The reference standard for seams is ISO 4916:1991.<\/p><p class=\"bye-bx-key-label bye-bx-key-label--2 wp-block-paragraph\">Key points<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>ISO 4916:1991 replaces the old basic classification with eight main types of seam.<\/li><li>Bound seams fold the binding over the edge and give a clean finish, suitable for shirt necklines.<\/li><li>Flat seams butt the edges together without overlapping them and reduce bulk in underwear and corsetry.<\/li><li>Edge-finishing seams need elastic bias binding to follow curves without distorting the material.<\/li><li>Quality depends on size, seam slippage strength and seam strength, as well as on the thread and the bias binding.<\/li><\/ul><\/section><div class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-art-content\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-bias-tape-sewing-most-commonly-used-today\">Types of bias tape seams most commonly used today<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve a quality finish, regardless of the <strong>type of bias binding seam<\/strong> used, it is essential to have top-quality bias tapes.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <a href=\"\/en\/\"><strong>Byetsa<\/strong><\/a>, we have been specialising in bias tape manufacturing for over fifty years, and we know perfectly well what characteristics a bias tape must have to be of good quality.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have two basic product lines: Fany and Byor, to meet existing market needs across various sectors such as <a href=\"\/en\/household\/\"><strong>home<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/fashion\/\"><strong>fashion<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/consumer\/\"><strong>consumer goods<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"\/en\/custom-printed-bias-ribbons\/\"><strong>packaging<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"\/en\/industry\/\"><strong>industry<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have a catalogue of over 7,000 references, ranging from classic designs to the most current ones. And not only that, but we also offer our customers <strong>the possibility of manufacturing fully customised bias tapes.<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is no coincidence that our tapes meet the quality standards of ISO regulations for all <strong>types of bias binding seams:<\/strong> Byetsa\u2019s commitment to quality is unquestionable.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-bias-sewing-what-are-they-and-how-are-they-classifi\">Types of bias binding seams: what are they and how are they classified?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before delving into the <strong>various categories of bias binding seams<\/strong>, it is essential to understand the nature and function of seams. First, let\u2019s define the term: a seam is the result of joining two or more pieces of fabric, leather or other materials through consecutive stitches.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These joins are essential in the world of design and garment making, and the <strong>versatility of Byetsa bias tapes<\/strong> is such that it caters to the demands of an impressive variety of sectors and industries.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quality seam should not only be aesthetically pleasing but also functional and durable. In this regard, it is crucial to adhere to international standards, particularly <strong>the ISO 4916:1991 standard<\/strong>.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas before this standard seams were categorised in a more basic way \u2013 such as flat, overlapped, stitched and edge-finished \u2013 the modern classification has evolved and become more comprehensive. It now includes <strong>eight main types of seam<\/strong>, which we will analyze in detail below.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"top-stitching-seams\">Superimposed seams<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Superimposed seams are a classic method in the world of garment making, where two or more pieces of material are overlapped before being joined. This technique involves sewing close to the edge, <strong>often using one or multiple rows of stitches, depending on the design need and desired durability.<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of stitching is highly appreciated for the neat and clean finish it provides, and it is especially popular in delicate garments like lingerie.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, it is a common choice for T-shirts and other garments seeking a subtle and tidy finish without any bumps or rough edges in the seams. The choice of thread and sewing technique can vary depending on the material and the specific application of the garment.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lapped-seams\">Lapped seams<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In lapped seams, two or more materials are overlapped and joined together with one or more rows of stitches. Within this type of seam, there are several options:<\/p><ul class=\"bye-bx-list wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Flat:<\/strong> A strong seam with fabric edges, commonly used to reinforce jeans or garments prone to fraying.<\/li><li><strong>French:<\/strong> Used for rainwear, jackets and dresses.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-imgrow bye-bx-imgrow--2\"><figure class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-figure bye-bx-art-fig\"><img src=\"https:\/\/byetsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Suede-Adv-Image-600x400-1.webp\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Suede bias binding\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-figure bye-bx-art-fig\"><img src=\"https:\/\/byetsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/cinta-al-bies-con-puntilla-3-600x429-1.webp\" width=\"600\" height=\"429\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Types of bias tape with lace: What can Byetsa offer you?\"><\/figure><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bonded-seams\">Bound seams<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bound seams are a refined technique that <strong>involves folding a binding strip over the edge of the material pieces to be joined<\/strong>. This technique not only provides a strong bond but also an aesthetic finish.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the binding strip is properly folded, both edges of it are stitched to the material using one or more rows of stitching, ensuring a perfect and uniform seal.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is a clean and neat edge that, due to its beauty and precision, <strong>can be left exposed without fear of it detracting from the garment<\/strong>. This type of stitching is especially appreciated in details like shirt necklines, where presentation and finish are paramount.