Cotton Bias Binding Ecru 20mm

Cotton Bias Binding Ecru 20mm

This bias binding in Ecru has that warm, natural tone you often find with cotton - not stark white but soft and broken, with a matte finish that works beautifully with linen and cotton fabrics. In the photo you can clearly see the fine diagonal weave that's characteristic of bias binding, which lets the tape fold smoothly around curves and rounded edges without pulling or bunching. The tape is sturdy enough to give structure to a hem, yet supple enough to lie flat along a neckline or armhole.

What is cotton bias binding

Bias binding is a tape cut or woven on the bias, which makes it naturally elastic and gives in all directions. This property makes it perfect for finishing both straight and curved edges - something a straight-grain tape simply can't do. The cotton version feels soft against the skin and irons beautifully, making it especially nice for children's clothes and underwear. Because it's a natural fiber, Ecru has a quiet, warm tone without the coolness you sometimes see in synthetic versions. The tape comes pre-folded, so you can fold it straight onto your fabric edge and stitch it down.
