This high-quality binding features a durable, slightly glossy finish and a multicoloured rainbow design, making it perfect for edging curves on garments, table linens, and bedding.

FAQs
Can this be used on jersey fabrics?
Yes, the bias cut provides enough stretch for light knit fabrics, though care should be taken not to over-stretch during application.
Is the 20 mm measurement the total width of the tape?
The 20 mm measurement refers to the final visible width once the tape is folded over the fabric edge.
Does the tape fray easily?
The construction is designed to contain raw edges, and the finish is resistant to fraying under normal usage.
Can I use this for binding blankets?
Yes, it is excellent for decorative edging on blankets, provided the edge thickness does not exceed the capacity of the binding fold.
How should I store the leftover tape?
Keep it on its original spool in a sewing box to prevent tangling and to protect the edges from crushing.
Troubleshooting
Binding puckers on curves
Ensure you are not stretching the tape as you feed it; allow the bias natural give to handle the curve.
Needle skipping stitches
Check that the binding is not too thick for your machine's throat plate and use a sharp, new universal needle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the tape, ensure your project's raw edges are trimmed cleanly before application. For best compatibility, match the binding with medium-weight cotton or linen fabrics. Use a universal sewing needle and high-quality polyester thread to secure the tape.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash at recommended temperatures for the base fabric.
- Use a cool to medium iron setting to press, avoiding direct heat on the glossy finish if possible.
- Store the remainder of the 30 m roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant colour saturation.
