick your vinyl, cork, or leather is, OR if you are using a different size cording, you may need to cut your piping strips a little wider to allow for the extra bulk. To determine the cut width, take a scrap piece of the piping you want to use and wrap it around the cording, allow for the ⅜” SA on both sides, mark and measure to get the width. When using vinyl, fabric, or cork the piping strips will need to be cut on a 45-degree bias and you will need a piece that measures 20” x 25”.
