Edging tape, also known as bias tape or seam binding, is a narrow strip of fabric used to finish the raw edges of garments, linens, and other textile products. It is a versatile material that can be used for various purposes, including:
Preventing fraying and unraveling of fabric edges
Adding decorative details to garments
li>Reinforcing seams and adding durability

If you are new to using edging tape, don't worry! It is a relatively simple process that can be completed with a few basic tools. Here are the steps on how to use edging tape for your clothes:

Materials you'll need:

Edging tape in the desired color and width
Fabric scissors
Iron and ironing board
Optional: sewing machine or fabric glue

Instructions:
Prepare the edging tape: Cut a piece of edging tape that is long enough to cover the entire edge you want to finish. If you are using pre-folded edging tape, unfold it to its full width.
Fold the edging tape over the edge of the fabric: Align the raw edge of the edging tape with the raw edge of the fabric, and fold it over the fabric so that the folded edge of the tape extends beyond the edge of the fabric by about 1/4 inch.
Iron the edging tape in place: Use a warm iron to press the edging tape onto the fabric. This will help to secure the tape in place and create a smooth finish.
Fold the raw edge of the fabric over the edging tape: Fold the raw edge of the fabric over the edging tape, so that it covers the folded edge of the tape. This will create a clean and finished look.
Iron the fabric in place: Use a warm iron to press the fabric in place. This will help to set the edging tape and prevent it from fraying.
Secure the edging tape (optional): For added durability, you can sew the edging tape in place using a sewing machine. Alternatively, you can use fabric glue to secure the tape.

Tips:
Use a narrow edging tape for delicate fabrics and a wider edging tape for heavier fabrics.
If you are using a sewing machine to secure the edging tape, use a zigzag stitch to prevent the stitches from breaking.
Trim any excess edging tape at the ends.
For a more decorative finish, you can use a decorative edging tape with a lace or frill detail.

Using edging tape for your clothes is a great way to add a professional and finished look to your garments. With a few simple steps, you can easily prevent fraying, reinforce seams, and add decorative details to your clothes.
