Binder Tape: A beginner guide
You might wonder what binder tape is and what it is used for. In this article, let’s find out more details about binder tape by checking ApparelX popular binder tape!
What is binder tape?
It is an excellent product that allows fabric edges to be sandwiched evenly between the front and back sides of the fabric and neatly trimmed.
For example, if you want to sandwich fabric in a 9 x 9 mm size, you would use 9 mm on the front side and 9 mm on the back side.
