Fold Over Elastic for Bag Binding

What is fold over elastic and why do bag makers love it?

Fold over elastic, or FOE, is a stretchy binding tape with a pre-creased centre line that folds cleanly over raw edges to finish them in a single pass. It's become a staple in bag making for finishing mesh pockets, slip pockets, zip pocket edges, and any interior detail where a clean, professional finish matters.

Colour-coordinated for your whole project

One of the things bag makers love most about our FOE is that the colours are matched directly to our DayFlex bonded fabric, water-resistant canvas, and zipper tape collections. No more hunting for something that almost matches. Pick your project fabric, grab the matching FOE, and your whole bag coordinates from the inside out.

New to FOE? It works on your domestic machine with a straight stitch – no special foot required.
