Using Bias Binding Tape In Your Sewing

Crafters can use bias tape for a variety of crafts. It is commonly used on the raw edge of fabric to enclose the raw edge and hide it from the naked eye. Therefore, bias tape is often a decorative finish for various quilting and sewing projects.

In addition to being used for quilting and general sewing projects, you will find bias tape in various garments too. Some patterns will ask you to use bias tape instead of facing. With all these uses, bias tape is an essential part of your sewing project, helping you create a polished finish to your piece.

How to Stitch Fabric With Bias Binding Tape

To apply the bias tape to your project, it is recommended to use a sewing machine. Most crafters can sew the bias tape directly, with no adjustments needed to the original product.

Single Fold Bias Binding

If you intend on stitching one side of a single fold bias tape, put the bias tape on the correct side of the fabric. Open the edge of the tape and stitch in the fold of the bias tape. Then, press and turn to get your bias tape on the right side of your fabric. Once placed correctly, stitch the remaining edge of your bias tape on your chosen fabric.

Crafters who want to use bias tape as a facing must open the tape and stitch on the fold on the right side of the fabric. The stitch must also be placed on the right side of the bias tape.

For garments, it is usually best to fold the bias tape over the inside of the garment. Press the tape in place and stitch until the unstitched edge of your bias tape. If you want to make sure the bias tape remains on the inside of the garment, be sure to use under-stitching instead.

Double Fold Bias Binding

There are several methods to stitch a double fold bias. The first method is opening the bias tape and putting the right side on the right side of the fabric (the right side is the side of the fabric visible to the naked eye). Then, open one of the edges of the tap and align it with the seamline. Apply your stitches in the fold line of the tape and press in the finished location for a top stitch.

The second method to stitch a double fold bias tape is recommended for bias tape with uneven edges - for example, when one edge of the tape is a little wider than the other. In this method, use the raw edge and leave the narrow edge upwards. Put the bias tape in the correct place and then carefully sew along the edge of the narrow end. Only sew the edge underneath if everything has been aligned correctly - this can be done with some pins.
