2-yards Petite Braid Trim with Elastic Button Loop for Costume, Crafts and Sewing, TR-12155 (Black)

This button loop looks good and works fine except when you want to cut it. I was using a small segment and had great difficulty in keeping it from fraying and falling apart where it was cut. I tried hand sewing through the end to try to secure it, but that was very difficult to do and not practical. I wished I had had some "Fray check" to seal the end. That might have worked. In desperation you might be able to seal it with clear nail polish. If you were enclosing the end of the button loop in a seam of a dress you were sewing, that would safely seal it, but I was adding it to a wedding dress by hand to provide a pick up for the train.

I am using this to attach half of a zipper to a bird cage. I will then zip the cover to the zipper. It was fairly easy to attach to the fabric area of the zipper. Occasionally the sewing machine needle would catch one of the loops and pull them through, but overall I am pleased with the result. I was using a heavy duty needle. if you were using a more typical, lighter weight fabric and a thinner, sharper needle I suspect it would not pull through the loops.

Used this to sew satin buttons on my daughters wedding dress!

I needed something to work like eyelets for lacing, and this worked great. Very stretchy, so would not be good for something that exerts a lot of pressure.

Item was perfect, just want I wamted.

The measurements were perfect to repair a wedding dress.

Exactly as described. Wish it would have been in one piece

Purchased white and black trim. This was great and I will buy again. Product shipped fairly quickly. Will buy more products from seller.
