Mandala Crafts 5/8" Double-Fold Bias Tape – 50.3 m Light Grey, Pre-Folded Polyester for Quilting & Hemming

Mandala Crafts 55 yards of 5/8-inch light grey double-fold bias tape is a pre-folded polyester trim designed to finish raw edges, bind curves, and speed up hemming without ironing.

This lightweight, colourfast bias tape is cut on the bias for flexibility and supplied pre-folded to save time during sewing. Made from polyester, it resists shrinking and maintains a matte finish that blends into garments and home sewing projects without the glare of satin trims. The 55-yard spool offers enough continuous length for multiple projects, and the 5/8-inch finished width suits small hems, quilt bindings, and piping needs.

How will this bias tape simplify my sewing workflow?

Because the tape arrives double-folded and shrink-resistant, there’s less pressing and measuring required when applying it to seams and edges. Its stable polyester weave stays flat and predictable, reducing puckering on curves and easing machine or hand stitching. Using pre-folded tape trims the time needed for preparation and makes repetitive binding tasks faster.

• Pre-folded double bias eliminates extra folding steps.
• Shrink-resistant polyester reduces ironing and distortion.
• Consistent 5/8" width for uniform finished edges.
• Continuous 55-yard length minimizes joins and waste.

Will this tape work on curved or bulky fabrics?

The bias-cut structure makes it naturally flexible for smooth curves, and its non-stretch construction provides controlled give for stable edges. It performs well on a range of fabric weights — from cotton and linen to fleece and canvas — and lays neatly around corners and curved seams without ballooning.

• Bias grain allows easy shaping around curves.
• Suitable for lightweight to medium-heavy fabrics.
• Helps prevent puckering on rounded hems and armholes.
• Works with both hand-sewing and machine stitching.

What projects is 5/8" light grey double-fold bias tape best suited for?

The neutral light grey hue blends into many palettes, making it a versatile choice for visible bindings and subtle edge finishes. Its 5/8-inch finished width is ideal for quilt bindings, pillow edges, garment hems, apron trims, and piping on bags or cushions. Because it’s colourfast and washable, it’s a practical trim for everyday items that need laundering.

• Quilt and blanket edge binding for a tidy finish.
• Pillowcases, cushions, and handbag piping accents.
• Apparel hems, necklines, and armhole facings.
• Home decor projects needing a matte, low-sheen trim.

How much tape do I get and how easy is it to use from the spool?

Your spool contains 55 yards (about 50 meters) of continuous double-folded bias tape with a stable, consistent width. The spool design allows straightforward dispensing so you can measure and cut long runs without frequent joins, saving time on larger projects. The tape’s tidy fold and matte finish make aligning and topstitching straightforward whether you’re a beginner or experienced sewer.

• 55 yards per spool reduces the need for seams in long bindings.
• Consistent 16mm (5/8") width across the roll.
• Easy-feed spool format for efficient cutting and application.
• Durable polyester construction stands up to regular washing.
