Bias tape cotton 30mm dark grey 5m

The Wide Bias Binding 

Bias binding is a brilliant finish to your project; it provides a polished look!  

 

This wide cotton bias binding is great for larger projects where you'd like a more visible effect, such as on a Christmas tree skirt or for edging a coat or jacket. Choose the colour that suits your project – should it match, provide a slight or strong contrast?  

 

The bias binding is 30 mm wide, made from 100% cotton, and comes in a pack of 5 metres.  

 

Worth Knowing About Bias Binding 

Bias binding has the (almost) magical ability to adapt to many fabrics. It is – as the name suggests – cut on the bias and therefore naturally follows your curves, neckline cuts, corners, and edges. This results in a beautiful finish.  

 

How to Sew On Bias Binding 

Bias binding is for sewing onto curves, corners, and straight stretches. When sewing the bias binding onto your project, you stitch in straight lines with a stitch length of about 2.5 cm. While sewing, ensure you don't pull or stretch it. Let it align naturally along the edge for a neat finish.  

 

TIP 

When starting to sew your bias binding, fold in about 2 cm to create a double layer. Upon finishing, tuck the other end's fold over your folded start. The same principle applies when extending a bias binding.
