A soft cotton jersey binding tape, with raw edges, pre-fused with stabiliser to provide controlled stretch and reliable shape retention.

Originally suited to applications such as bra upper cup and neckline edges, where fabric needs to remain soft against the skin while resisting stretch and distortion.

This tape offers a balance of gentle flexibility with added stability, making it ideal for finishing edges that would otherwise stretch out or ripple.

Key Features

• Soft cotton jersey outer for comfort
• Fused stabiliser backing for shape control
• No real stretch (max 15%)
• Prevents gaping, rippling, and overstretching
• Slightly structured finish with a clean edge

Specifications

• Width: approx. 20mm
• Length: 4.5 metres per roll
• Colour: Alpine White
• Stretch: under pressure approx. 10cm to 11.5cm
• Recovery: partial (designed for stability, not elasticity)

Ideal Uses

Bra Making (Primary Use)

• Upper cup edge stabilisation
• Neckline edges on non-wired bras
• Comfort bras and full-cup styles
• Soft edge finishing where elastic would be too firm

Garment Sewing

• Sleeve hems and armholes on knit garments
• Pyjamas and lightweight jersey clothing
• Stabilised neckline binding (non-stretch styles)

General Sewing

• Decorative bound edges or soft “piping” effect
• Bag making – zip edges, pouch edging
• Anywhere a stable, non-rippling edge is needed

How to Use

• Fold tape in half lengthwise
• Apply to the fabric edge using an overlocker/serger or stretch stitch
• Use minimal or no stretch when sewing

This tape is designed to control and stabilise, not to gather or pull edges in.

Important Information

• Not suitable for high-stretch applications such as neckbands or cuffs
• Not a replacement for elastic
• Will not provide strong recovery or tension
• Best used where shape retention is required

Comparison to Our Other Tapes
