FAQs
What is bias binding?
Bias binding is fabric cut on the bias (diagonal) grain, which allows it to stretch and curve easily, making it perfect for finishing curved edges.
What fabrics is this bias tape suitable for?
This bias tape is suitable for a wide range of fabrics, but testing on a scrap is recommended.
How do I attach the bias binding?
Open the binding and place it around the edge of your fabric, then stitch it using a sewing machine or hand stitch.
Can I iron this bias binding?
Yes, you can iron it, but use a low to medium heat setting, and avoid direct contact with the tape to prevent damage.
What stitch should I use?
A straight stitch is generally used, close to the edge of the bias binding.
How do I calculate how much bias binding I need?
Measure the total length of the edges you plan to bind, then add extra for corners and overlaps. It's always best to have a little extra.
Troubleshooting
Bias binding tape appears puckered after stitching.
Ensure you are not pulling the fabric or tape too tightly while stitching. Adjust the tension on your sewing machine if necessary, and use pins generously to hold the tape in place.
Color bleeds during washing.
Wash the finished project in cold water and separately from other items for the first few washes. Test a small piece of the tape on your fabric before starting the project to check for color fastness.
