8mm Polyester Boning
8mm [3/8"] wide. Sold by the 1/2 metre.

Polyester boning provides lightweight, flexible shape to sewing projects. Originally this is used to support corsets, wedding dresses, strapless garments and swimwear. However, we like to use it inside bag handles for a really sturdy finish.

It can be sewn by hand or on your sewing machine, but we prefer to keep it out of the seams where possible as it will blunt your needle due to its density. This boning is made of woven polyester yarns. It has no stretch and is durable. It can be washed and dry cleaned without changing its density.

RETURNS
NOT HAPPY WITH SOMETHING?

It’s important to us that you’re happy with your purchase, but if for any reason you’re not happy with your products simply email us at shop@countrycowdesigns.com within 60 days of receiving your package and request a return. Or you can send us a Whatsapp message 07518142548 (+447518142548 if you’re outside the UK). This is your “right of withdrawal”. Items must be returned at your expense, within 90 days of receipt for a full refund. We recommend that you obtain proof of postage or tracking when returning your items as we can’t guarantee receipt of your order.

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase. The simplest way to provide this is to reply to the original order confirmation email. To qualify for a refund, your products must be returned unused and in a re-saleable condition. Once we’ve inspected the returned items, we’ll refund you within 7 days. The refund will be processed to the same payment source used for purchase. In certain circumstances, we will only grant a partial refund. This includes where any item is not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error, or any item that is returned more than 90 days after delivery.

When you cancel or return your order, we incur costs that are not refunded to us such as payment processing fees and postage costs. As a small business, these costs negatively impact us so please check measurements and read product details thoroughly before purchasing. If you have any questions before ordering, feel free to send us an email.

If you haven’t received a refund when expected, we recommend contacting your bank or credit card provider. Please bear in mind, it can take several days for your bank to process the refund and show it in your account.

If you’ve done this and you still have not received your refund 7 working days after you were notified of your refund, please contact us.

DAMAGED, FAULTY OR MISSING ITEMS?
If you think you’ve received an item that’s damaged, faulty, or otherwise incorrect, please contact us straight away by emailing us at shop@countrycowdesigns.com with a photo and description of the fault. Or whatsapp message us on 07518142548 (+447518142548 if you’re outside the UK). We will get back to you within 24 hours to resolve the issue (usually quicker).

If we’ve sent you the wrong item, we’ll let you keep it at no cost, and we'll also send you the correct item.

If you believe an item is missing, please check the packaging thoroughly and unpack your entire order. We like to do our bit to help the planet and that means reducing packaging and space. To achieve this, we often roll items within each other. For example, if you’ve ordered 2 x 1 metre cuts of zip tape and 1 metre of webbing, we’ll roll them together in one bag. If your order is completely unpacked and you’re certain an item is missing, please email us at shop@countrycowdesigns.com or whatsapp message us on 07518142548 (+447518142548 if you’re outside the UK).
IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION
Product: Polyester Stabiliser/Boning
Intended Use: For use in sewing, quilting, and crafting projects to add structure, stability, body, and shape retention to fabrics. Typically slipped between layers of fabric, or sewn in. Common applications include bag making, apparel (collars, cuffs), and craft projects.
Target User: Adult consumers of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced sewers and crafters.
Product Description: A fabric made from dense polyester. 
Made of: 100% Polyester

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hazards: This product is designed to be safe under normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. Risks are primarily sewing related and physical (fabric properties).

Material Allergies/Sensitization: While many fabrics are generally hypoallergenic, some individuals may have sensitivities or allergic reactions to the fibres used in manufacturing. This could manifest as skin irritation or respiratory symptoms upon prolonged contact or exposure to fumes.

Fraying & Lint: Cutting boning could generate small fibres. For individuals with respiratory sensitivities (e.g., asthma, allergies), inhaling excessive fibres can cause respiratory irritation. Fibres can also accumulate in sewing machines, requiring regular cleaning.

Choking Hazard (for very young children/vulnerable adults/pets): Small, cut scraps of boning, especially if improperly stored, could pose a choking risk if ingested by very young children or pets. This is a low likelihood risk if standard safety practices for crafting materials are followed.

-----------------------------------------------------------

To ensure the safe use of boning and minimize associated risks, adhere to the following recommendations:
Store Safely: Store in a clean, dry area, away from direct heat sources, open flames, and out of reach of young children and pets.
Clear Workspace: Maintain a clear, well-lit, and organized crafting area to prevent accidents.
Dust Control: Regularly clean your sewing area and machine to remove accumulated fabric dust and fibres. Using a vacuum with a HEPA filter can be beneficial.
Keep Away from Flammable Materials: Ensure there are no flammable liquids, sprays, or materials near your ironing area.
Needle Selection: Choose an appropriate sewing machine needle for the combined layers of fabric and boning if you are sewing through the boning. A universal needle is often suitable, but a sharp or quilting needle might be better for dense applications.
Washing Finished Projects: Follow care instructions for finished projects. Most polyester bonings are machine washable, but always refer to the specific product care guidelines.
Safe Disposal of Scraps: Dispose of small fabric scraps in a secure container, out of reach of young children and pets, to prevent choking hazards.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

In case of accidental injury:

Respiratory Irritation (due to fibres/lint): Move to a well-ventilated area or go outdoors for fresh air. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if breathing becomes difficult, seek medical attention.

Skin Irritation/Allergic Reaction: Discontinue contact with the product. Wash the affected skin thoroughly with mild soap and water. If irritation persists or worsens, consult a medical professional.

While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of this information, it is not exhaustive and does not replace the need for user discretion, proper crafting techniques, and adherence to general sewing and crafting safety practices.
