FAQs
What is bias binding?
Bias binding is fabric cut on the bias (at a 45-degree angle to the grain), allowing it to stretch and curve easily, making it perfect for finishing edges.
What kind of projects is this tape suitable for?
Stephanoise Floral Bias Binding Tape is suitable for dressmaking projects such as finishing necklines, armholes, and hems, as well as various craft projects.
Can I use this tape on delicate fabrics?
Yes, but be careful. Use a low heat setting when ironing and consider hand sewing for delicate fabrics.
How do I calculate the length of bias tape I need?
Measure the edge you wish to bind and add extra for overlap, typically a few inches.
What type of needle should I use?
A universal needle is generally suitable for most fabrics. However, for thicker fabrics, you may need a denim or heavy-duty needle.
Can I dye this tape?
It is not recommended, as the dye may not adhere evenly, and could affect the floral print.
Troubleshooting
Tape doesn't curve smoothly around corners.
Ensure the tape is properly bias cut and slightly stretch the tape while applying it to curves.
The tape frays after washing.
Pre-wash the fabric and tape before sewing to prevent excessive fraying. Use a zigzag stitch to secure the edges.
