It combines the ease of pre-folded tape with the durability of polyester, so you get smooth curves, crisp edges, and a flat, professional look whether you sew by hand or machine. The gold tone provides a decorative accent for apparel, accessories, and interiors while resisting fading through washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this bias tape save time during sewing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tape arrives double-folded and ready to apply, removing the step of folding and much of the ironing often required for single-fold or fusible tapes. Its shrink-resistant polyester construction keeps the width consistent so you don't spend time trimming or re-pressing seams mid-project. That makes edge finishing faster and more predictable, especially on long runs like quilt bindings or garment hems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-folded double bias tape — no manual folding required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShrink-resistant polyester — maintains consistent width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e55-yard spool — fewer reel changes for large projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks equally well with hand-stitching or sewing machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat fabrics and projects work best with this gold trim?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis bias tape is versatile with many fabric types: cotton, polyester, fleece, denim, canvas, linen and even some leathers.
