Bias Binding FAQs

Need to know more about our bias binding?

This is the low down of everything you might need to know about a HUGE bias binding collection. From sizing, colours, types of fold to thread colour matches... we'll try to include as much as we can here.

 

 

Do you sell wholesale?

Yes - We sell most of the bias binding in either 5 metre rolls or 25 metre reels. There is a great saving on the reels, usually around 40% off.

For example, the 5 metre rolls of 25mm wide plain bias are £4 each but if you buy a full 25m reel then they are just £10 each.

 

Can I get a shade card?

We have shade cards available for the plain poly-cotton bias binding here:

Can I see a shade card online?

We have a scanned version of the shade card but in all honesty, the card does not scan well at all. You can use this for an idea but for example but we do not recommend using this this colour match. Not only does it not scan well... the colour are likely to look different on your screen to ours.

The colours with a ⭐ are our stock colours - the rest can be ordered in.
