Note: The only time you will need to open up the bias tape is when you need to join the ends together, then you refold again when attaching it.Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803987910368624424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838580627585927365.post-25701142040454967572014-06-24T00:54:42.222+10:002014-06-24T00:54:42.222+10:00Quick question about your bias tape, when you cut ...Quick question about your bias tape, when you cut it and iron in half, do you open the bias tape when pinning it to the neck line or do you sew it to the neck line still folded in half then you flip it to the back side and stitch in the ditch? this making a really slim bias tape?Stacy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05062051634041856429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838580627585927365.post-42562674107319578912014-03-11T09:32:46.572+11:002014-03-11T09:32:46.572+11:00Thanks for very useful tutorial.

Thank you for leaving a comment. Yes...Hi Bronwyn, <br /><br />Thank you for leaving a comment. Yes you are absolutely right...bad fabric choice, but whilst making a top, I thought I'd photograph the binding process. Click on the images and you can see my text indicating wrong side and may even see a seam.<br /><br />At some stage I'll replace with images on a plain fabric with contrasting thread...one of these days!<br /><br />I squeeze in my bias strips in my pattern layout when cutting my pattern so can't give you exact amount, but when cutting bias strips in a contrast fabric I approx for 50-60cm . The bias strip in this pattern is 65cm long allowing for room to leave tails.<br />Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803987910368624424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838580627585927365.post-68807899801270129692013-01-17T09:03:28.261+11:002013-01-17T09:03:28.261+11:00thanks very much for this tute!

I do have to say that maybe this particular fabric used was not the best choice for viewing right/wrong sides, markings and joins etc. but the instructions are clear. I like the vilene square tip too. Can I ask how much fabric is usually needed to make the binding?Bronwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949924320993338258noreply@blogger.com
