🧵 The Lace

The Bobbin Lace Edging 1275 is a decorative ribbon of Italian production designed for those looking for professional-quality bobbin lace with a constant height of 17mm. Available in two variants — mercerized cotton for a natural, matte effect, and Lurex for a brilliant, precious touch — this lace adapts to traditional and modern projects, from home linens to handmade accessories.

Sold by the linear meter, it allows you to purchase exactly the amount needed without waste. The picot (pointed) structure ensures defined edges and stable craftsmanship, ideal for application on delicate fabrics such as linen, cotton, and silk blends. Perfect for those who work with bobbin lace or are looking for an elegant finish for cushions, tablecloths, trousseaus, and party favors.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The colored variant is made of 100% mercerized cotton, a process that gives the thread a natural shine, greater resistance to wear, and superior color fastness over time. Mercerized cotton maintains the softness typical of natural fiber but acquires a smoother and more compact surface, ideal for trimmings that need to last and maintain their original appearance even after numerous washes. This variant is perfect for home linens, traditional trousseaus, and projects that require a sober and refined effect.

The Lurex variant combines 60% polyester and 40% polyamide, creating a yarn with metallic reflections that catch the light without weighing down the fabric. Polyester ensures dimensional stability and wrinkle resistance, while polyamide adds elasticity and softness to the touch. This composition is ideal for decorations on ceremonial dresses, fashion accessories, and creative projects where you want a luminous and contemporary effect without sacrificing practicality.

📦 Format and usage yield

The 17mm height is a versatile measure, neither too thin nor too conspicuous, perfect for finishing cushions, tablecloths, sheets, and accessories. With 1 meter, you can completely trim a 40x40cm cushion, while for a small tablecloth (120x160cm), about 2-3 meters are needed depending on the perimeter. For larger projects such as complete trousseaus or curtains, calculate the perimeter of the fabric and add 10% for any seams and finishing touches.

Selling by the linear meter allows you to purchase the exact quantity required for your project. If you are working on multiple pieces of the same color, we recommend purchasing all the material in one go to avoid differences between dye lots, which are particularly visible in intense colors and Lurex.

🧶 Application and workmanship

The Bobbin Lace Edging 1275 is easily applied both by hand and with a sewing machine. For hand application, use a cotton thread of the same color as the lace and a hidden stitch along the inner edge of the ribbon. For machine application, set a straight stitch or a narrow zigzag (1-1.5mm width) and sew along both edges for optimal hold. The picot structure allows you to follow curves and corners without creating excessive creases or tension.

For those who do traditional bobbin lace, this ribbon can be used as a decorative element to be integrated into designs or as a final edge to border lace made with bobbins. The cotton variant lends itself particularly well to projects that require subsequent dyeing or customization with natural colors.

✨ Why choose the Bobbin Lace Edging 1275

Unlike generic lace sold in 10 or 20-meter rolls, the Bobbin Lace Edging 1275 is purchased by the meter, allowing you to buy only what you need without wasting material or budget. The constant 17mm height ensures uniformity across the entire project, a fundamental detail for professional work where even a few millimeters of difference are noticeable. The two variants — cotton and Lurex — allow you to choose the aesthetic effect best suited to your project without having to look for different suppliers.

Italian production guarantees high-quality standards: defined edges without fraying, uniform dyeing, and higher tensile strength compared to imported lace. If you work on commission or sell handmade creations, this level of quality translates into more durable finished products and more satisfied customers.

🎨 What you can create

The Bobbin Lace Edging 1275 is ideal for finishing home linens such as tablecloths, runners, cushions, and sheets, but also for decorations on garments (hems, necklines, cuffs), fashion accessories (bags, clutches, headbands), party favors and gift wrapping, traditional trousseaus, and traditional bobbin lace projects where you need a decorative element to integrate into bobbin designs.

👩‍🎨 Who it is for

This lace is suitable both for beginners looking for material that is easy to apply with professional results, and for experienced seamstresses and artisans who work on commission and need reliable supplies with consistent quality standards. The picot structure is forgiving of small sewing errors and adapts well to fabrics of different weights.

Those who purchase this product typically work on artisan trousseaus, personalized party favors, textile restoration, or handmade creations for sale. The ability to purchase by the meter also makes it ideal for those who want to test the material before ordering larger quantities for bigger projects.
