Rick Rack, perhaps the boldest of trims, comes in three sizes, many color coordinated. Baby Rick Rack is just the right size for doll or baby clothes as well as ornaments and other miniature projects. Medium Rick Rack is a good size for dresses, aprons and most clothing needs whether inserted in a seam or sewn flat on top. Jumbo Rick Rack is perfect for inserting in seams on clothing or applying flat on costumes. Use one color to compliment the colors of a dress or several coordinated colors for a bright fun look.
