Stephanoise Viscose Jersey Bias Binding Tape Red

Bias binding tape is used to finish raw edges of fabric, particularly on curved edges like necklines and armholes. It can also be used as a decorative trim.

Yes, due to its cut on the bias (diagonally across the fabric's grain), this viscose jersey tape has natural stretch and flexibility, making it easy to work with curves.

The product description does not specify the exact width when folded, but it is designed for standard binding applications. It typically opens up to allow fabric to be enclosed within.

Yes, bias tape can be applied using a serger or overlocker, although it often requires specific techniques or presser feet for a clean finish, especially on curves. A standard sewing machine is typically easier for beginners.

This depends on the project. For a standard t-shirt neckline, you might need around 2-3 yards. It's always best to measure the edge you intend to bind and add a little extra for seams and overlap.

Straight grain binding is cut along the fabric's grain and is less flexible, suitable for straight edges. Bias tape is cut diagonally and is very flexible, making it ideal for curves and corners.

Generally, you align the raw edge of the tape with the raw edge of your fabric (right sides together), stitch along the fold, flip the tape to the other side, and stitch again close to the folded edge to enclose the raw seam.

Ensure the fabric edge is not stretched while applying the tape. Use a walking foot on your sewing machine if possible. Press the tape in place before stitching.

While this is a standard width, consider if a narrower bias tape would be more suitable for very fine fabrics or delicate projects. For this tape, ensure even distribution.

Hand wash separately for the first wash in cold water to check for colorfastness. If color transfer occurs, wash with similar colors in subsequent washes.
