A straight stitch is generally recommended. Adjust your stitch length based on your fabric type (e.g., slightly shorter for knit fabrics).
Measure the total length of the edges you plan to bind, and add a few inches for overlap. It's always best to have a little extra.
Yes, but be extra careful. Test on a scrap piece first, and consider using a lighter thread and a lower machine tension.
Overlap the ends by about an inch, and fold the raw edges under before sewing. This creates a clean, finished seam.
The magenta color is generally colorfast, but it's always a good idea to pre-wash the tape and test a small piece with your fabric.
Yes, but use a low heat setting, especially on delicate fabrics. Always test a small area first.
Reduce tension on your sewing machine. Apply the tape with even tension, and use more pins to secure it before sewing.
Avoid pulling the tape as you sew. Feed the fabric and tape evenly through the machine.
To use the Stephanoise Cotton Jersey Bias Binding Tape, you'll need a sewing machine, thread that matches or complements the tape's color, and fabric. The tape is compatible with most fabrics, especially those with some stretch like jersey, knit, and other dressmaking fabrics.
