Cotton Bias Binding 12mm

Cotton Bias Binding 12mm for Neat Seams and Hems
Cotton bias binding 12mm is the narrowest tape in our range, made for finishing work where a bulky edge just won't do. This finishing tape is cut on the bias from woven cotton, which means it curves smoothly around necklines, armholes and other tight corners without puckering. You'll find it useful for garment construction, quilting and light upholstery work alike. We stock it alongside wider options, so you can match the tape to the job rather than the other way round.
Where 12mm Bias Binding Works Best
The narrow width makes this tape suited to detail work rather than heavy-duty edges. Common uses include:
- Seam finishing: binds raw edges on garments and home sewing projects, preventing fraying without adding stiffness.
- Hem finishing: gives skirts, trousers and dresses a clean, folded edge that sits flat.
- Decorative piping and trim: a contrasting colour of bias tape adds a sharp line of detail along collars, cuffs or pockets.
- Edge reinforcement: strengthens the edges of bags, cushions and smaller accessories that see regular wear.
Ordering Cotton Bias Binding by the Metre
You order cotton bias binding 12mm by the metre, so you only buy what the pattern actually calls for. That's handy if you're finishing a single hem or working through a stack of garments for a small production run. Alongside this narrow tape, we also carry 20mm and 30mm cotton bias tape for projects where a wider fold is needed, for example thicker fabrics or edges that take more strain.
A Wide Range for Every Sewing Project
Our assortment covers plenty of colours and widths, so matching the binding to your fabric shouldn't be a problem. Prices stay sharp whether you're a hobby sewist finishing one garment or a small business ordering in bulk for repeat production. Delivery runs from our warehouse in Tilburg, and orders tend to go out quickly once placed.
In Short
Cotton bias binding 12mm gives you a reliable way to finish seams, hems and edges with a clean, professional result. It's narrow enough for detail work but strong enough to hold up under regular use. Combined with our wider 20mm and 30mm options, you'll find the right width for whatever you're making. Take a look through the full range of bias binding and order the length you need.
What is cotton bias binding 12mm used for?
It's mainly used for finishing seams, hems and edges on garments, bags and cushions. The narrow width suits curved edges like necklines and armholes, where a wider tape would cause puckering.
Can I order cotton bias binding per metre?
Yes, you order exactly the length you need, whether that's one metre for a small repair or several metres for a full garment or production run.
What's the difference between 12mm, 20mm and 30mm bias binding?
The number refers to the finished width of the folded tape. 12mm suits fine detail work and lightweight fabrics, while 20mm and 30mm give more coverage for thicker fabrics or edges under more strain.
Is cotton bias binding suitable for quilting?
Yes, cotton bias binding is a common choice for quilt edges and other patchwork projects, since it folds cleanly around corners and layers.
Does the bias binding come in different colours?
Yes, our range includes a wide choice of colours, so you can match the binding to your fabric or use a contrasting shade as a decorative detail.
