I'm doing some sewing after years of not sewing and you showed me something new. I'd have never thought of leaving the bias binding double... Very much simplifies the application. Yay, for new ideas.
I've been sewing for 62 years and I really like your way of doing this - I absolutely hate interfacings!!! The contrasting fabric was very cute and for those who don't like to use a contrasting fabric, you can make the bias using your dress fabric. If you don't want it showing on the outside, just reverse it and sew it on the inside.
The section I needed the most, joining the ends, was hidden by your hands!
Yes couldn’t see it!
At the end, you put the raw end in between of the folded end 😊 That’s why you start about an inch in at the beginning. Hope it makes sence 😊
@@tovethomsen7545 thank you🌷
To all these people insulting this skilled & talented lady...if you look when she started sewing the bias, she didn't start sewing directly at the beginning of strip. (Sometimes if u watch things more than once & slow speed of video if you need to do so, you can figure it out yourself.) She left about a 1 1/2 inch of bias at beginning to tuck the end piece of the bias into the beginning piece. I will explain exactly how she did it so you know but first... Wow. Imagine you were in her shoes reading all these comments. If you were her, could you have did what she did better? Obviously not since you came here. Do u have a RUclips channel? Her skills? Do you want to share your sewing skills w/the world only to have 90% of ppl be nasty about something you couldn't even help? No wonder she didn't respond to even one comment, not even the 10% of ppl who were nice. How hurtful. There was NO WAY she could have only done the ending part one handed...and somehow sewed it. She needed her right hand to guide it and left hand to put pressure on bias after she tucked bias in and once tucked, it was to thick to pin. So, what she did was: in the end she literally opened up bias and tucked the strip into the middle of first part she skipped as she left left room for tucking, about 1 1/2 inches, and put pressure on it (with her left hand) and continued to sew it shut. Now she said she TUCKED it. Otherwise, she would have had to just laid the bias on top of first piece or butted up the edges. I'm not sure why this was so hard to figure out. I have never used bias before either except on quilting and that finishes differently as to the finish of this type of project. Tucking a piece of bias into another one isn't something to get so upset about. Are you all this upset because you couldn't see that 5 second part at the end where she opened up the folded over bias and inserted other end of bias and sewed it shut? I don't know if you people are angry that you honestly couldn't logically figure out how to finish the binding or are upset she didnt have a tiny camera glued at the top of her sewing machine pointing downward onto her work. I've watched many sewing tutorials and even crochet tutorials and where ppl are doing things close together with their hands, and because of this, there will be some visual limitations. If you want to learn from RUclips...for FREE...you need to accept these visual limitations. I encourage you to be GRATEFUL. Thank God this lady spent her time to show her skill & talents. I am. If you are that upset and unhappy, rather than complain you can pay $30 a class at JoAnnes (and not get this in-depth of knowledge) or you can go to fashion design/dressmaker school & you'll be able to see everything clearly. First hand help w/teachers etc. You will also clearly see a bill of $60,00-100,000 depending on which school you choose. Hope this helps. You probably don't want my help...but I know she didn't make this video to be insulted either. I never met this lady or heard of her until today. I subbed. I "liked." I enjoyed the video. I learned something new. Hope this helps our gratitude & prospective! :) When you are being blessed and given a gift of someone else's knowledge for free...don't throw it in their face because you don't like the wrapping paper. (Ex: because its not 100% perfect to you or you find what you think is a major flaw when its really only a minor issue that she could have easily explained or even have done an update video. But when we treat ppl like dirt, I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't allow comments at all anymore. Honestly, after these....I wouldn't. Pls ppl. Think b4 you react. Respond instead and put yourself in her or anyone else's shoes. Thanks. God bless. 😄
Thank you for taking the time to explain it to these morons HERO 🙏
Apart from when your hand covered the bias merge, this is a very good video. Excellent dialogue, instructions and explanations...
Good lighting... Good sound... Good advance preparation and well thought out..... I have been sewing for 55 years and I learned something new here... Same thing with your set-in sleeve video... Straight, and to the point... Good, down to earth and easy to understand, without excess verbiage, without non-stop unrelated nattering and without over-used and excessive superlatives which so many other videos have.
