FAQs

Is this tape iron-safe?

Yes, but use a low-to-medium temperature setting and ideally a pressing cloth to avoid melting the satin finish.

Can I use this for home décor items?

Absolutely, it is perfect for edging bed linen, tablecloths, and decorative cushions.

How do I join two strips together?

For a clean join, stitch the ends together at a 45-degree angle, press the seam open, and trim the excess.

Is the 15mm measurement the finished width?

15mm refers to the total width of the tape before it is folded over the fabric edge.

Does the colour fade after washing?

The material is designed to be durable, but like all dyed fabrics, it is best to wash in cool water to maintain longevity.

Troubleshooting

The tape slips while sewing.

Use more pins or apply temporary fabric glue to hold the binding in place before running it through the machine.

The stitching looks uneven on the underside.

Ensure the tape is folded evenly and verify that the feed dogs on your sewing machine are catching both layers of fabric.

Puckering around curves.

Reduce the tension on your bobbin or upper thread and avoid pulling or stretching the tape while feeding it under the needle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent flexibility for curved hems and necklines
  • High-quality satin finish adds a professional touch
  • Easy to clean and maintain through standard washing
  • Ideal for a wide range of dressmaking and craft applications

Cons

  • Limited 2.5m length may necessitate purchasing multiple packs for larger projects
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty outdoor upholstery
  • Satin material can be slippery during initial pinning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply the binding, unfold one side of the tape and align the raw edge with your fabric, then stitch along the pre-folded crease. Once attached, fold the tape over the edge and secure it with a topstitch for a finished look.

Compatibility: This tape is compatible with most medium-weight cotton, polyester, and linen fabrics. It is recommended to test the binding on a scrap piece of your specific fabric to ensure the tension settings on your sewing machine are adjusted correctly for the satin finish.

Care: The binding is fully washable. To preserve the shine of the satin, it is recommended to wash finished items in cool water and avoid high-heat tumble drying or harsh ironing directly on the surface without a pressing cloth.
