Avlea Trim No. 014 - Greek Braid metallic trim

This beautifully intricate metallic trim comes from a small Greek mill and is a favorite finishing seen in many vintage Greek folk textiles. A classic braid trim that is great for applications in which you do not want a header. It can be hand or machine sewn. The antique gold is a classic color favored in folk embroidery and provides an elegant glow to natural fibers! Width: 19mm (3/4") Fiber: 62% polyester/38% nylon filament Color: Antique Gold Origin: Greece How to Use It To embellish an embroidery, I recommend hand sewing trims after the embroidery is completely finished. Use small stitches and a lightweight sewing thread like Aurifil 50. Press to set after sewing.  Sold By Sold by the yard (if you order multiple yards, I will make it a continuous cut) Care Dry clean or hand wash only The trims in my collection come from small mills in Greece where trims and laces have been made the same way for generations (some on machines that are almost 100 years old). I choose each one because it works with the folk embroidery traditions that inspire my patterns and because it holds up to daily use. New trims are added as I find them.
