Bias Binding Made Easy

[@vickitakeuchi7375]

Great directions, no rambling, strait to the point and a voice that is pleasant to listen to! Thank you

[@cleocleo1968]

Laura, this is one of the most AMAZING bias cutting techniques ever! It provides a quick and easy method to an otherwise tedious task! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Glad you enjoyed it:)

[@lorelledalke3035]

This is my "go to" video for every quilt I make because it ensures I do it right every time! And now I'm sharing it with friends who have asked for help!

[@kaylawoody7280]

This is the absolute easiest binding process I have found. And she does such a wonderful job of explaining how to do it.

[@tinamorris8399]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I don't know why I can't remember how to do this from quilt to quilt. I re-watch this video every single time I need to make my binding and fold along with you! You make it so quick and easy!

[@ledgerrichard1516]

you all probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

[@salvadorkeaton251]

@Ledger Richard Instablaster :)

[@ledgerrichard1516]

@Salvador Keaton thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@ledgerrichard1516]

@Salvador Keaton It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account !

[@salvadorkeaton251]

@Ledger Richard Glad I could help xD

[@martinarett3460]

Laura, you explain everything so,so well! Better than anyone else, with tricks and tips! Thank you!

[@QueenBee-hk9xl]

I like this better than any other bias creating video. This is simple, quick and easy to understand.

[@mcoguyaj]

I have seen some of your videos before and now that I am getting out of my beginner level and moving into my novice level I'm doing more things and I am doing a project that the regular bias tape wasn't the right color so had to buy fabric and then bought a bias tape maker. I'm so glad I have watched your videos before because when i saw you I clicked right away. This is the only video I saw that shows how to fold it and cut it. I would have been just cutting straight strips. So I'm convinced I'm going to have to subscribe. Thanks again.

[@gache52]

Today I spent two hours looking at videos on cutting bias binding and I saw a variety of possibilities. Then after dinner your video popped up and wow! I loved it! I immediately ordered the ruler on amazon. You have a new fan/subscriber.

[@gailmoss2578]

Love your tutorials and you don't waste time by sewing on your machine like so many other people do. We know how to sew and watching others sewing is like watching paint dry [lol]. You get to the point and so very clear at that. I've never heard of this ruler but will order me one now. When I'm cutting binding all those lines on my ruler makes my eyes cross. They won't now. Thanks.

[@SewVeryEasy]

thanks and thank you for watching

[@robinpyers787]

After watching your video, I purchased this ruler and used it for the first time today. OMG! This ruler made it so easy to fold and cut the fabric. Thank you for an excellent video!

[@pattikelley4840]

Thank-you AGAIN! When I don’t remember how it’s done I always refer back to your channel. You are an excellent teacher!

[@catherinegray5106]

Another great tutorial - thank you! Something I do regarding the "fold" - rather than cut it off, I simply cut half the desired width; therefore, using your fave 2 1/4", cut 1 1/8" - no waste! Thank you again Laura...

[@SewVeryEasy]

Great idea Thank you for sharing 😆

[@stephaniepublicker3824]

Wow! I bought this tool and have been astonished at how much yardage I can squeeze out of a fat quarter or a yard. For years, I'd tried to follow tutorial for cutting bias binding but found them too complicated. But this method is quick and easy. Thanks for posting.

[@SewVeryEasy]

You are very welcome:)thanks for watching

[@rachelekelly1161]

Hands up, Laura-You are my new and forever sewing teacher. I understand the sewing techniques I want to learn best from you. This is a time-saver.

[@newbeequilter]

Such an accurate title for this video, "Bias Binding Made Easy". Thank you for your thoughtfulness in showing us from the viewer's point of view how to do the folding and then that tip about cutting that "bump" at the beginning. And that "ruler slide" tip was a little bit of magic :-) Bias binding is my preference for most quilts as it holds up better over time, so that's another Creative Grids ruler to put on wish list. Hope all is going well for you, Laura.

