Ribbons, Tapes & Trims

The edge, tie or trim that brings it together.

Add a neat binding, a soft drawstring or a colourful accent. Explore bias tape, quilt binding, ribbon, twill tape, ric rac, piping and cording for practical sewing and decorative finishing.

Choosing, using & project ideas
  • Curves or straight edges: Choose a construction suited to the edge you are finishing; compare bias tape with straight tape or ribbon.
  • Open or finished width: Check whether the listed measurement describes an unfolded tape or its folded finish.
  • Plan your quantity: Read whether the listing is sold by the metre, yard or pack before ordering enough for your project.

Try this: Frame a quilt, add piping to a cushion or brighten a pocket edge with a small strip of trim.
