Frequently Asked Questions

What is bias tape?

Bias tape is fabric strip cut on the 45-degree bias grain instead of the straight grain. Cutting on the bias lets the fabric fibers stretch more, which gives the tape flexibility around curves — ideal for necklines, armholes, and other curved seams, as well as garments and hair bows.

What's the difference between bias tape and quilt binding?

Double-fold bias tape (this product) is cut on the bias and folded in half twice; the width listed is the FINISHED width after both folds. Bessie Pearl also makes a separate bias quilt binding style, cut wider and folded only once — this listing is the double-fold tape, not that quilt-binding format.

What is this binding made of?

100% quilting-weight cotton, per the maker (Bessie Pearl Binding Co) — the same weight cotton used in quilting fabric, chosen to hold up as long as the quilts and garments it finishes.

Is this pre-folded and ready to use?

Yes. It's double-fold (folded in half, then in half again) with mitered seams already sewn in, so it's ready to stitch straight off the spool — no pressing or piecing needed.

How is this sold, and can I return it once cut?

It's sold by the yard — order exactly the length your project needs. Because it's cut to order specifically for you, cut-to-measure orders are final and not eligible for return once cut.
