FAQs
Can this tape be used on stretchy knit fabrics?
While it can be used for stability, be aware that the tape itself does not have stretch, so it may restrict the flexibility of the knit garment.
Is this tape pre-ironed?
Yes, it arrives with pre-folded edges, making it ready for immediate application to your project.
Does the denim blue color bleed in the wash?
Prym uses high-quality dyes; however, it is standard practice to test a small scrap if you are concerned about colorfastness on very light-colored base fabrics.
Can I use this for quilting?
Absolutely, it works well for binding straight or slightly curved quilt edges to provide a clean, framed look.
What width is this tape?
The tape features a standard width suitable for most garment-binding applications, ensuring it covers raw edges without adding excessive bulk.
Troubleshooting
Tape is puckering after stitching
Reduce your sewing machine tension slightly and ensure you are not pulling or stretching the tape while feeding it under the presser foot.
Needle skipping stitches
Check that you are using a sharp needle suitable for the fabric weight and ensure the tape is fed evenly without bulky overlaps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your fabric edges are trimmed evenly. Align the pre-folded edge of the bias tape with the raw edge of your project, sandwiching the fabric between the tape folds. Pin or use sewing clips to secure the position before stitching. This tape is highly compatible with most lightweight to medium-weight cotton fabrics. For care, wash the finished garment according to the fabric's requirements, though it is generally advised to wash in cool to warm water. To keep the binding looking sharp, touch up with a warm iron if necessary, ensuring not to overheat the tape.