YOU ARE A GOOD TEACHER.... WELL DONE KAY ❗❗❗ 😊 👍 😊
How do I sow fashionable, tight pants to my husband and still leave enough room for his abnormaly large male member? He hates getting that big ol' trouser snake squeezed, and I can sure understand him. Thank you 😊
Off to fold away my big ironing board and use my sleeve board on the cutting table! What a great idea...Thanks!
You’re a very good teacher...been sewing years but there’s always new stuff to try.
A top camera view is needed at the sewing machine ....your left hand is in the way...I can hear you describing it but seeing it at the same time would be good 😊
I couldn't see how the join was done at the back. Maybe a close view after you'd sewn it would be good.
My goodness, the bright prints are wonderful. And the dress with the border and the one with five different fabrics are so clever and beautiful.
Excellent instructions & appreciate the tip regarding selecting fabric. Most helpful!
This is quite a detailed tutorial on making your own bias "strips" and putting them onto your project. TY for sharing it with us.
HI Kay:I used to see you on: "Sewing with Nancy" from time to time. I enjoy watching you! Lovely dresses! I've been sewing 57 years! Great video. Diane
I have watched this video over and over - - I love it! Instructions are clear and camera work excellent. At my first attempt attaching the bias trim to a neckline it came out perfect and the joining of the two ends was easy to do. I couldn't see details because of your hands obstructing things, but really it became apparent how to tuck in one end to the other for a neat finish. Love the sundresses and Kay Whitt!
Kay Whitt: Hi. Thank you so much.I wanted you to know how much your video helped me. And I understood perfectly about bias. When I saw you skip about 1 1/2 inches at beginning when u began sewing, I assumed we would be tucking it. What else could we do with it? Butt raw edges together? Overlap it? That would look hideous. Haha. Anyway, ppl will always find things to complain abt. I did feel it necessary to explain what you did and as a sewer, crocheter and a quilter myself, sewing is my weakest, esp making clothing. I don't have the courage to make a RUclips channel. I admire your courage to have one & to allow comments. I felt really upset abt these comments. There was no possibility you could have guided with your right hand & you had to press down with your left to keep all that in place. Even if u "loved" pinning, it was too thick to pin & redundant.. There was NOTHING ELSE you could have done differently to "move your hand" so say the complainers. After all, it is not rocket science" and you explained yourself well. So I wanted you to know all that. I just found you today. I think your a great teacher. My comment to the people follows this one. I subb'd & liked. God bless. Shelly
Excellent demonstration & explanation of your process. Grateful to people like you who have honed skills and are willing to share. Bless you
This was extremely helpful! It's pretty hard to find a tutorial this clear in it steps for this type of trim. Thank you so much!
Your studio lighting is EXCELLENT! I could actually see; you and your sewing studio and even your machine. Thanks for taking the time to properly set-up your how-to videos for optimal viewing. Others could learn a lot from you. Thanks Again.
I love this demonstration. Thank you so much for taking the time and details mentioned to show how to do this. Great video!
When I learned how to bind quilts, I thought, "this is pretty neat. I wonder if we could use these binding strips and the skills learned on something else?". Well, you showed us a practical and nice looking thing to do with binding. Thank you! And I like the way that you tucked the ends in. It's less confusing than the way I was taught to tuck quilt binding in.
you probably dont give a damn but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Damien Kashton instablaster :)
@Braylen Korbyn i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Braylen Korbyn it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Damien Kashton Glad I could help xD
Wow ! Amazing design of garments . You make it
Lovely bias facing. Asian/Middle Eastern tailor demos often show narrower bias facings. Not often is pressing shown during construction, with their apparent fine dexterity, to stitch a double fold.Your 2" strip allowed me easier control for the directed outcome, because you pressed first producing a neater, crisp controllable edge.
Wow I love how professional you are. Thank you
Fabulous tutorial. Much easier and better results than other methods.
Thank you sooo much , I was struggling with neck band , stretchy , I’ve done it after watching this x
I want to thank you so much! You have really helped me in such a great way. I’m just starting to see. And I can honestly say you make it so easy.
