WeAllSew Tutorial: How to Sew on Rick Rack Trim

My additional tip is, I use Roxanne's Glue-Baste-It to hold my rickrack in place--it's especially handy with the really narrow stuff. You need to be patient, though! I run a tiny bead of glue either along the back of the rickrack or on the fabric itself. Then I carefully place the rickrack; I "stab-pin" the whole thing to my ironing board cover/pad (pins are vertical) to hold it in place until it dries. You MUST let the glue dry before you move the garment and put the next section of rickrack in place; by using a tiny bead of glue, it does dry fairly fast (a dry iron can help speed it along).
Once all the rickrack is secured with glue, you can take it to your machine and stitch it in place. This works especially well for rickrack that totally sits on top of the garment. I've done many doll clothing items with rickrack trim done this way.
Also, watch in Front of your presser foot, not your needle!