[@SewVeryEasy]

always nice to hear from you. All is well and I'm glad you liked he tip:)

[@texcurtis77006]

My sister gave me the ruler for a gift and now I know how to use it. Thank you!

[@SewVeryEasy]

lucky you:)

[@patfrontuto5342]

I love this ruler and thanks for the tips Laura! Love Cooking with the Coia’s too!!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks and thanks for watching

[@tokidokie1]

Oh my! Again, an excellent tutorial! I'm getting myself one of these rulers! No more wasted material! Love it! Thank you Laura!!

[@SewVeryEasy]

You do have a a few short pieces that really can't be used, but not too much. Thanks for watching.

[@monicahaigh4490]

Thank you Laura for sharing this great technique for cutting bias binding. Can't believe that a few simple folds can take the pain out of the process. Fabulous!

[@LynnePedigoRidayReiter]

I bought that ruler on your say-so. A bit pricey but worth it. TYVM, I am making my first bias tape today with your help. I feel like I solved a fabric Rubrics cube!

[@Grace_x68]

I am really glad I started to follow you. I am actually into sewing rather than quilting but have learned more from your hands-on tips than from anyone else. Thank you so much.

[@janelicata5328]

Your tutorials are the BEST! Always easy to follow and understand. Thank you, Laura!

[@suejameson1517]

Again and again, this is the one i come back to!

[@DesigingJ]

Great tutorial. I found an online site that explained how to calculate how much fabric you need to bind a quilt. However I was struggling how to cut it. Thanks to your tutorial cutting the bias strips was a piece of cake. I also used another tutorial you posted on making a t-shirt quilt. I’m so pleased how it turned out.

[@SewVeryEasy]

I'm happy hear that, and thanks for letting me know :)

[@ruthptb]

Laura, I agree with Susan below: Slick idea! I've always used the continuous binding method but I like that your method works for any size of fabric. Thank you for another good video.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Glad you like it and thanks for watching

[@judyhbaker]

I clicked the like button, but I really LOVE this folding technique. I'm fairly new to quilting and haven't used bias binding because it seemed too complicated to cut. I will definitely be using this tip.

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks and welcome:)

[@judymalone1016]

I wish I had seen this video last week it would have saved me so much time and effort. Thank you so much

[@trudywolcott7419]

I learn so much from you. Thank you for all your videos and your expertise. You are gift to all,of us.

[@loisbruce]

Thank you so much Laura! To think it was taking me ages before measuring, then cutting whole widths of fabric.

[@mellosays]

This is the best bias making tutorial I have ever seen! And I thought I knew all about it! Thank you so much!

[@elizabethbod739]

The best bias binding tutorial, thanks for covering all the details and making it so clear!

[@SewVeryEasy]

glad to have been able to help:)

[@iampaperprincess]

Excellent video! I think you’ve done a better job at highlighting this ruler than the Creative Grids people did! The tips for using it as a strip cutter is brilliant. I never thought of that! Thank you!

[@SewVeryEasy]

thanks

[@lorievandenheuvel1653]

OMG!! I think I may be a little late to the party, Laura. This was the best tutorial, so easy to do bias binding. I have been meaning to figure this out forever, today was the day and it worked beautifully. Thanks so much!!

[@christianas3139]

Laura, this excellent tutorial was so VERY helpful to me, thank you, thank you!

[@judithuhlinger7596]

Always a wonderfully concise, straight-forward tutorial from you--with a minimum of chit chat--which I find so helpful when I'm trying to concentrate on what is being taught. Thank you.

[@SewVeryEasy]

glad I could help

[@christineh7997]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you for simplifying the cutting and joining bias strip binding. 👍🏾

[@pamketron]

Great info Laura. You made it so easy to understand. Bias binding can be confusing to those of us that don’t use it very much. Thanks for making it so easy to understand. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@socalgingerjohnson]

Thank You. You are always the one that makes these overwhelming skills accomplished! If you ever make an updated version would you consider using a striped fabric? I think it would help follow the folding step.

