“Trying to wrestle an octopus” that is exactly how I feel attaching bias binding to silk. Never knew how to verbalize it properly, now I know 😂

Bias on silk. *stressed emoji face

[@teodoraianos1693]

thank you! i actually used this method for a square neckline because the corners were so difficult and this was really helpful

[@jewelldavis983]

I really needed this tutorial. Thank you . UPDATE: I followed your tutorial and I just sewed a perfect invisible V neck bias tape for the first time! And I have been sewing for decades. You gained a new subbie.

[@BreaknRemake]

AAAA! That makes me so happy!

[@kelleyspoerl2138]

Massively helpful. And thank you for being so honest about the pitfalls without scaring the bejsus out of me! Just terrific - a real public service to the beginner sewing community! Thanks.

[@faye8011]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's going to help me so much for my V neck sewing projects.

[@lauren5491]

I was told there’s no way a beginner can turn a round neck into a v neck. Well using this video I did and I’m happy with the results. Thankyou so much for posting this 🙏

[@raeanntourville8547]

Dude! You are magic! Please keep the content coming!!!❤❤❤

[@sharonfinch2271]

I love your tutorials. And it helps to learn new things and see how you and others do sewing tips.

[@khum3175]

Thank goodness for you. Everyone else who has a v neck tutorial has an annoying voice and I could not concentrate. Thank you so much x

[@Ms11kk11]

Great job instructing! Wasn't boring, quick and to the point. Enjoyable! Thanks!

[@soniawilliams8238]

Love this, thank you because doing full facings with interface adds extra time I don't have. And love your matter of fact personality. Very refreshing.

[@obrienfamilydubai]

Thank you! The camera position was great for a nice close look at the technique for the mitered V neck.

[@thequarantunes4272]

You saved my project!!! There’s all kinds of mistakes in the rest of it, but the neckline is PERFECT! THANK YOU!

[@chrischristian08]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!!! Such a clear tutorial on how to do a V neckline. I’ve been looking for ages and you nailed it! 🥰🌺

[@yolly2292]

Thank you from Australia!! I’m making kaftans for my Mum today and thought I had to keep it to a round neckline when she prefers a V shape. 🇦🇺👍🙌🙌🙌💕

[@BreaknRemake]

SAME! Get that fabric away from my neck 😆

[@lesleyevans6691]

Thank you so much , I've sewn for years but alawys spoil the finishing g off technique s so it looks home made. Now it looks perfect. 😍😍😍😍😍

[@skeetarus]

You are so good at explaining! Thank you!

[@ragingbonercontrolcentre]

tysm!! the repeated actions really helped clarify, appreciate it

[@nyalimuir4103]

Brilliant demo ❤ Well described and shown. Thank you!!!

[@christieciantar6611]

Such a great tutorial! I just finished sewing a v-neck with bias tape for the first time with the help of your video. Came out amazing on a self drafted dress. I love it! Thank you so much :)

[@kiticiti5594]

Thank you so much, that you teach people to press or iron that seam straight after sewing. So few people do and it bugs the heck out of me. I can spot a non presser a mile away.

[@BreaknRemake]

Totally! My students try to pull fast ones on me but I like those CRISPY SEAMS!

[@silviabarcellona527]

I love you!!! You have no idea how clear and helpful this was for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@oceanasetaysha2988]

Thank you so much for this super helpful and hilarious tutorial. Off to watch the one on bias tape now 🏃🏼‍♀️

[@pizzabirdog]

Brilliant... thankyou. I never thought of using a bias tape for a v neck.

[@risetwotwo9654]

Thank you SO MUCH!! You made this so easy to understand and follow! Trying to miter has been a pain in the rear!!

[@cherylmann5998]

Best video on v neckline. Thanks for NO annoying music.

[@nehemachantal4086]

Thanks very much. Your explanation is very clear. Congrats. Stay blessed.

[@loriearii474]

Used this today! You are such a fun teacher!

[@milenamarchettikozlov5904]

This is the best tutorial I have ever watched. Seriously! Thank u

[@KollontaiBeads]

Thanks for this excellent tutorial - I have several dresses I saved for many years for altering the necklines, which are too high. Would like to turn several into v-necks, and now I know how to do this without worrying about a full-blown matching facing. My first practice "v" was almost perfect thanks to your clear instructions!

[@kiwaniallen3161]

I love yor energy. Thanks for this. Facings can be SUPER annoying sometimes especially for summer/light weight gaments. Bias binding for the win!

[@robinwashburn8251]

Oh my goodness, I love this video!! You are such a good teacher and funny! Keep them coming!

[@JoshuaBabarinde]

THANK YOU. I needed this, as I had been struggling with this for a while.

[@ellenb6222]

You're the first person to tell me that bias tape has a difference in size of the folds. Thankyou made my sewing much easier x

[@BreaknRemake]

So many options with bias tape! Have you made your own?

[@CyclingM1867]

@@BreaknRemake how do you make bias tape? Do you have a video for that? I just found your channel today while looking for a tutorial on b necklines. Thanks for this one. 🙂

[@darknessfierce4209]

you make bias tape by cutting out fabric at 45° angle, that’s the stretchy part of it And then you have to iron it in half or in quarters whatever direction you’re taking a project

[@sallyhalfmoon4635]

Great video! I made a perfect v neck because of your directions.

[@vote4mel]

OMG, first video that's been *clear* to me and didn't have a collar attached. Thank you! I was getting frustrated with why it was so difficult to find help with that. I'm a novice seamstress (don't like the word "sewer"), and although I'm getting the hang of most small alterations, v-necks have been puzzling.

