Bias tape in ALL colours!
Okay – claiming "all" might be an exaggeration, but here you really get a whole rainbow of colours to choose from for your DIY project.
Bias tape is the icing on the cake. And the colour – that's up to you. Find one that matches your project, choose one that offers a subtle shade difference, or go all out on contrast and pick one (or several!) that stands out and draws attention. It's your design – you obviously decide.
The bias tape is 18 mm wide and made of 100% cotton. You get 5 meters of bias tape in a package.
Use bias tape for...
Stitch bias tape on blankets and bath towels. Use it on dresses, shirts and blouses – and for baby clothes and bodysuits. Let the bias tape act as lovely details and beautiful finishes on edges and cutouts.
Good to know about bias tape
Bias tape has the (almost) magical ability to adapt to many types of fabric. As the name suggests, it's cut on the bias, so it naturally follows your curves, necklines, corners, and edges. This provides a beautiful finish.
How to stitch on bias tape
Bias tape is for sewing onto curves, corners, and straight stretches. When sewing the bias tape onto your project, stitch in straight stitches with a stitch length of about 2.5 cm. While you're sewing, don't pull or stretch it. Let it align naturally along the edge, ensuring a neat finish.
TIP
When you start sewing on your bias tape, fold about 2 cm inwards so it's double-layered. When finishing, tuck the other end's fold over your folded start. The same principle applies when extending bias tape.
