Bias and Twill Tapes

How to Use Bias Tape – Finish Edges with a Clean, Professional Look

Bias tape is a versatile sewing notion used to bind, finish, or decorate the raw edges of fabric, especially on curves and corners. Cut on the bias (diagonal) of the fabric, bias tape has natural stretch and flexibility, making it ideal for finishing necklines, armholes, hems, quilts, and curved seams. To use bias tape, simply align it along the edge of your fabric, pin in place, and sew it on with a straight or zigzag stitch. You can use single-fold bias tape for narrow trims or double-fold bias tape for fully enclosed edges. It’s also great for seam binding, blanket edging, apron ties, and piping. Available in a variety of colors, widths, and materials, bias tape is an easy way to add durability and style to any sewing project. <br><br>

How to Use Twill Tape – A Versatile Sewing Essential for Structure and Finishing

Twill tape is a flat, woven cotton or polyester ribbon with a distinctive diagonal weave, used for a wide range of sewing and crafting applications. It’s commonly used to stabilize seams, reinforce edges, create drawstrings, bind raw fabric edges, and add decorative or functional detail to garments and accessories. To use twill tape, simply sew it directly onto fabric to add strength to shoulder seams, waistbands, or button plackets. You can also use it to make ties for aprons, masks, and baby clothes, or as a clean alternative to bias binding for quilts and home décor. Available in multiple widths and colors, twill tape by the yard is an essential item for both functional and creative sewing projects.
