I’m making an ironing board cover with bias tape as the elastic casing. There are 3 big curves and I’m so glad I happened across this video! It was so helpful!
Thank you! This was super simple and straightforward (which I appreciate so much!). My hope is that this method will work for the ribbon I want to use as bias tape as well. Here's hoping!
Ribbon may not work as well around curves since the threads weaving it are not on the bias. The diagonal bias threads help it mold around curves better.

That is awesome!
Great hints, my bias always curls, I just thought it was from stretching around curves.
Stretching in the wrong places is why this happens; pressing helps you make sure you're stretching in the correct areas.

This is fantastic. I can’t wait to use this information in my sewing!!!!!
Wonderful!
I need to try this pre-ironing thing to march the curves. Sometimes it’s a battle!
Thanks for watching!
Wow, thank you for that tip, on how to sew bias around curves.
Glad it was helpful!
I kind of hate that the answer to most of my sewing issues always comes back to "don't be lazy and use your iron" 😂
Thanks for the demo!
Lol! "Take your time and do all the steps" was my sewing nemesis for years 🤣
Every.single.time 😂
Thanks for this tip! I like sewing baby things. This will help!
Yes, it helps a lot for bibs!
Great tutorial thank you
You’re welcome 😊
What is your iron you use? Looks like it gets good steam.
It's a Black & Decker one that they don't make anymore. This one looks pretty similar to mine amzn.to/3REKIT1
Thanks for great tip. Love you😊
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Wish I knew this 15 years ago Lol thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Wouldn't clipping the curves in the seam allowance here go a long way to releasing some of that tension as well?
That wouldn't release the tension caused by stretching the bias tape.
Thank you
You're welcome
