Ribbons And Bindings
2 products
Ribbon and bias binding from £0.69 — for edging, trimming, ties, drawstrings and finishing raw edges neatly.
Using bias tape on curved edges and hems
Fabric cut on the bias stretches naturally along the diagonal weave. This flexibility allows bias binding to bend smoothly around armholes, necklines, and rounded hemlines without puckering or distorting the fabric. Polycotton bias binding, woven from 65% polyester and 35% cotton, features outer edges folded inward to enclose raw margins cleanly.
Selecting the width depends on the scale of your garment or homeware piece:
- 12mm binding: Suitable for narrow neck bindings, delicate collars, and small craft accessories.
- 25mm binding: Provides a wider visual border for quilt edges, blankets, and sturdy apparel seams.
Folded tapes are also available in finished form widths of 18mm or 30mm, with 20 shades on offer to blend quietly with your base material or create a contrasting outline.
Shaping trims with wired edge jute ribbon
Unlike supple bindings intended for apparel seams, wired edge ribbon is engineered to hold structural forms. A 63mm plain burlap jute hessian ribbon introduces a coarse, rustic texture to craft projects, table displays, and wreath decorations. Thin wire run through the outer edges allows you to bend, curve, and position bows or decorative loops that keep their structure without drooping over time.
