Heavyweight Twill Tape – 1.5" Wide Natural Color
(Sold by the Yard)
This heavyweight cotton twill tape is a strong, durable utility tape ideal for sewing, reinforcement, and structured sewing projects. At 1.5 inches wide, it provides excellent support for seams, ties, casings, and reinforcement where extra strength is needed.
Twill tape has been used for generations in garment construction and sewing workrooms because of its tight weave, strength, and flexibility. It is easy to sew, resists stretching, and lays flat without twisting.
This heavyweight version is particularly useful for projects that require more structure and durability than standard lightweight twill tape.
Each order is cut continuously by the yard whenever possible.

Why Use Twill Tape?

What is 1.5" twill tape used for in embroidery?
This 1.5" heavyweight twill tape is commonly sewn to the edges of an embroidery ground fabric so the piece can be mounted on a slate frame for hand embroidery.
How is twill tape used with a slate frame?
The twill tape is first stitched to the sides of the embroidery fabric. A bracing needle and lacing string are then used to lace the tape to the frame bars, allowing the fabric to be tightened evenly across the frame.
Why is twill tape used instead of lacing directly through the fabric?
Twill tape protects the embroidery ground fabric from damage. Lacing through the tape allows the fabric to be tensioned securely without pulling directly on the embroidery fabric.
What types of embroidery use twill tape and slate frames?
Slate frames with twill tape are commonly used in goldwork embroidery, silk shading, crewel work, and other traditional hand embroidery techniques where consistent tension across the fabric is essential.
Why use heavyweight twill tape?
Heavyweight twill tape is strong and durable, allowing the embroidery to be tensioned firmly on the slate frame without stretching or tearing during long stitching sessions.

What I love about ecclesiastical sewing is the quality of their fabrics and the selection of liturgical fabrics that can be hard to find otherwise. I also Like the fact that if there is a question about anything I can email and communicate with a real person not a tangle of phone prompts and artificial voice systems. That’s so refreshing.