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"flat-seams\">Flat seams<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flat seams are a <strong>special sewing technique where two fabric edges are aligned and joined through meticulously placed stitches<\/strong>. Instead of overlapping the edges as in other techniques, they are butted together, meaning they are placed side by side in a straight line and then stitched.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This technique is essential in garments where minimising volume or thickness is crucial, such as in underwear or corsetry. By using flat seams, a smooth and flat junction is achieved, allowing the fabric to sit properly, avoiding discomfort or unwanted bulges, and providing the garment with a professional and comfortable finish for the wearer.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-imgrow bye-bx-imgrow--2\"><figure class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-figure bye-bx-art-fig\"><img src=\"https:\/\/byetsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Cinta-al-bies-industrial-1-600x432-1.webp\" width=\"600\" height=\"432\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Industrial bias binding 1\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-figure bye-bx-art-fig\"><img src=\"https:\/\/byetsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/que_tenen_d_especial_biaixos_elastics-600x423-1.webp\" width=\"600\" height=\"423\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Catalogue of coloured elastic bias bindings\"><\/figure><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"decorative-sewing\">Decorative seams<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Decorative or ornamental seams represent a distinct category of bias binding seams, serving <strong>not only as a functional means of joining but also as an added aesthetic element.<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these sewing techniques, the edges are embellished and protected through overcast stitches, providing an elegant and intricate finish. Their primary purpose is to provide refined edge finishes and they are often the preferred choice for creating polished hems or those \u201cinvisible\u201d hems that are essential <strong>in garments where seams should not be visible<\/strong>, such as in fly fronts or inner linings.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These seams not only ensure the durability of the garment but also enhance its appearance, making it a piece of both aesthetic and functional design.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"edging-seams\">Edge-finishing seams<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edge-finishing seams <strong>are a particularly delicate and detailed technique that involves a series of meticulous stitches executed along a predefined line<\/strong> or following an intricate ornamental pattern on a fold of the fabric. This approach allows the design to stand out, imparting distinctive texture and aesthetics to the garment.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes this type of seam particularly unique is the need for <a href=\"\/en\/elastic-bias-binding\/\">elastic bias tape<\/a>, as it provides the required flexibility for the stitches to conform without distorting the material.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the inherent elasticity of bias tape, edge-finishing seams can embrace curves and contours, achieving a finish that combines beauty with functionality in garment making. It\u2019s a technique that highlights both the skill of the seamstress and the versatile properties of the bias tape used.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"articles-that-might-interest-you\">Articles that might interest you:<\/h3><ul class=\"bye-bx-list wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"\/en\/blog\/bias-tapes-where-to-buy\/\">A small tour of our warehouse with thousands of different fabrics at your disposal<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"\/en\/blog\/bieses-and-haberdashery-ribbons\/\">Our FANY product line: Tired of always having the same bias bindings in your haberdashery?<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"\/en\/blog\/wholesale-bias\/\">Our BIOR product line for industry: why choose us as your wholesale bias binding supplier?<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"\/en\/blog\/straight-grain-binding-tape\/\">How to make bias tape, and what can Byetsa offer you?<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"\/en\/blog\/bias-binding-tape-for-towel\/\">Bias tape for towels: here are some suggestions that might interest you this summer<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"joining-separate-elements\">Joining separate elements<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technique of joining separate elements <strong>is a speciality within the sewing world that focuses on the precise connection of pieces that are initially separate<\/strong>. To achieve this union effectively and ensure its durability and flexibility, it is essential to incorporate additional components on the edges of the pieces to be joined.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most common examples of these components is <strong>elastic tapes<\/strong>, which not only facilitate the joining but also provide adaptability to the material, allowing it to stretch and retract without compromising the seam\u2019s structure.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This technique is <strong>ideal for garments or items that require a certain degree of mobility or flexibility in their joints<\/strong>, ensuring that the finish is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. It\u2019s a method that combines skill, precision, and the use of high-quality materials to achieve optimal results.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"simple-construction\">Simple construction<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simple construction <strong>is a sewing technique that, despite its name, requires precision and care.<\/strong> In it, a <strong>single piece of fabric is folded or manipulated in such a way that it creates two well-defined edges.<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method is particularly useful in creating elements such as <strong>loops<\/strong>, which require a clean and durable finish despite their simplicity. It is one of the fundamental techniques in sewing, as it serves as the basis for many other types of more complex constructions.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it may seem simple, achieving a professional and durable finish requires the correct choice of fabric and meticulous execution, ensuring that the piece retains its shape and function over time. It is undoubtedly a testament to how the basics can be essential in the world of design and garment making.