Twill tape, webbing
These narrow, strong textiles, known as twill tapes or webbing, are versatile helpers in every sewing workshop. Thanks to their firm structure, they can enhance and strengthen any product.
One of their most common applications is using them as drawstrings for hoods and waistbands. Instead of a simple cord, twill tapes give the garment a robust and professional look. Their structure ensures they won't twist or stretch unnecessarily.
Thanks to their durability, they are also ideal for making loops for towels, tea towels, and aprons. These practical handles, which are exposed to daily pulling, require a material that will last. Twill tapes and webbing are the perfect choice for this purpose, as they are easy to sew on and hold their shape.
A less visible but all the more important function is their role as seam reinforcement. When sewing bags, backpacks, or heavily loaded garments, the twill tape is sewn along the seam, which prevents it from unraveling and extends the life of the entire product.
