Description
Elastic binding does something woven tape cannot: it gives. So it finishes necklines that must pass over a head, plus leg openings meant to sit close without cutting in.
This binding runs 15 mm wide, made from 85 % polyamide plus 10 % polyethylene plus 5 % lycra. Stitch it by narrow zigzag or overlocker — a straight seam would snap at its first stretch, destroying exactly what you bought this binding for.
Hold it under light tension while sewing, without pulling. Pull hard, then your neckline draws up, standing away while worn.
What Elastic Bias Binding in White is suitable for
- Necklines that must pass over a head.
- Lingerie plus sportswear, where binding should sit close.
- Leg openings across shorts plus leggings.

Frequently asked questions
How do I bind an edge with it?
Lay your binding over that fabric edge so both faces stand out equally, then stitch through in one pass. Clips hold better than pins here, since they never shift layers, keeping your binding from waving.
How much will I need?
Your edge length plus roughly a tenth for corners plus joining. Around curves allow more, because binding lies slightly stretched there, using that allowance faster than expected.
Should I pre-wash this binding?
If it meets fabric that still shrinks, yes. Otherwise your binding draws up differently during that first wash, leaving a wavy edge which never settles again.
What should I do with leftovers?
Keep them, especially across this group. Short pieces still serve loops, hanging tabs, label tabs plus handle reinforcements — anywhere a few centimetres suffice, where cutting a fresh metre would simply go to waste.
