Page 3 - Cord stopper
Cord stoppers are little helpers with a big effect: they fix cords in place, enable infinite adjustment and add the finishing touch to finished projects. Whether for hoods, bags, jogging pants or accessories - the right choice of cord stoppers makes all the difference in terms of finish and durability.
What are cord stoppers suitable for?
Cord stoppers are suitable for all projects where an adjustable cord is needed. Typical areas of application are clothing (hoods, waistbands), bags and pouches, sports and outdoor equipment and home textiles. Secure, easy-to-use stoppers are also particularly practical for children's clothing and baby equipment.
Materials and variants
There are cord stoppers made of plastic and metal as well as variants with single or multiple passages. Plastic stoppers are lightweight, weather-resistant and available in many colors; metal stoppers appear more robust and are often more durable. When buying, pay attention to the inner diameter specification so that the cord fits through properly.
Processing tips from a sewing expert
- Before pulling in: Check the cord - if it is too thick, choose a larger stopper.
- Pulling in: Feed the cord through the opening, press the stopper together, adjust the cord and release.
- Fixing: With stretch or very thin cords, a knot at the end or a short piece of shrink tubing helps to prevent fraying and improve the hold.
- Assembly aid: Small pliers or tweezers make it easier to insert narrow diameters.
