FAQs
What is bias binding tape?
Bias binding tape is fabric cut on the bias (diagonal) that allows it to stretch and conform to curved edges, used for finishing edges of fabric.
What is the material of the Stephanoise bias binding tape?
It is made of a polycotton blend.
Can I use this tape on stretchy fabrics?
Yes, but be careful to use a stitch that stretches slightly to prevent the seam from breaking.
How do I attach the bias tape to my project?
Fold the tape over the edge of the fabric and sew it in place. You can use a machine or sew by hand.
What kind of needle should I use?
Use a universal needle for most fabrics. For heavier fabrics, use a denim or microtex needle.
Can I iron this tape?
Yes, you can iron the tape on a medium setting. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.
How do I store the remaining tape?
Store the tape in a cool, dry place. Rolling it up helps prevent it from wrinkling.
Is the teal blue color consistent?
The color is consistent, but it's important to note that slight variations can occur based on screen displays.
Troubleshooting
Tape frays during sewing.
Use a finer needle and slower sewing speed. Consider pre-treating the edges with a fabric sealant.
Color bleeds during washing.
Wash the garment separately in cold water the first few times. Use a color-catcher sheet.
Tape doesn't lay flat.
Press the tape with an iron before and after sewing. Ensure even tension while sewing.
