Top TrimmingSoft Polyester Horsehair Braid, Sold per Roll 22 Yards (3" inch Wide) (White)

Order this for my bride to put on the outside layer of hem. It is soft and the width is just perfect. I am so glad that I do not have spend tones of money for this. Love the quality.

Overall this product worked for my project. Of the 42 yards I used 21. I came across one large snag in that length that I had to work around. Aside from that there is no gather string on this horsehair but I found that pinning it in place and giving it a good press and steam had it laying along the curve of my skirt well enough for top stitching. If you are finishing by hand it's even less of an issue. Overall good value for the price.

It arrived quickly which I appreciated however when sewing a basting stitch to the top edge I noticed at the beginning of the yardage a damaged portion of the braid but it was at the beginning so I cut that part off. The problem came about 2/3 of the way through there is about 6 inches of damaged (stretched out) portion of the braid that I have not been able to get to relax back into shape. It seems that it was stored for a long time stretched out. I really needed almost the entire yardage for my project so I am a little put out that I may need to buy more when what I bought should have been enough to complete the project. Other than that it is doing what I wanted it to do to make the skirt hemline have more body and lift.

Love how fast this product arrives, however, it often has damaged or short sections (not all one piece) which is frustrating. I've also noticed it is not 30 yards (unless you stretch it). After several rolls I would say it averages 22-25 yards so be sure to get extra and don't cut your project too close.It is great to have a prime option and this one being soft, without the thread, is exactly what I was looking for. I just wish the lengths and quality would be improved.

Since I’m a seamstress, I use horsehair braid in the garments that require it. For instance, a full circle shirt will flounce or stand out more if it had horsehair braid in it. I had been trying to find a 3 inch braid, but was only finding 2 in. Thanks Amazon for helping with my situation. It’s most definitely appreciated. Thank you again.

Good stuff. I always wish the crin I purchased through Amazon were much stiffer but it serves it purpose.

The horse hair braid is good. I did think it was going to be stiffer, but it did the job well enough and was easier to sew than a very stiff horsehair. It came really quickly.

We were looking for deeper waves for her tale but it worked pretty good anyway.