<\/p><aside class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-readalso\" aria-label=\"See also\"><p class=\"bye-bx-ra-label wp-block-paragraph\">See also<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"\/en\/blog\/bias-cut\/\"><span class=\"bye-bx-ra-tag\">Technical guides<\/span>What is bias cutting, and how do we do it at Byetsa?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/en\/blog\/bias-binding-with-cord\/\"><span class=\"bye-bx-ra-tag\">Technical guides<\/span>Buy corded bias tape: our options in Vichy, lam\u00e9 or satin<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/aside><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-does-the-quality-of-bias-seam-types-depend-on\">What does the quality of bias binding seams depend on?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quality of bias binding seams is not an aspect that should be taken lightly, as it is crucial to ensure the durability, aesthetics and functionality of a manufactured piece. Several factors play a vital role in determining this quality, the most relevant being:<\/p><ul class=\"bye-bx-list wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Seam size.<\/strong> It is essential to ensure that the fabrics are joined correctly. It is measured considering various parameters, such as:<\/li><li><strong>Seam slippage strength.<\/strong> This feature is vital to ensure that the stitching stays firm and does not come undone easily. It refers to the amount of force needed to displace or remove \u00bc of the opposing sets of threads in a direction perpendicular to the sewing line. A high-quality seam will require significant force to perform such displacement.<\/li><li><strong>Seam strength.<\/strong> This parameter indicates the robustness of the union. It specifically refers to the amount of force that must be applied to open or break the seam. A high-quality seam will be strong and able to withstand stresses and loads without giving way.<\/li><\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-figure bye-bx-art-fig\"><img src=\"https:\/\/byetsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/proveedores-nacionales.webp\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"by\"><\/figure><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, although these three elements are essential, it is also vital to consider the type of thread used, the sewing technique used and the quality of the bias binding itself. All these variables, when managed properly, contribute to the production of high-quality and durable garments and textile products.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contact-byetsa-to-get-high-quality-bias-bindings\">Contact Byetsa to get high quality bias bindings<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Byetsa<\/strong> is committed to offering solutions and answers to all your concerns.

It involves folding the binding strip over the edge of the pieces and joining both edges to the material with one or more rows of stitching. The result is a clean, even edge that can be left exposed without spoiling the garment, which is why it is especially valued on shirt necklines.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details\"><summary><span class=\"bye-q\">02<\/span><h3 class=\"bye-bx-faq-q\">What type of bias binding do I need for an edge-finishing seam that follows curves?<\/h3><span class=\"bye-ico\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-group bye-a\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An edge-finishing seam requires elastic bias binding. This technique places stitches along a defined line or ornamental pattern on a fold of the material, and the stretch of the bias binding allows the stitches to hug curves and contours without distorting the piece. A rigid bias binding would not offer that ability to adapt.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details\"><summary><span class=\"bye-q\">03<\/span><h3 class=\"bye-bx-faq-q\">Which seam reduces bulk in lingerie and corsetry?<\/h3><span class=\"bye-ico\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-group bye-a\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flat seam is the most suitable when bulk needs to be kept to a minimum. The fabric edges are not overlapped but placed together in a straight line and sewn, giving a smooth join with no ridges. For lingerie and T-shirts, the superimposed seam is also used, valued for its neat finish without rough edges.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details class=\"wp-block-details\"><summary><span class=\"bye-q\">04<\/span><h3 class=\"bye-bx-faq-q\">How is the strength of a seam made with bias binding measured?<\/h3><span class=\"bye-ico\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-group bye-a\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two parameters are mainly assessed. Seam slippage strength indicates the force needed to displace \u00bc of the opposing sets of threads in a direction perpendicular to the seam line.

It involves folding the binding strip over the edge of the pieces and joining both edges to the material with one or more rows of stitching. The result is a clean, even edge that can be left exposed without spoiling the garment, which is why it is especially valued on shirt necklines.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What type of bias binding do I need for an edge-finishing seam that follows curves?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"An edge-finishing seam requires elastic bias binding. This technique places stitches along a defined line or ornamental pattern on a fold of the material, and the stretch of the bias binding allows the stitches to hug curves and contours without distorting the piece. A rigid bias binding would not offer that ability to adapt.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Which seam reduces bulk in lingerie and corsetry?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The flat seam is the most suitable when bulk needs to be kept to a minimum. The fabric edges are not overlapped but placed together in a straight line and sewn, giving a smooth join with no ridges. For lingerie and T-shirts, the superimposed seam is also used, valued for its neat finish without rough edges.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How is the strength of a seam made with bias binding measured?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Two parameters are mainly assessed. Seam slippage strength indicates the force needed to displace \u00bc of the opposing sets of threads in a direction perpendicular to the seam line. Seam strength measures the force needed to open or break the join. The type of thread, the technique used and the quality of the bias binding itself also play a part.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can Byetsa make custom bias binding for a specific production run?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes.
