(Batiste), 100% cotton, satin, lam\u00e9, gingham, elastic and printed.<\/p><p class=\"bye-bx-key-label bye-bx-key-label--2 wp-block-paragraph\">Key points<\/p><ul

are different types, each with a different composition, feel and ideal use.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choosing the right one makes all the difference in the finish of any sewing or garment-making project.<\/strong> In this guide we review the main types of bias binding in the Byetsa catalogue\u2014by material\u2014and help you decide which best fits what you need.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-bias-binding\">What is bias binding?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bias binding <strong>is a strip of fabric cut diagonally, at 45\u00b0 to the grain, used to finish, reinforce and decorate the edges of a garment or piece of work.<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That diagonal cut gives it elasticity and allows it to adapt to curves and contours. From that common base, <a href=\"\/en\/products\/\"><strong>bias binding is manufactured in different materials<\/strong><\/a>, which define each type.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-bias-binding-by-material\">Types of bias binding by material<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the following table we summarise the main types of bias binding you will find in the Byetsa catalogue, with their composition and the use for which each works best, so you can compare all the options at a glance and easily choose the most suitable for your sewing, garment-making or decoration project:<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-table-wrap\"><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"bye-bx-table\"><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Type of bias binding<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Composition<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Ideal use<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Cotton-polyester (Batiste)<\/strong><\/td><td>50% cotton \/ 50% polyester<\/td><td>Silky and versatile feel; garment-making and decoration.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>100% cotton<\/strong><\/td><td>Natural cotton<\/td><td>Daily use, childcare products and textile industry.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Satin<\/strong><\/td><td>100% polyester<\/td><td>Fashion and elegant finishes (collars, cuffs); +80 colours.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lam\u00e9<\/strong><\/td><td>70% polyester \/ 30% lam\u00e9<\/td><td>Festive details with metallic shine (gold, silver, bronze).<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Gingham<\/strong><\/td><td>Cotton<\/td><td>Classic check, mini-check and stripe style; home and children's.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Elastic<\/strong><\/td><td>97% cotton \/ 3% elastane<\/td><td>Garments that need to give and adapt.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Printed<\/strong><\/td><td>Cotton (often organic)<\/td><td>+250 designs; children's and decorative products.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cotton-polyester-bias-batiste\">Cotton-polyester bias (Batiste)<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Known as <a href=\"\/en\/cotton-and-polyester-bias-bindings\/\">Batiste<\/a>, it combines 50% cotton and 50% polyester.

For garment-making and daily use, cotton and Batiste are the safe bet; for fashion and elegant details, satin; for children\u2019s garments and <a href=\"\/en\/household\/\">home textiles<\/a>, gingham and printed; for garments that give, elastic; and for festive details, lam\u00e9. From there, the width (12, 18, 25 or 30 mm) and colour complete the choice for the project.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-bias-in-sewing-most-common-uses\">Types of bias in sewing: most common uses<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In sewing, each type of bias fulfils a function according to the garment or the work. Cotton and Batiste bias bindings <strong>are used to finish and reinforce edges on clothing and accessories for daily use<\/strong>; satin, for <strong>visible and elegant finishes;<\/strong> gingham and printed, <strong>as a decorative resource in children\u2019s clothing,<\/strong> tablecloths and home projects; and elastic, to <strong>finish sportswear<\/strong> or lingerie that needs stretch. Knowing these uses helps to choose the right bias for each sewing project.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-bias-according-to-finish-flat-folded-and-piping\">Types of bias according to finish: flat, folded and piping<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to material, bias binding is classified by its finish. Flat (or cut) bias is the unfolded strip, widely used in the garment-making industry.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Folded (or pleated) bias <strong>arrives already folded at its edges and ready to sew, ideal for fashion and home.<\/strong> And piping or passepoil is a variant that incorporates an inner cord that protrudes as a decorative relief profile. <strong>Choosing the right finish is as important as choosing the material.<\/strong><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-type-of-bias-to-choose-according-to-sector\">What type of bias to choose according to sector<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each sector tends to prioritise specific types of bias according to their needs:<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-table-wrap\"><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"bye-bx-table\"><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Sector<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Recommended bias types<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Fashion and garment-making<\/strong><\/td><td>Satin, Batiste and cotton for finishes; lam\u00e9 for party details.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Childcare products<\/strong><\/td><td>100% cotton, gingham and printed, many in organic cotton.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Home textiles<\/strong><\/td><td>Gingham, printed and cotton for curtains, cushions and table linens.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Industry<\/strong><\/td><td>Cotton-polyester (Batiste) and elastic, and custom technical tapes.