Piping vinyl color and panel match
  Painting piping.jpg - The vinyl is wrapped around a 5/16 OD hard plastic tubing, and then sown close to the edge with a one sided presser foot. We created four 72" x 4-1/2" strips on the bias from the material I bought and wrapped them around 24 feet of the plastic tubing. Final diameter is about 3/8". The smaller front valance piping is three feet long and wrapped around a 1/8" tube. Its final diameter is about 1/4". The strips are stapled to boards for painting with a combination of body, clear and flex agent.
