DEFLEXION S-Range Edging
Once cut to shape, you may want to look at ways of edging the material, as the exposed textile fibers give edges a rough, abrasive feel. We recommend that you edge all S-Range materials, particularly in applications where the material is visible or removable by the user. Depending on the flexibility and tension of the edging material, you can form S-Range textile into three-dimensional shapes. The edging will also make it easier to join S-Range textiles to other materials.

It is possible to use an elastic edging material to create soft, rounded three-dimensional shapes. Varying the elasticity of the binding and the tension applied will alter the shape achieved.
