There are several reasons why you might want to sew binding on a seam:
Stabilization: Reinforcement:Â Binding can add extra strength to a seam, especially in areas that experience a lot of stress, such as the waistband of a garment or the seams of a quilt. Preventing Stretching:Â It can help prevent seams from stretching or tearing, especially in knit fabrics.
Finishing: Clean Finish:Â Binding can create a clean and professional finish on both sides of the seam, hiding raw edges and preventing fraying. Decorative Element:Â Binding can be used as a decorative element, adding color, texture, or pattern to a project.
