Custom Lace Ribbon
We develop cotton, nylon and polyester lace ribbon. Motif size, sewing margin and a straight or scalloped border determine how much pattern shows on a garment or invitation.
Lace Yarns, Motif and Sewing Edge
- Cotton, nylon and polyester are yarn options for open decorative trim.
- A denser motif outlines the pattern, while an open repeat shows more of the material behind the lace.
- An attachment margin provides yarn for stitching along the garment seam.
- A scalloped border follows the motif. A straighter edge gives a more uniform line beside a card.
- Lace can run along a hem or come in cuts that retain complete motifs.
Lace Along Fabric, Stationery and Gift Wraps
We can customize the repeat and the strip around it. A narrow edge can stay dense enough for sewing while the motif opens into scallops beyond the seam.
Scalloped trim
A scallop can trace the end of a floral motif or repeat as a simpler curve along a garment edge.
Sewing margins
The straight inner margin provides room for stitching, separate from the full width to the scallop tip.
Bridal lace lengths
Trim can run along a garment or come in cuts with a specified number of complete motifs.
Matte cotton
Cotton yarn lends a softer, less reflective look to a patterned lace edge.
Repeating motifs
A flower, curve or geometric unit can repeat down a continuous trim.
Cut sections
A length can be specified around complete motifs for individual garments or presentation pieces.
Lace Ribbon by Fiber
Cotton, nylon or polyester yarn can form both the solid outlines and open ground of lace.
Photos show style references; fiber composition is confirmed with your sample.
Cotton, Nylon and Polyester Lace
Yarn and motif can vary. Cotton offers a matte finish. Nylon or polyester can also form an open repeat with a straight sewing edge or scallop.
-
Lace Ribbon
A design can combine a straight sewing margin, open repeat and scalloped edge. Cuts can start and end at selected points in the repeat. -
Cotton Lace Ribbon
Cotton yarn lends a relatively matte finish to an open border. -
Nylon Lace Ribbon
Nylon forms patterned lace for a garment edge or decorative attachment. -
Polyester Lace Ribbon
Polyester yarn offers another fiber option for repeated motifs in a narrow trim.
Sewing Margin and Scallop Width
Sewn trim has a full width and a sewing margin. We can leave a dense inner edge for stitching and an outer scallop beyond the seam.
-
Full profile
The widest dimension reaches the farthest tip of the outer motif. -
Sewing margin
A denser section provides an attachment area along one edge. -
Repeat length
The distance between matching points determines how motifs line up along a hem. -
Piece ends
A cut can fall between complete motifs or through the pattern, depending on the specified length.
Dyed Lace and Two-Tone Effects
A single dyed yarn looks tonal against matching fabric. Contrasting fabric or paper shows through the openings without a second yarn color.
-
Yarn shade
The yarn provides the color in the denser parts of a lace repeat. -
Open areas
The garment or wrap shows through the openings and becomes part of the visible design. -
Tonal edge
A lace in a shade close to the backing emphasizes texture more than contrast. -
Contrasting border
A contrasting yarn makes the scalloped outline and internal pattern more prominent.
Pattern Repeat, Scallops and Ends
A flower, curve or geometric shape can form the repeat. Scallops follow the outer motif, while the inner sewing margin stays straighter.
-
Open motif
Holes in the pattern introduce the underlying fabric color into the finished design. -
Dense sections
Closer yarns outline the motif and give the lace a more solid edge. -
Scalloped border
Scallop depth and repeat define the outer shape. The straight inner margin can remain clear for stitching. -
Straight attachment edge
A stable inner margin allows a complete pattern to remain exposed beside the seam.
Continuous Lace and Cut Motifs
A hem can span several repeats. A cut for a garment detail or presentation pack can retain one complete motif and its border.
-
Continuous trim
Roll lengths follow garment seams, hems or long decorative edges. -
Individual applications
Cut pieces can each contain one or more complete motifs. -
Attachment area
The supplied width can include a stable sewing strip as well as the decorative border. -
Motif grouping
Piece counts and repeat direction distinguish prepared lace pieces within an order.
Lace for Hems, Cut Motifs and Wraps
A hem, short garment detail and paper wrap can share a motif but use different margins, repeat lengths and cut positions.
A full motif in a cut piece
A decorative length can begin and end between motifs so the central flower or geometric unit stays complete.
Lace Yarns, Motif and Sewing Edge
An opaque cotton attachment
Beside open lace, solid cotton tape provides a continuous sewing surface and can carry print or embroidery.

Scallops beyond a seam
A custom width can reserve the straight inner edge for stitching and position the deepest part of the scallop outside the finished garment.

How an open motif defines a lace edge
Lace alternates dense yarn with openings in a repeating motif. We offer cotton, nylon and polyester. A straight margin can anchor the trim in a seam while the scallop extends beyond the fabric.
Custom Lace Trim and Ribbon
Open lace patterns can show contrasting backings and form decorative borders on sewn trim and presentation wraps.
