FAQs
Is this bias tape pre-folded?
Yes, this tape is designed with standard folds to allow for easy application over raw fabric edges.
Can I use this on stretch fabrics?
While the bias cut offers some flexibility, it is primarily intended for stable woven fabrics. If used on stretch fabric, test on a scrap piece first.
How should I wash items finished with this tape?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle. Turn garments inside out to protect the satin sheen from direct friction.
What needle size do you recommend?
A standard universal needle in size 70/10 or 80/12 is recommended for most fabric weights.
Is the color fade-resistant?
The tape is made from durable synthetic fibers designed to maintain color vibrancy through regular laundering.
Troubleshooting
Tape is puckering on curved edges
Reduce tension on your sewing machine and ensure you are not pulling the tape as you feed it through the needle.
Satin fabric snagging on the needle
Use a new, sharp universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) and ensure the machine needle plate is free of burrs.
Binding is slipping during sewing
Use more pins or a temporary fabric glue pen to stabilize the tape against the garment edge before sewing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the tape, ensure your fabric edge is pressed flat. If you are using a bias binder foot on your sewing machine, feed the tape through the attachment to ensure even folding. For manual application, press the tape into place with a low-heat iron before stitching. The binding is machine washable; however, it is recommended to wash finished garments inside out to protect the satin finish from abrasion. Avoid using heavy steam directly on the satin surface to prevent potential heat damage or water spots.
