TWILL TAPE/GROSGRAIN TAPE

What is twill tape? You may be familiar with the look of twill fabric but not aware of the many great uses of twill tape. In this blog we will talk about where the name twill comes from and how it has been used over the years and is used now.

Twill tape is used to keep the edges of rugs and carpets from unraveling. It makes a great edge binding for hooked rugs and will cover the tougher edges of a latch-hook rug to finish it beautifully. Traditionally, twill tapes have covered braided oval or circular floor rugs. Twill tapes can also be used on carpet remnants to make a throw rug or a play rug for an area with high traffic. All you must do is fold it around the edges of the fabric and sew it in place by hand. You can also use twill tapes for hemming in a similar way to rug binding. 

Twill tape can be used as snap tape, a by-the-yard strip of set-in snaps. If you don’t happen to have a snap setter, it can be handy for putting in a row of snaps. The twill tape is sturdy enough to withstand the constant pull of opening and closing the snaps.

You can use twill tape for decoration or to add product labels to items you make and sell. The tape functions naturally as an attractive label material.
