The bias I have used previously has been stiff, and when this softer bias arrived I was a bit unsure. I have used it to attach the hem to some cotton/linen trousers and it was so easy to handle, blends beautifully, so as not leave a visable ridge from the front, and doesn't affect the drape of the finished garment. I will order more of this bias along with my next fabric order. It is always good to have to hand.
