This Hemline Polycotton Bias Binding in Dusky Pink is ideal for sewers looking to add a clean, durable finish to garments and craft projects. Its 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend offers both strength and a soft feel, making it versatile for various fabrics. A key benefit is its machine washable and dry-cleanable nature, ensuring longevity of the finished item. The primary caveat is its standard 12mm width, which may not suit all seam allowances or design requirements.

Bias binding is a strip of fabric cut on the diagonal grain, used to create a neat and durable edge finish on seams, hems, or as decorative trim on garments and craft projects.
Yes, due to its cut on the bias, it has natural stretch and flexibility, making it suitable for binding curved edges.
Typically, it's folded around the raw edge of the fabric and stitched down, either in one step (with a binder attachment) or two steps (stitched to the front, then folded and stitched to the back).
Yes, you can iron the bias binding on a medium setting, preferably while it is still slightly damp, to achieve a crisp finish.
Polycotton is a blend of polyester and cotton fibers. This specific binding is 65% polyester and 35% cotton, combining the durability and wrinkle resistance of polyester with the breathability and comfort of cotton.
The binding is 12mm wide before folding. Once applied, it typically finishes to approximately 5-6mm on each side of the fabric edge, depending on how it's sewn.
Dusky Pink is a muted, soft shade of pink. It is not a bright or neon color, offering a subtle addition to projects.
Ensure your scissors are sharp for clean cuts. If sewing machine feed is pulling, try adjusting tension or using a walking foot. For very fine fraying, a small amount of fray check liquid can be applied to the cut edge before sewing.
Ensure you are not stretching the binding as you sew. Use plenty of pins to hold it in place. For curves, clip the seam allowance of the binding on the outer edge to help it lie flat. Ironing the binding flat after application can also help.
Check your sewing machine's thread tension and stitch length. Ensure the binding is evenly folded and aligned with the fabric edge. Practicing on a scrap piece can help dial in the correct settings.
Setup:
Bias binding does not require a specific setup; it is ready to be sewn directly onto fabric. Ensure you have a sewing machine, thread that matches your fabric or binding, pins, and scissors.
Compatibility:
This bias binding is compatible with most common sewing machines and works well with a wide range of fabric types, including cottons, poly-cottons, linens, and light to medium-weight blends. It is best suited for projects where a 12mm finished edge is appropriate.