[@lindaroberts8913]

Great video and a lot of help for us Newbie's...thanks Laura!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Glad I could help

[@abelrivest6204]

Laura you are a good teacher, you explain so well that makes us to do even hard things. Thank you!!! God bless you...(.I used my husband email.) I am here every day.

[@SewVeryEasy]

haha What, and here I thought it was him:) Thanks for watching :)

[@KarinRingland]

Thank you! I have known how to cut small pieces of fabric on the bias but not a full yard or more. A great explanation!

[@SewVeryEasy]

I do like to do things quick:)

[@maryl.8281]

Thanks your tutorial was a life saver and so easy to understand.

[@suzisaintjames]

Seems like a great ruler to help with the cutting, but my complaint with bias binding is the sewing the strips together. So, I like the continuous binding method, where you sew the triangle together, then cut apart. I'm sure this ruler would come in handy when marking the cutting lines. Thanks for always showing us the new products in the market. 💝☀🌵

[@victoriawebster668]

Wow! Best directions ever. Thanks Laura!

[@karenliles8548]

folding and cutting technique worked like a charm! thank you!

[@linda.brotherton1689]

Just ordered the ruler,ty. 🌹 You have such beautiful hair.

[@claudiamcafee1244]

I loved the video, bought the ruler, folded my fabric, ran the cutter down the ruler. Beautiful strips. Now I need to sew, then try to apply to a square cutout in a curtain. Wish you had a video doing corners that are inverted. Think I will round the corners.

[@SewVeryEasy]

humm, I never thought of that. I will put it on my list. thank you for the idea!

[@claudiamcafee1244]

Another very important lesson learned with this video. Using the bias maker marked 25, somehow I thought this might mean 2.5 so I cut my strips 2 1/2". Bias tape just didn't fold right. Wait a minute, go back to video, how did I miss your explanation on what the marking meant. Ironed strip, folded a couple of times, lined up edges very carefully, lined up fantastic ruler, trimmed off a perfect 1/2 inch, ran thru binder maker again, PERFECT BIAS TAPE. By folding fabric your way, my square hole is 10"x10", strips needed were over 40", don't need to join for this project, but will save the rest to trim a little dress. Thanks so much for your videos.

[@gypsygirl731]

Wow a short cut & lovely. For a $25.00 ruler it’s well worth my time and no oops. I inherited a bunch of cottons & will make bias tape 😺 thank you

[@roxanahurley7360]

This is such a clever and useful technique! Once again, thank you so much for all you teach us!!!

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thank you and thanks for watching :)

[@anndodds8781]

I'm new at this and you give me such hope. love watching what your doing. it makes sense. thank you

[@v.g.6511]

Excellent tutorial on cutting bias binding so easy to follow. I know longer dread cutting bias binding. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@marietteforget7804]

Hi Laura, this is a great ruler! Their website is great too. Thanks for sharing with us and have a great day! 😎

[@SewVeryEasy]

I think so too:) thanks for watching

[@bridgetrcooney9339]

A great video, I was unable to understand pictorial directions on my ruler, kept making errors, so after your video I have grasped it & other useful uses of ruler. Now will enjoy cutting bias strips. Again thanks & love your channel.

[@maurisamark1747]

I just love how you shared this technique may I say its really time saving, game changer for me thank you much. Happy Holidays to you💟

[@mmiddleton8807]

Love how you demonstrated the folding method. Thanks Laura.

[@SewVeryEasy]

hope it helps:)

[@slim1one]

I too have always used 2-1/4 inch binding. You're the only other person I've heard of that does the same. Everyone uses 2-1/2, but I find it too wide. Great tutorial re bias cut binding. Thank you.

[@rosariomitchcooney8813]

Thank you for a great tutorial on this ruler, especially showing on camera as if us, are using it. I hope Creative Grids will appreciate your demo as I looked at theirs & it's very dated & difficult to follow.

[@paulinechapman5669]

You are a great sales person..bravo..🇨🇦

[@gwenspencer6967]

Thanks for sharing the many use's of this ruler.Great tutorial 😀

[@ellahowell1086]

[@SewVeryEasy]

yes you can:) go for it!

