FAQs
What is bias binding tape?
Bias binding tape is a strip of fabric cut on the bias (diagonal) grain of the fabric, which makes it stretchy and ideal for binding curved edges.
What fabrics can I use the tape with?
The tape is suitable for use with most fabrics, including cotton, linen, and blends. Always test on a scrap piece of fabric first.
How do I attach the bias binding tape?
Fold the tape in half lengthwise and press. Open it and align the raw edges of the tape with the edge of the fabric. Sew along the fold line. Fold the tape over to the back and stitch in place.
Can I use this tape for quilting?
Yes, Stephanoise Bias Binding Tape is suitable for quilting projects and can be used to bind the edges of quilts.
How much tape do I need for a project?
Measure the total length of the edges you need to bind and add extra for corners and seams. It's always best to have a little extra on hand.
How do I store the bias binding tape?
Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can I dye the bias binding tape?
It is not recommended to dye the tape, as the color may not take evenly. Consider using a different color of Stephanoise tape.
