Chainette and French Twist Fringe

The chainette fringe you buy in fabric stores is thin,  generally what they call "2-end".   Mine is "4-end" which is twice as thick.    Considerable savings for twice the quality!

Top:  6" Off-White Rayon "French Twist" $15 per yard (supply limited)

Bottom:  Four-End (double thick)  6" Off-White Rayon Chainette Fringe $12 per yard

 4" Off-White Rayon Chainette Fringe  $8 per yard 

3" Off-White Rayon Chainette Fringe $6 per yard 

Note:  I personally prefer the 4-end Rayon Chainette.  The "French Twist" will eventually look like a "Bad-Hair Day"!   Both take dye beautifully.    Before dyeing, be sure to remove center row of stitching, or you'll end up with a streak through the center of your fringe.  Leave the bottom row of stitching in place until after it is dyed and applied to your lampshade, then trim it off.  If you prefer the looks of a tiny streak close to the bottom, you can just pull out the bottom stitching.  This streak is caused by the fact that the manufacturers use Polyester thread in the stitching, and Polyester does not accept the dye.

3/8"  Pink Satin Ribbon (not shown)   .15 yard (for making your own satin ribbons for center of rosettes) 

GLASS 'SUGAR BEADS'  $3.00 per Cup  (Average sugar shade takes approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup)  Because of weight, postage is $4.25 per cup to ship these!)  Least expensive is to include these when shipping oversized boxes of frames, as UPS and the Post Office will charge as if the box were 30 or 70 pounds anyway.

Frame Wrapping:

TWILL TAPE, 100% Cotton, 3/4"  40 cents/yard

HUG SNUG 100% Rayon Seam Binding,  White, Off-White, Ivory - $18 per 100/yard roll.  (other colors available... call to check inventory)

Dyeable trims shown below are rayon/cotton trims (except item #7 shown below is acetate and doesn't dye well).   Those of you who have bought trims at your local fabric store know this stuff is expensive!  These are the lowest prices you'll find unless you want to buy a ton of it from a manufacturer!   No quantity discounts.   New items coming in weekly - come back again if you don't see what you're looking for.  Sooner or later we're bound to have it!   Hannah  

Below:  These are not necessarily the colors in stock.   They're just for samples showing styles.  Most in stock is off-white so you can dye it as you wish.
