Reply To: Twill Tape

You can try using some of the selvages or you can make straight-grain tape just like you make bias tape but you you cut it on the straight grain.  You need to turn the edges under since twill tape has woven edges like selvages.  You will get a little more bulk than you get with twill tape because you have to turn the edges under to prevent ravelling.  You could also use a thinner fabric so it’s not as bulky.  It doesn’t curve as well since it’s not as stretchy as twill tape but I have done this when I wanted a certain color.
