Jersey Bias Binding 20mm

Jersey Bias Binding 20mm

Jersey Bias Binding 20mm is a stretchy finishing tape made of 94% viscose and 6% elastane, designed to finish the edges of knitted fabrics smoothly and neatly. The binding moves with the fabric and does not pull, which makes it suitable for garment projects where you need stretch. You can order it by the metre or benefit from a wholesale price on a full pack of 25 metres. At Rijs Textiles you will find the binding in an extensive colour range, available for immediate delivery from Tilburg.

What is jersey bias binding and what do you use it for?

Jersey bias binding is an elastic tape you use to finish the edges of stretch fabrics without losing their stretch. Because the binding gives with the fabric, the fit stays intact and seams lie flat. At 20 mm wide, you have enough material for a neat, professional finish without the binding feeling too bulky on thin tricot or jersey.

Applications

• Finishing the edges of tops, dresses and skirts
• Making headbands and accessories
• Neatly finishing quilts and blankets
• Bags and pouches, as a decorative or functional edging

Working with it: from cutting to sewing on

Cut the bias binding to the required length, allowing a little extra for the edge you are finishing. Lightly press the binding, as this makes folding and handling easier. Sew the binding on with a zigzag stitch or stretch stitch, so the stretch is retained and the seam does not tear when worn. Then fold the binding over the edge and secure it on the other side for a crisp finish. Using a ballpoint needle prevents damage to the jersey fibres.

Colours and packaging

The binding is available in 40 colours, from black and shades of grey to blue, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, beige, brown, purple, white and ecru. So you will almost always find a shade that matches your project. Order by the metre for smaller jobs, or choose a full pack of 25 metres if you use bias binding regularly. The discount is applied automatically when you buy a whole pack.
