If you have seen wrights double fold bias seam tape then you already know what French Fold looks like, the difference is that it is cut on the lengthwise straight grain of the fabric. When it gets flipped o the back side of the quilt, the fold in already there and you dont have to turn in the raw edge. I use double fold tape all the time when binding edges, stitch it to the front side on the crease, encase the edge, flip it to the back and either top stitch or hand stitch invisibly as you prefer.
