Stephanoise Bias Binding Tape - Almond Green

Bias binding tape is used to create a neat, durable, and often decorative finish on the raw edges of fabric. It's commonly used for necklines, armholes, quilt edges, placemats, and tote bag openings.

Measure the perimeter of the edge you wish to bind and add extra for seams and overlap (approximately 6-8 inches or 15-20 cm). It's always better to have a little extra.

Yes, it can be used for lighter upholstery projects like cushions or throw pillows. For heavy-duty furniture, a more robust binding might be necessary.

Typically, the raw edge of the tape is aligned with the raw edge of the fabric, right sides together, and sewn. The tape is then folded over the edge and secured to the other side, either by stitching in the ditch or topstitching.

The polycotton blend offers good colorfastness, but like most dyed fabrics, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading over time.

While specific width is not detailed in product info, bias binding tape typically comes in standard widths like 1/2 inch (13mm) or 1 inch (25mm) when unfolded. Check product packaging for exact dimensions.

Gently steam or press the tape with an iron to increase flexibility before applying it to curved edges.

View the tape in natural light and compare it with your fabric. Online color representations can vary by screen settings.

Ensure you are sewing with an appropriate stitch length and tension for your fabric. Consider using a slight seam allowance to capture all raw edges.

Pin the tape securely in place before sewing. Use a walking foot on your sewing machine for even feeding of layers. Sew slowly and steadily.
