FAQs
Can I use this tape on stretchy fabrics?
Yes, but be careful to stretch the bias tape slightly as you sew to prevent puckering. Test on a scrap piece first.
How do I cut the corners when applying the tape?
Trim the excess tape at a 45-degree angle at the corners for a neat finish. Fold the corner over and stitch it in place.
What kind of thread should I use?
Use a thread that matches the color of the bias tape or the main fabric. A lightweight, all-purpose thread is generally a good choice.
Can I hand-stitch the bias tape?
Yes, hand-stitching is a great option for a more delicate and invisible finish. Use a slip stitch or blind hem stitch.
How do I prevent the tape from stretching out of shape?
Handle the tape carefully during application, and avoid pulling or stretching it excessively. Iron the tape gently to maintain its shape.
Is this tape suitable for outdoor garments?
While it can be used, consider that satin may not be as durable as other materials in direct sunlight and harsh weather. Choose a suitable fabric for your intended use.
Troubleshooting
Tape doesn't lie flat.
Ensure the tape is properly ironed before application and that the tension on your sewing machine is correct.
Color bleeding during washing.
Wash the finished garment separately the first few times. Use cold water and a mild detergent.
Tape fraying after washing.
Pre-wash the bias tape and consider using a zigzag stitch to secure the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use Prym Duchesse Satin Bias Binding Tape, you'll need a sewing machine or needle and thread, fabric scissors, pins, and an iron. The tape is compatible with most fabrics, but it's important to test a small piece first to ensure colorfastness and compatibility. When caring for your projects, follow the fabric care instructions. Generally, items finished with this tape can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Use a low heat setting to iron, and protect the tape with a pressing cloth to prevent scorching. Avoid using bleach, which can damage the color and fibers.
