    This is the BEST tutorial on RUclips for making bias tape!!! There are tons out there doing this same process, but your makes the most sense. The videoing is spot on so that we can clearly see what you are doing. Thank you a million times for this! ❤

    This method gives you 5 yards of Continuous Bias tape which gives you 180” inches of bias tape. An average queen size quilt is at least 90” sq meaning you will need aprox 360” inches of tape plus an extra 10”-12” to go around the corners & for the ends to meet up. If you do this to a yard of fabric then you will have more then enough for a Queen quilt plus some left over for a throw or pot holders, etc

    When bedsheets got torn or stained (usually bleach or rust stains), my Mom would cut down the good parts into bias tape for her aprons. She said the earlier brands weren't always colorfast or too costly. She always wore aprons to do housework but didn't want to spend lots of money yet enjoyed the look of bias tape. 🍄🍄

      fabric cut on the grain will not have give and work the same as bias tape

    I’ve been a quilter and a quilt teacher for 28 years. This is the best demonstration I’ve ever seen. If you prefer using your iron in the upright position you can disengage the horizontal mechanism. Check your instructions. Love your channel.

    Great tutorial. My mom taught me years ago when the red card was first sold.
    I found out the hard way that if you match the other two sides of the cut square, the strips will be on the grain.
    The binding is flatter if the seams are set before pressing open.
    I am smiling. So many of your tips were taught to me by my Mom. Miss her.

    • @kerryneas183
      @kerryneas183 8 месяцев назад +2

      @@Carolyn-qd8mj just press them before opening. It makes the thread sink down into the fabric. Then press the seam open.

    • @janabeckman545
      @janabeckman545 8 месяцев назад

      Before you open the seam allowances to press open the seam, press the stitching. The heat (and steam if using steam) flattens things out, and in the case of natural fibers, "shrinks" the cotton thread and material to regain the shape before the seam was stitched." ​@@Carolyn-qd8mj

    Thank you! You're so concise and clear with your explanations and everything is so easy to see! I've found homemade bias tape so easy to use. It's not stiff and goes around corners so much easier than the store bought. When I was brave enough to try making my own, I found the quantity so ample I didn't have joins like I did in the past with store bought. They don't give you much in those packages! This truly is the best tutorial I've found and I've watched dozens! Thanks again!

    This was an enjoyable step by step tutorial which was presented at a comfortable speed so that it could be followed easily. I recently chose a pattern that called for bias tape which I had never been taught how to sew using bias tape and I had to wing it . However, I did my own thing and to my surprise I was successful in getting the project to look really good. This video was so very helpful for my future projects. And now I may be able to make my own bias tape. Wish me luck. LOL. Thank you for this video.

    I love your technique for bias tape! It is efficient and quicker than the other way! I'm going to do this because I use lots of
    bias tape for my sewing projects! Thank you for sharing!

    Jan, great demo. This method also goes by the name of continuous bias tape. Demos such as these help those of us directionally challenged! I would also note that for those who like to sew their clothes with knits, woven bias tape is great for sleeve and neck trims which can add both color and stability.

    Hi.. great tips! You mentioned getting it at the fabric store. That would be great if they actually had any to pick from. JoAnn’s to be exact. After several trips over a few wks… it’s 25 mins away so not super convenient, I finally asked how often they ordered it. The display had not changed. The girl shrugged her shoulders… & said that wasn’t her job so she didn’t know!! And what they had was $3.49 a pkg w/ only 3 yds ea. I make mine as well!! Much cheaper & what ever color I choose. Thank you for sharing you work ❤

      In Australia it is $11.99 for a similar sized pack. Patterns if not on sale are $20 to $40 each ( current sale has some at 3 for $25 dollars ) and I just got some fabric on sale to make some little girl dresses for charity $231.00. The cost of everything post covid is insane but it is always cheaper to make your own bias binding and easy too.

    That small piece of fabric you use at the beginning of your bias tape seams is referred to as an "onie-offie". I'm sure there are other names for it, but that is the one that comes to mind. Great tip!

    I was so concerned about needing bias tape for a project w/ expensive fabric. I didn’t need much tape but hated the idea of having to cut a large portion of fabric just for the tape. This technique makes it so simple and economical!!! Amazing video, thank you! This is what makes sewing so satisfying and fun 🥰