Your machine is very nice and not noisy. And the safety pins are amazing
Thanks Kay. Love your work. Am off to try that right now on a sundress for my adult daughter. First though I have to find how to cut and sew the bias binding. lol. always something to hold me up.
You explain very well. I can live without a sleeve board but not without a tailors ham.
And I always add lining to my dresses, personal preference I feel like they look more professional looking than home made ;)
myrajscortes ham lol hem..
I agree with you on your point thou.
I want to make vintage 1940- 1950 dresses 👗
And other costumes.
What you making?
@@Timetravel1111 it is called a ham hehe. I am making dresses for me and my girl. I am tired of dresses at the store with very low necklines and they are very short and on top of that very expensive without lining. I am following frocks & frolics sewing patterns and Angela Kane sewing tv channels
You make it look easy and explained it beautifully. Thank you 🙏
Super well done. You are also very articulate and I like the added tips about a large print is good for a two piece pattern, etc.
I need now to find how to make the bias tape which has always been a little hard for me.
I do agree with the previous comment that I couldn’t see how you closed the end of the tapes.
You make it look so easy. I'll finally try. I could see everything I need.
So nice to see you on this Video Kate, I had the privilege of taking a class from you involving a Snowman jacket oodles of years ago in Arlington, TX.
I still have no idea exactly how you joined the strips together at the back of the neck because your hand covered it up .
Hi- I have been collecting your patterns for several years now. I look forward to more. While home so much this year, I will make a few house dresses using them. I just discovered your videos and love seeing you in person. I am just down the road in College Station.
I love the color choices in the print so beautiful thank you for sharing how to do the collar.
I learned a lot in first two minutes. I want to trim up my Nordic Viking dress well because the wool was very expensive and it’s more fine, but edge needs to look nice. I haven’t figured how to do the sleeves yet.
I plan to make more dresses
I am a beginning sew level.
I know how to use a bias strip but I also like how you uses her print fabric in a unique design
I’m a quilter and wanting to dive into garment making so this is a perfect solution for me!!! I have my bias tape making down pat because it’s what I use for my quilt bindings. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love bias trim!, your demonstration was smooth and easy :)
Thank you for your tips and video! I really appreciated all your tips.
Jh ca. Fu. FMaddie Cedeno
I love the concept using the bias binding.
Thank you! I have to do this on my first sewing project and the pattern instructions are not at all clear. I think they miss out about 3 whole steps. I will have to go back and watch this video a couple more times to really get it, but it is a big help!
Great demonstration. I learned a lot. Thank you.
I love the concept of this video and your accent is fun.
I enjoyed this tutorial very much. Thank you for doing it.
All fabric colours r very very nice and superb stitch
I'd like to see the patterns you used to make the dresses. The floral print dress only had two pattern pieces? That's great. Subscribed
Beautiful I love Kay’s designs patterns
Easy to follow.I love your fabrics.
She was in too much of a rush. The technique is good, but I would trim off some of that seam allowance as it is peeking out from some of the final stitching.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial!!...So helpful!... oh and wow what a rock :)... That is a beautiful ring!!!
Very informative video, but from 4:15 to 5:40, I could not see how you closed off. Your hands were blocking the process .
Mam I want formal frock cutting and stitching please the video or link me.
I would definitely have trimmed the edge a bit just to avoid or have to tuck in the treads that are showing on the right side of the dress. Otherwise this is a great and easy way to sew armholes and neckholes.
It was impossible to see what you were doing since your hand was in the way. I can’t wait to try your method. Thank you
Very helpful video but I would love to see that back neckline join. Would it be possible perhaps to make a short video showing just this?
Thank you so much, really a great learning,
Absolutely I love it. I hate use the facing. Always came out from the neck. Maybe I couldnt make properly 😅 But this way definitely easy for me. I wondering is it work for chiffon or satin fabric ? 🤔🙄
Yes!!! Exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
I think this was excellent, overall. But I can't get my mind around why you did not trim the seam allowance. It seems (no pun) that going back and trying to correct all the threads from the frayed edge that shows would hurt the construction , or they would get worse with laundering.
You could do an all-in-one facing to reduce bulk in the shoulder.
