FAQs

What fabric types is this bias binding tape best suited for?

This bias binding tape is best suited for jersey fabrics and other knit materials.

Can I use this tape on woven fabrics?

While it can be used on some woven fabrics, it is designed to work best with knit fabrics due to its flexibility.

How do I calculate how much tape I need?

Measure the edge you wish to bind and add extra for corners and curves. It's always a good idea to buy a little extra.

What kind of stitch should I use to apply the tape?

A straight stitch is typically used. You can also use a zigzag stitch for added security.

Can I iron this tape?

Yes, but use a low to medium heat setting and a pressing cloth to avoid scorching.

What if the tape shrinks after washing?

Always pre-wash your fabric and the tape before sewing to minimize shrinkage.

Troubleshooting

Tape is puckering or bunching during application.

Ensure you are stretching the tape slightly as you sew to accommodate the curve of the fabric. Adjust your sewing machine tension.

Tape is fraying after washing.

Ensure the raw edges of the fabric are properly enclosed by the bias binding tape. Consider using a zigzag stitch to secure the edges.