[@user-cb2yj1kd3z]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[@ruthsusanscaccia4756]

You are the coolest! Thank you!

[@Bluebird-xz1gw]

Came for the tutorial, stayed for the good vibes. On to watch the bias tape vid👍

[@rosalie4069]

Thank you so much, I did it really well on the first try thanks to your precise and clear instructions. I am so proud!!

[@rosalie4069]

I would recommend understitching the bias tape as well for an extra clean finish

[@kirsticatification]

Thank you for a concise and informative video! So helpful for my next project.

[@BreaknRemake]

Yay! Good luck on your project. I’m rooting for you 💚

[@cynthiaallred8236]

I was about to repair a muumuu for my mother. Good thing I watched this tutorial first! Now I will do the repair correctly and it will look perfect!

[@beverlyguida9741]

Fantastic!! Thank you🙏🏼

[@mmalan8243]

Awesome tutorial!! Thank u!!

[@janeneathey8977]

I love that fabric 👍👍👍

[@laurajones5412]

Thank you so much. I did it on my garment and it was easy.

[@kelleyspoerl2138]

In fact, once I figured out the right size bias tape to use, I followed this technique and the neckline came out great without a whole lot of juuuujing. Brilliant!

[@BreaknRemake]

AAAA! Yay! I’m so glad you were able to get a beautiful neckline!

[@antialapi294]

Beautiful

[@millydollydame]

Thanks for your tutorial, it's very clear and makes me think that I'll be able to do it too. 💗😊💐

[@2177886]

Super cool video! Thanks!

[@aliciafigueroa3905]

Great tutorial!! Thank you!❤

[@mcallan5782]

Just come across you at the best time. I’m a new sewist and I downloaded the free pattern ‘scout tee’. It was meant to be for beginners but the description of how to sew the neckline in the pattern was very confusing (to me, at least) and also I prefer v necks so it was good to find you with this tutorial. Love your style too. Marie from UK

[@BreaknRemake]

Yay!!

[@stacyhamer4636]

Great tutorial!!!

[@isabelas4206]

[@munag8143]

Thank you so much, very helpful

[@karenhooker1032]

Just going to give it a 'hot finger press!' Love it. I've been looking for a tutorial like this but everything has been using the original binding of the garment...which my dress doesn't have. This way makes so much sense. Thankyou

[@BreaknRemake]

I also think facings are just a suggestion as well. If a pattern calls for a small facing you can use bias tape instead. My facings always want to fight me.

[@gill8779]

Thank you so much. v necks are a real problem for me & it turned out great!.

[@BreaknRemake]

Oh good! I’m so glad I could help! 💚

hot finger press to y'all ;) loved the explanation (quick and dirty like my teacher always says) - thanks a lot! gonna try it on jersey hope it works there as well :)

[@ina.illumina]

worked well btw!! all with strectch stitch and finished with twin needle. just sew over the v part after attaching both sideds bc there appeared a hole..

That’s kinda like binding a quilt on the corners. Yay. I can do that. Thanks

[@BreaknRemake]

YES!! Miter those corners! It’s just an innie not an outtie

[@walterandfrancis8180]

you get good - err. I'm in the err phase of that :)

[@azria250]

thanks babe!!!!!

[@mozzer13]

What a helpful tutorial! It looks like you’re using single fold normal width bias tape, is that correct? I’m doing a project tomorrow and need to know. 😊

[@nellynazario6055]

Yes hand stitch tutorials please

[@sus8e462]

Nice & fun explanation! Wish you had understitched though--after years of skipping that step, realize now how much better the garment looks when done! Also, lovely fabric, but making a bias tape of the same weight & weave would look even better! Store bought tapes are full of sizing & made of low quality material, it can actually ruin an otherwise gorgeous top with different weight or shrinkage rates.... been there, done that! Often only realize it after first wear & wash 😢.

[@rebeccarobie]

Great video, thanks! So odd I recently subscribed and this video wasn’t in my inbox!

[@BreaknRemake]

How strange! Glad you like the vid! Let me know if you try it. Sewing bias tape can be tricky but only the first time lol

[@kellysupek673]

Are you coming back to make more videos? I just found your channel and I love it...hope you come back soon...ty for sharing your talent!

[@BreaknRemake]

YES! I'm back! Thank you for checking on me!

[@user-th4dd1cr1g]

Nice

[@kaclrks]

What a fun tutorial! In this instance would you recommend doing the bias binding on each piece of the bodice before attaching shoulder seams, or have you just done it this way for ease of filming? Cheers

[@BreaknRemake]

Attach the shoulder seam for sure! I did it on a scrap of fabric because I didn't have any garments at this stage of construction. Good catch!

[@dalewisniewski4634]

So, what is the process for doing the same thing but showing the bias tape on the outside (as a contrast). I'm working on this right now and am trying to do it in reverse-attaching the tape on the wrong side.

[@charliest.kardasism9134]

You didn't upload in a while , hope all is well 💓

[@lindafudge57]

Top stitch

[@BreaknRemake]

I agree! Get it done with way less hand stitching

[@CyclingM1867]

Is facing still necessary when you do things this way, or will this be enough? To me it looks really good as it is. 🙂

[@BreaknRemake]

You are totally done after the bias tape. Facings always want to fight me so I either fully line the bodice or use bias tape.

[@CyclingM1867]

@@BreaknRemake cool! Thanks so much. 🙂

[@katiegreen7082]

How wide is this bias tape?
