Has anyone used this instead of bias tape? I've found someone that sells it for a great price on ebay but I'm no sure how it'd work because I've never used it. I'd be using it mostly on aprons.
If you don't know what this is it's pretty much just like bias tape except it's not cut on the bias.

Hey Georgann, I was wondering if you'd gotten a chance to try the straight grain tape out?

Hmmm...I might make some straight grain and see how it works. I'll let you know.

Thanks for sharing that information ladies! I kind of figured that was how it worked but I figured I'd see if anyone with a little more experience with the stuff would have :)

Kathy is right. I can't see it working on any curve without causing it to curl. You could use it for square corners, however, by applying as a folded miter, like you would apply to a quilt edge.

I have used straight grain tape for reinforcement on stretchy seams. I don't know how it would be on aprons if there was any kind of curve involved as it won't conform like bias does. As a straight trim it would probably be fine.
