Full details

This high-quality 15mm tape offers excellent flexibility for navigating curves and corners, providing a professional finish to any sewing project.

FAQs

Is this binding tape pre-folded?

Yes, it is pre-folded, making it ready to use for enclosing raw edges immediately.

Can this tape be used for quilting?

While intended for finishing edges, it can be used for light quilting projects where a satin finish is desired.

Is the material colorfast?

Yes, it is designed to be wash-resistant, though it is always best practice to test on a small scrap if using with very light-colored fabrics.

What width is this tape?

This specific variant is 15mm wide, providing a standard trim width for most garments.

Can I iron this tape?

Yes, use a medium or cool setting and avoid high heat to prevent melting or damaging the sheen.

Is the 2.5 metres a continuous length?

Yes, the pack contains 2.5 metres of continuous bias binding.

Troubleshooting

Tape is slipping while sewing.

Use more pins or a temporary fabric glue stick to keep the tape aligned with the edge of the fabric.

The fabric is puckering after binding.

Ensure you are not stretching the tape too tightly as you feed it into the machine; let it sit naturally against the curve.

Stitching is missing the back edge of the tape.

Adjust your stitch position slightly or use a wider zigzag stitch if you are struggling to catch both layers of the binding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent drape and flexibility for curved edges
  • Provides a high-quality, professional-looking glossy finish
  • Easy to manipulate and pin during the sewing process
  • Durable enough for machine washing
  • Ideal for both functional binding and decorative piping

Cons

  • The 2.5-metre length may be insufficient for large projects
  • Satin material can be slightly slippery under a sewing machine presser foot
  • Requires careful ironing on a lower heat setting to protect the sheen

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the tape for application, lightly press it with a steam iron on a medium-to-low setting to remove any creases from the packaging. When stitching, ensure you use a needle appropriate for the weight of your base fabric and a matching thread color. For long-term care, the tape is machine washable; however, it is recommended to wash finished items in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging. Always avoid high-temperature tumble drying, as excessive heat may dull the satin finish over time.
