Piping can be used to embellish the edge of a collar, pocket, hem, or sleeve. It can be applied between visible seams (for example, princess seams), at the waistline of a pair of pants, or along the exterior curves of a garment. It may be used to adorn the edge of a cushion, valance, or curtains in home décor goods.

Piping is a trim or edging made by stitching a tiny strip of folded fabric — usually bias binding — into a narrow tube and then attaching it to the edge of a piece of cloth. It can also contain a cord for added body. Piping is frequently utilized to define or emphasize a garment’s stylistic lines.
