Bibbing and banding folders for banded edges and openings.
The bibbing and banding category
What a bibbing and banding folder does.
A bibbing and banding folder forms and applies a band to an opening or edge, folding a strip of banding material over the edge so the machine encloses and finishes it, the way a knit neckband or a banded cuff finishes an opening. It closes and finishes an edge with a folded band rather than a simple turned hem.
The folder is sized to the band width and matched to the material, often stretch knit for necklines and cuffs, and it holds the band folded over the edge through the sewing pass, including around the curve of a neckline. Handling the stretch and the curve consistently is what separates a clean banded edge from a rippled one.
Bibbing and banding finishes openings and edges that call for a folded band, so the folder is chosen for the band and the opening. Choosing one means matching the band width and the material, especially its stretch, to the folder, and the folder to the machine that sews the banded edge.