Thank u so much, this is my problem as a beginner, neckline because i dont have pattern
great tutorial, nice "pins" on the wall. Great camera work; forget about all the comments about your hand being in the way... Now where did I put my diamond ring so that next time I sew I can look like that also. I normally sew in my pj's. Time to get to that hairdresser and look more professional.
She can ignore the comments about her hands covering the most important bit of the video, if this wasn't a tutorial. The least she can do is acknowledge the comments, even if it was in the description box!
Yep. I don’t know what people are not seeing. It was very clear to me. If you sew, you should know.
Unable to see at the tucking point what you do because of hands blocking camera.
Purple Bobbins I love you and this
Interesting that you put it on folded. I think people might have liked to see how you cut the basis edge
excellent tutorial.
Thank you! I love this tutorial! The bias trim looks so nice and is such a great option rather than facings!
What pattern is the shift dress?? Please.
The pattern can be found a sewserendipity.com - it's the Mia Shift Dress
Thank u so much I’ve been looking for this kind of bias trimming 👍🏾💯👍🏾💯👍🏾
Can you please share the dress pattern you are using. I enjoyed the tutorial very informative! I subscribed 😊
It can be found at sewserendipity.com - it's the Mia Shift Dress
Great tutorial, many thanks and I LOVE the bright, fun fabrics. You mentioned using border prints, do you have a video on cutting and using these by any chance?
It's amazing how fabric choice can give away a home made garment.
I agree! One of the BEST!
Beautifully done. i love your choice of colours and styles.
Did you say how wide your bias started out? I guess I could go back and look…lol. This is like binding a quilt. I use 21/2” for my quilts. Sew cute. Thanks for sharing
Hah. This is so much easier than the way I learned to apply bias tape to edges (starting from the right side and than "stitch in the ditch"ing. Can't wait to try it...
Rara Avis Rara how you learned to apply bias is correct. It depends on what you're apply the bias to that will determine which application to use. This is just another way to apply bias and really showcase the accent. If I was applying bias to a garment using this technique, after pressing and turning the bias to the outside of the garment, I would finish it by sewing it by hand. I think it looks more professional. especially on a dress.
Rara Avis
So true about sun dresses just subbed
Nice but would have been great to see an up close view of the neckline join. Only saw your hand!
Nice explanation
Don't join the sides before finishing the neck
@@rajeevimuralidhara8028 Thanks for your information
Nice job there well done
Hi Kay, thanks for sharing your skills. I missed the tuck when you joined the bias because of the camera angle. Also, can I apply woven bias to knit/stretch fabric where no stretch is required?
Agree with the last comment. Would like to see what you are doing there.
Worth to watch. Thanks a lot
Your taste in fabric is just amazing. I love them all.
Question- do you trim the neck and arm lines before applying the bias or do you use the neckline and arm holes from the pattern?
I have the same question. Sorry yours wasn’t answered.
Мне понравился такой метод обработки. Спасибо.
Beautiful fabric!
Very..very..nice
Thanks for the demo . Please ignore the trolls !👍🤔✂️🇨🇦
Very helpful...Thanks
Very pretty dresses, thank you.
I agree you cannot see how you finish the two edges, because your hand is in the way.
You are doing good job dear joined you
could not see the finished stage of the neck join.Camera view poor. your hand blocked the view
Could you phrase your comment more politely?
Check out any quilting video that teaches bias tape binding - enjoy!
I watched to learn how to join the bias tape at center back or at left shoulder as RTW does. But alas that is the only section you didn't explain or show very well. You kept your hands in the camera view and didn't explain, show or demonstrate this major part of attaching bias tape. Rest of video well done.
Great tips, but would like to see closer up how you tucked the ends in together. LOVE the fabric. Who makes that?!
Awesome, tks!
There are too many layers and it looks bulky. I wonder If is it possible to sew the bias on the face and turn and press it. Than go on the wrong side and finish edges?
Great tutorial did you use the same type of fabric you used for the dress as well as to make the binding or was it a more stretchy fabric, I loved how you used it on the dress
It was excellent, I just wish your hands weren't in the way when joining the ends. Thank you.
would you recommend using this method on a dress made of double knit jersey fabric.
What are the safety pins on the walls for?
Rubina it looks like a design piece for a sewing room.
