What is Centre Fold Bias Tape Used For?

Centre fold bias is a strip of fabric that’s cut on the bias or diagonally across the material, giving it just the right amount of flexibility and stretch to glide smoothly around the curved edges. The defining feature of this tape is that it comes folded down in the middle, so it’s quicker and easier to use for both beginners and pros.

If you’re a dressmaker, centre fold bias tapes are ideal for finishing armholes, necklines, hems, and inner seams. They offer a streamlined finish that hugs the fabric neatly, adding to the overall look and feel. These tapes are also often used in children’s clothing and accessories, where softness and structure are equally important.

Beyond garments, centre-fold bias tape is popular for home décor and craft projects - for example, you can use it to add a decorative and functional edge to tote bags, aprons, cushions and quilts. Since it comes pre-folded, you’ll spend less time prepping and more time bringing your creations to life. 

At Realm Wholesale, we offer centre-fold bias tapes in a variety of colours to match or add contrast to your fabrics. Shop with us now.

How to Use Centre Fold Bias Tape

Centre bold bias tape is very user-friendly, so it’s a good material for beginners. If you’re using it for the first time, follow these steps and you won’t go wrong.

1. Cut the tape slightly longer than the edges you want to bind to allow for overlap.

2. Open one folded edge and place the right sides together with the fabric edge. 

3. Stitch along the crease of the open edge to attach it securely.

4. Fold the tape over the edge now and enclose the fabric inside it.

5. Tuck in the remaining edge and topstitch close to the fold for a neat finish.

6. Press the edge with an iron to flatten it and give it a polished finish.
