Cotton Twill Ribbon

Cotton Twill Ribbon by the Metre

Cotton twill ribbon is a firm, non-elastic tape woven with the diagonal ribs typical of twill binding. We stock it in a range of widths, sold by the metre or in economical 50-metre rolls for regular users. The tight weave gives this ribbon real strength, which is why it turns up in garment construction, bag making and finishing work across sewing workshops. Whether you need a metre for a repair or a full roll for production, the twill tape is cut to order and shipped from our warehouse in Tilburg.

What is cotton twill tape used for

The rib pattern that gives twill tape its name also gives it body. Sewists use it to reinforce shoulder seams and jacket edges, where a plain ribbon would stretch or sag over time. It works equally well for making fabric loops, hanging tabs and bag hinges, since the weave holds its shape under repeated pulling. Bookbinders and upholsterers reach for it too, binding raw edges that would otherwise fray. Because the tape doesn't give, it's a practical choice anywhere you need a strap or edge that stays put.

• Reinforcing jacket and coat seams
• Making straps, loops and hanging tabs
• Bag hinges and handle attachments
• Binding straight fabric edges
• Apron ties and waistband finishing
• Bookbinding and upholstery trims

Widths and sizes

Twill ribbon comes in a handful of standard widths, each suited to slightly different jobs. Our Cotton Twill Ribbon 15mm is a good fit for lighter reinforcement work and narrower loops, where a bulkier tape would look out of place. The Cotton Twill Ribbon 25mm handles heavier-duty tasks such as bag straps and seam reinforcement on outerwear, where extra width means extra hold. Picking the right width mostly comes down to what the ribbon needs to carry or bind.

Ordering per metre or per roll

You can order exactly the length you need, from a single metre up to a full 50-metre roll. That flexibility suits both the home sewist patching up a jacket and workshops running production batches where twill tape gets used up quickly. Buying the full roll usually works out cheaper per metre, so it's worth considering if you go through this tape regularly. Our haberdashery range sits alongside other trims and closures, making it easy to combine twill tape with matching hardware in one order.
