Dear Netfah,

I have a rather plain olive colored Euro sham and comforter that I want to revitalize and use in our guest room. I saw some really pretty cording trims and wanted to know if the ones with the lip are more appropriate for application around the seams on the bedding or the cording withOUT the lip?

Dear To Lip or Not To Lip,

The great thing about trims is that with a little creativity and ingenuity, they can turn outdated and out of fashion furnishing, garments and accessories into modern works of art.
