BINDING

The binder is used to apply commercial as

well as self-fabric bias to an unfinished edge.

This colourful trim is attractive when

applied to children’s wear, aprons and

household textiles. It is a practical finish for

seam edges that ravel and for making bound

seams.

Inserting the Binding

Commercial single fold bias tape is inserted

from the right into slot in binder scroll.

Cut binding diagonally to

form a long point.

Insert pointed end

into slot and pull

through scroll.

Self-fabric bias binding should be cut

15-16” wide on true bias.

I Insert unfolded binding directly

into opening at end of scroll and

pull through.

As binding passes through scroll, the raw

edges are turned in.
