Cotton Bias Binding 20mm

Cotton Bias Binding 20mm Per Metre

Cotton bias binding 20mm is one of the most-used widths in our haberdashery range, wide enough to give a firm, professional finish yet still easy to fold and press by hand or with a bias tape maker. This cotton binding tape is cut on the bias, which lets it stretch slightly around curves without puckering. You order it by the metre, so you only buy what your project actually needs, whether that's a single hem or a full batch for a small production run.

Where 20mm cotton bias binding is used

This width sits comfortably between the narrower and wider options, which makes it a practical default for many sewing tasks. Typical uses include:

Finishing edges: straight or curved seams on garments, bags and home textiles get a clean, durable edge.
Decorative trim: a contrasting colour along a collar, hem or cushion edge adds a visible design detail.
Reinforcing stress points: corners and openings on bags, aprons and cushions hold up better with a bound edge.
Binding quilts: the 20mm width is a common choice for quilt binding, giving enough fabric to fold over both sides.

Other widths in our range

If 20mm isn't quite right for your project, we also stock 12mm cotton bias binding for finer, more delicate finishes, and 30mm cotton bias binding for heavier fabrics or projects that need a wider fold. Comparing widths side by side helps when you're not sure which one suits your fabric weight.

Ordering per metre

You choose the exact length you need and order cotton bias binding by the metre, no fixed rolls or minimum lengths to work around. That's handy whether you're finishing one garment or stocking up for a workshop. Combined with scherpe prijzen and a ruime keuze of colours, it's an easy addition to any sewing basket, for hobby sewers and small businesses alike.

A practical choice for edge finishing

Cotton bias binding 20mm gives you a reliable middle-ground width for hems, quilt edges and decorative trim, cut on the bias so it moves with curved seams instead of fighting them. Order the length you need per metre and pair it, if useful, with our 12mm or 30mm widths for other parts of the same project.

What is cotton bias binding used for?

It's used to finish raw fabric edges neatly, both straight and curved, and to add decorative trim or reinforce stress points on bags, cushions and garments. Quilters also use it to bind the outer edge of a finished quilt.

What width of bias binding should I choose?

20mm works well for most general sewing and quilt binding, giving enough fabric to fold neatly over an edge. Choose 12mm for finer, lightweight finishes, or 30mm when you need extra coverage on thicker fabrics.

Can I order cotton bias binding per metre?

Yes, you order exactly the length you need per metre, with no minimum roll length required. This makes it easy to buy just enough for a single project or more for larger production runs.

Is cotton bias binding pre-folded?

Cotton bias binding is typically supplied flat or pre-folded depending on the batch, ready to be pressed into shape with an iron or bias tape maker before sewing. Check the product details for the specific finish of each colour.

Does bias binding stretch around curves?

Yes, because it's cut on the bias grain of the fabric, it has natural give that lets it curve smoothly around corners and rounded edges without puckering.
