Light Stretch Bias Binding Tape – 97% Cotton 3% Elastane – Giddy Square

Description

Premium light stretch bias binding tape made from a 97% cotton and 3% elastane blend — the slight stretch makes it ideal for binding curved edges on garments, swimwear, activewear and quilts where a pure cotton tape would pucker or resist.

Pre-folded with a smooth, fine finish, it stitches neatly by hand or machine and recovers its shape after washing. Available in 18 colours, two widths (18mm and 30mm) and three lengths.

Why choose light stretch bias binding?

• 97% cotton / 3% elastane — the elastane gives gentle stretch and recovery without bulk; the cotton keeps the texture soft and natural
• Smooth premium handle — very fine, smooth texture that feeds cleanly through a machine and sits flat after pressing
• Two widths — 18mm for finer garments, delicate necklines and lightweight fabrics; 30mm for wider bindings, quilt edges and more coverage
• Solid colour throughout — consistent colour on both sides; matched to the shade name
• One continuous length — supplied uncut in 3m, 5m or 10m; no joins
• Easy care — machine washable at 40°C

What is stretch bias binding best for?

The stretch content makes this binding particularly well suited to curved necklines, armholes, leg openings on swimwear and activewear, and any application where the binding needs to follow a curve without distorting the fabric. It also works beautifully on quilts and soft furnishings where comfort and drape matter.

Material: 97% cotton, 3% elastane. Available widths: 18mm and 30mm (folded). Machine washable 40°C.
