FAQs

What is bias binding?

Bias binding is fabric cut on the bias (at a 45-degree angle to the grain) that is used to encase raw edges, providing a clean and finished look, especially on curved edges.

Can I use this tape on stretch fabrics?

Yes, it is suitable for many stretch fabrics, but testing a sample beforehand is always recommended.

How do I attach the bias binding tape?

You can attach it using a sewing machine or by hand, folding it over the edge of the fabric and stitching it in place.

How much tape will I need?

Measure the edge you are binding and add extra for corners and overlaps. It's always best to have a bit extra to avoid running out.

What stitch type should I use?

A straight stitch is generally used to attach bias binding.

What needle size is recommended?

A universal needle size 70/10 or 80/12 is usually suitable, but adjust based on your fabric.

Troubleshooting

Tape fraying during application.

Ensure you are using the correct needle size and stitch length for your fabric. Apply seam sealant to the raw edges if necessary.

Tape puckering or not lying flat.

Use steam when pressing and ensure the tape is evenly distributed around curves.
