I've got a pattern for a tent, and it says to sew binding tape to the roof seam. I assume this is bias binding tape, to give the seam strength.


Bias tape is stretchy, and not particularly strong. What type of tape does the pattern/instructions ask for? If it says 'seam binding tape' this is NOT bias binding.

He didn't even say "bias". I extrapolated that. just said binding tape.
