Cord -- Cord is rope composed of multiple plies. ***With a flange,*** it is used in the seams of upholstered goods. Without a flange, used to swag over draperies. Cord is a multi-purpose trimming effective in its simplicity. Used extensively in traditional decorating, cord is also popular for contemporary interiors. It can be used on ceilings, dado rails, upholstered tables, furniture, cushions and accessories. Also see lip-cord.
Lip-cord -- Cord with a "lip" attached for easy insertion into cushions or upholstery. Also see cord.
