Prym Duchesse Satin Bias Binding Tape Red - per metre

Bias tape is fabric cut on the bias (diagonal) grain of the fabric, which provides flexibility and allows it to curve around edges.

Yes, but be careful when applying it to stretch fabrics; consider using a stretch stitch on your sewing machine to maintain the fabric's elasticity.

Measure the total length of the edges you want to finish and add extra for corners and overlaps. It's always best to have a little extra than not enough.

Use a sharp needle appropriate for the fabric weight. A universal needle size 70/10 or 80/12 is often suitable.

Overlap the ends slightly, fold one end under, and either sew or glue the overlap for a neat finish.

While it can be used, the satin may not be the ideal choice for quilting, since it can be more prone to slippage. Consider other bias tape options for quilting.

Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It's best to roll it neatly and secure it with a pin or clip to prevent unraveling.

The color fastness can vary, so it's best to test a small piece first if you are concerned. However, quality satin bias tape will typically hold its color well with proper care.

Ensure the tape is properly aligned and pinned before stitching. Clip the seam allowance on curves to allow it to lie flat.

Use a sharp needle and adjust your sewing machine's settings to minimize fraying. Consider using a fray check product on the edges before sewing.

Wash the garment by hand with cold water and mild detergent. Test the colorfastness of the tape before washing a large project.