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sport and fitted garments<\/strong><\/td><td>Elastic bias for its ability to give.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"custom-bias-your-own-type-of-bias-binding\">Custom bias: your own type of bias binding<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If none of the standard types fits a project, at Byetsa we manufacture custom bias: we adjust the material, width (from a minimum of 6 mm to the entire piece) and finish to each customer\u2019s specifications. It is the option for special garment-making, industrial series or specific needs that require a type of tape not in the general catalogue.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mistakes-when-choosing-the-type-of-bias-binding\">Mistakes when choosing the type of bias binding<\/h3><ul class=\"bye-bx-list wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Focusing only on colour:<\/strong> the material determines feel and resistance as much as appearance.<\/li><li><strong>Using satin where cotton is needed:<\/strong> each type has its use; satin looks good, but cotton is more practical for daily use.<\/li><li><strong>Ignoring elasticity:<\/strong> for garments that give you need to use elastic bias, not a rigid one.<\/li><li><strong>Not thinking about width:<\/strong> the same type changes the result a lot depending on the chosen measurement.<\/li><\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-figure bye-bx-art-fig\"><img src=\"https:\/\/byetsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bieses-bloom.webp\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"BLOOM bias bindings\"><\/figure><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advantages-of-choosing-the-right-type-of-bias\">Advantages of choosing the right type of bias<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting the type of bias binding right is not an aesthetic whim: <strong>it directly influences the result and durability of the project.<\/strong> A bias of the right material sews better, withstands washing better, maintains colour and offers the feel that the end customer expects.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing wrongly, on the other hand, <strong>can result in finishes that fray, pull or clash with the garment<\/strong>. Taking a moment to choose the right type saves rework and improves the perceived quality of the garment-making.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"colours-prints-and-customization\">Colours, prints and customisation<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond material, each type of bias offers its own range of colours and finishes. Satin exceeds eighty colours; printed brings together more than 250 designs, many in organic cotton; gingham plays with checks, mini-checks and stripes; and lam\u00e9 adds metallic shines. Added to this is the possibility of customisation: at Byetsa we can adapt colours and prints to each customer\u2019s needs, something especially useful for brands seeking a differentiated product.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-group bye-bx-figure bye-bx-art-fig\"><img src=\"https:\/\/byetsa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bies-bloom-1.webp\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Buy bias tape\"><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"byetsa-manufacturer-of-all-types-of-bias-binding-since-1969\">Byetsa, manufacturer of all types of bias binding since 1969<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Byetsa we manufacture the entire range of types of bias binding\u2014cotton, cotton-polyester (Batiste), satin, lam\u00e9, gingham, elastic and printed\u2014with over half a century of experience. We control the process from start to finish, which allows us to guarantee the quality of each type and offer advice to choose the most suitable for each project, both in haberdashery and in industry.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-each-type-of-bias-binding-is-manufactured\">How each type of bias binding is manufactured<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All types of bias binding start from the same principle: <strong>cutting the fabric diagonally, at 45\u00b0 to the grain,<\/strong> to take advantage of its elasticity.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, each type is made with its specific fabric \u2014<strong>cotton, polyester, blends, lam\u00e9, or elastic fabrics<\/strong>\u2014 and cut into very narrow strips, with the fibres always at 45\u00b0 to the length of the strip.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Byetsa, this cut is studied to the millimetre, which guarantees uniform width and a homogeneous finish for each type, both in small orders and large series.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-best-selling-types-of-bias\">The best-selling types of bias<\/h4><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the choice depends on the project, some types concentrate most of the demand. Cotton bias and Batiste lead for their versatility and price; satin stands out in fashion for its shine and wide colour range; and gingham and printed are the favourites in childcare products and home for their decorative character. Keeping these types in mind helps to guide both purchasing and a shop\u2019s stock.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-for-combining-types-of-bias\">Tips for combining types of bias<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combining different types of bias in the same project is a widely used resource in garment-making and decoration. A common trick is to finish with a plain cotton bias and reserve a gingham or printed for the detail you want to highlight, or play with the contrast between a shiny satin and a matte fabric. When mixing types it is advisable to ensure they share a similar washing care, so that the whole ages uniformly, and maintain a colour coherence that gives a sense of considered finish.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bias-a-staple-that-never-goes-out-of-fashion\">Bias, a staple that never goes out of fashion<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the type, bias binding is one of those products that remains current decade after decade. Materials and prints evolve and new colour ranges appear, but the function and essence of bias remain.
