Description
Jersey bias binding carries one advantage over woven tape: it stretches. So it lies around necklines plus armholes without throwing folds, which is exactly where woven binding keeps failing.
Each length measures 3 m, made from 6 % elastane plus 94 % viscose. That covers one neckline along with both armholes, often two shirts. Both edges come turned already, so nothing wants pressing before you start.
While stitching, hold your binding under slight tension, never pulling — otherwise your neckline draws up. Clips hold layers better than pins.
What Jersey Bias Binding, Folded in Grey Marl, 3 m is suitable for
- Necklines on shirts, where jersey binding follows every curve.
- Armholes on sleeveless pieces, where clean edges count.
- Coloured accents along inner edges, flashing while worn.

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.
