Satin Bias Binding

Satin bias binding finishes edges with a sheen. It suits occasion wear, lingerie, blankets and decoration – wherever an edge should look not just neat but refined.

Satin is smoother and softer than cotton. The binding therefore wraps around curves particularly smoothly, but also slips more easily while sewing.

Clips instead of pins and a fine needle help. Pins leave visible holes in satin that do not disappear – so pin only within the seam allowance.

The cut edges fray badly. Seal the start and end with a flame if the binding is polyester, or fold it over and stitch it down.

Press only at low temperature and with a cloth in between. Satin otherwise develops shiny marks that cannot be removed.

Frequently asked questions

Why does satin binding slip while sewing?

Because the surface is smooth and offers little friction. Clips, a fine needle and slow sewing keep it in place; a walking foot helps as well.

How do I seal the ends?

With polyester satin a brief touch of flame is enough. With cotton satin, fold the end over and stitch it, or it frays within a short time.

Is satin binding suitable for baby blankets?

Yes, that is a classic use. Choose a soft quality and stitch the edge down securely all round so nothing works loose and no thread can catch.
