Polycotton bias binding is a strip of fabric cut on the bias, which gives it natural stretch and flexibility. This makes it ideal for sewing around curves, corners and shaped edges where standard binding tape can feel too firm or structured.

The polycotton blend combines the softness of cotton with the durability of polyester, giving you a binding that is easy to handle, holds its shape beautifully and wears well over time.

Why Bag Makers Love Bias Binding

Bias binding is a go-to for many bag makers when they want a neat, professional finish on the inside of their bags.

It’s especially useful for:

• Covering raw seams inside bags
• Binding curved edges and rounded corners
• Finishing internal seams in unlined bags
• Adding a clean, decorative edge detail

The flexibility of bias binding makes it much easier to work with compared to standard binding tape when your project includes curves or thicker seam allowances.

Perfect for Bag Making Projects

Polycotton bias binding is a versatile addition to your sewing supplies and works beautifully across a wide range of bag making styles.

Use it for:

• Tote bags and everyday handbags
• Backpacks and travel bags
