| EDGE TREATMENTS
|
Bindings - A binding is a strip of fabric, usually bias, used to enclose the
raw edges of a neckline or other areas of a garment. As it is visible on the
right side of the garment as well as on the wrong side, it can be decorative as
well as functional.
|
| |
| 1. The width of the binding is even.
|
2. The binding is securely applied with the appropriate stitch length and
no rippling.
|
3. The binding is suitable in weight, fiber content, care method, and style
to the garment on which it is to be used.