[@marietteforget7804]

Thanks a lot Laura for another great tutorial! 😎🌸 This ruler is quite a tool!

[@catvonblack6437]

You are amazing at teaching. Thank you!

[@gehanghobrial2449]

Thank you so much, I just made my first bias tape. I appreciate your help.❤

[@dianadiehl]

Thank you for a folded technique. Your other video on this topic requires a large table, and I have only a small space.

[@kjudd5127]

Evil Danielle - it's so lovely you are thinking of finishing your Grandmother's quilt. Staff in fabric stores will be able to advise if you give them the length and width measurements. You may have to sew two narrower strips of cotton fabric together to get the size you want. Calico is a cost effective way of backing your quilt and comes in wider sizes. Don't forget you'll need batting (the squishy middle layer). There are lots of great KZbin tutorials on quilting, including SewVeryEasy of course 😀 Enjoy!

[@SewVeryEasy]

thanks for your help:) :)

[@pj89-96]

Finally one I get. Thank you Mrs. Laura!!

[@susanchenoweth8232]

Slick idea - - as usual, you explain it clearly, Thanks.

Great video. I think I can handle bias bindings finally. TY

[@susankeuhlen5484]

I had not seen this method. I'm going to have to give it a whirl!

[@amysview2670]

Great video! I have it saved so when it’s time to bind I rewatch it so I get it right. Thanks!

[@eastaucklandkittenrescue6394]

That was great video thank you, I always find it difficult to find a binder maker to make 2 1/4 binder maker after cutting to turn into the tap. I was also wondering where your large white mat from please

[@Sprint29able]

I love your videos and watch every week!

[@SewVeryEasy]

[@Selahhavenhomestead]

Laura This was VERY helpful and I saved to my favs so I can refer back as necessary. Thank you for creating the video. It helps to make these for those of us that don't use a specific technique everyday and forget. Kudos girlfriend! Hugs!

[@hollywilson6019]

Can I fold the fabric in half initially? I have a long narrow piece

[@shamaamjad5458]

Thanks❤ mam very helpful video i was in dought u clarified it. 🥰🤗🙏

[@cherylmurriell9930]

Hello I just started watching your tutorials love them I was looking at a tutorials about how to make bias binding and you had on a black & white jacket my favorite colors with the fray collar I would like to know what pattern was use & how the collar became frayed. thank you keep sewing enjoy

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thanks for asking, I will see what I can do, and welcome:)

[@Sprint29able]

You are amazing and I look forward to your video's... also love your hair color... and what you wear... :)

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thank you and thank you:)

[@teresafinnerty207]

I bought the ruler and still have trouble attaching the two ends. I wish your video showed how to use the tool. I do think your videos are very straight to the point and i use quite a bit of your ideas.

[@paulinemcintosh8376]

Does the material have to be even like e.g. 18×18 or so on square thank you

[@leithagrover9116]

Do they have a ruler for clothing binding as well? Super cool

[@DWRead-ms8wi]

Your folding technique is the best I have found. It is easy to understand, and the angles stay perfect. I had tried the method where you make a skewed tube of fabric and then cut one continuous strip. Making the tube was so confusing, I had to reread the instructions 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 single time, plus the angles didn't stay a true 45°. It's all about ease and accuracy, right?

[@SewVeryEasy]

Accuracy make its easier, at least for me:)

[@trishg374]

What a brilliant tutorial, thank you!

[@gladtidings4all]

Can I measure 1. 3/4 inch bias tape as well? I use as a double fold bias cut to make bias strip for my clothes

[@junderwood830]

Oh, my! Thank you, Laura!

[@sueleigh1018]

So clear and simplified! Now can you please tell me where to get a cutting mat as large as yours? I've always wanted one as large. Thank you sincerely!♡

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you and you can get them at larger stores like Joann's. You will find them rolled up in one big box:)

[@sueleigh1018]

SewVeryEasy You're an angel to answer!! Thank you very much!!
