Just wanted to let you know even after 5 years your still helping people learn this technique. Thank you for your help. I was able to make exactly enough continuous binding for my project on the first try! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 doing a happy sewing dance!

[@scarlettvanessagrandy5330]

I like the editing on this video--breaks to important parts and doesn't waist time watching her make a seam, not too much needless chatter. Very good! Thank you!!

[@wendyearwood]

Totally agree! I dislike needless chatter. Just give me the info and let me get sewing

[@patsystuddard3709]

Clear and concise. No endless chatter. Many thanks for that. Plus your charm wins me over every time!🌷

[@momzilla9491]

I only learned about this method of making bias binding tonight and did my KZbin rounds to see who is teaching. You my dear have the clearest video AND best explanation. SOLD!

[@SewCanShe]

Yay! Thank you so much for the positive feedback. ❤️

[@momzilla9491]

Yes, this is the absolutely best video. I made my first bias binding and it's perfect. Thank you so much!

[@dcwatashi]

Try watching Jenny from the Missouri Star quilt companyshe was the first one to put a video out on this method many many years ago

[@yaelcohen6097]

I totally agree. First clear video for me too.

[@Ohgrowup1]

I’ve been sewing for over 45 years and this is the most helpful tip I’ve ever, ever, ever seen. My niece is a physician and she asked me to make 30 sets of scrub caps and masks for her and her staff. Thank you for this video!

[@lyocasio]

Who's here to make bias tape for masks 2020, by far the best video I have seen. 👍thank you👏

Me! lol. It's a strange world when we can't get bias tape in the store!

I am making masks too. When I tried the folds on the 3" paper, I can't get it to fold up all the way, having the center the fabric getting to match up

Me too! Using up all kinds of remnants for a great cause!

[@cocoandwheeler]

Yes! Me, too!

[@jeancooper8088]

It is always easier watching somebody demonstrate a technique than reading written instructions. Off to the cutting board. Thank you so much

[@trevorbromley-palmer]

Thank you SO much 🙏 I didn’t think I had enough fabric to bind my project. I found your video and only had a 17” square, but following your easy instructions I was able to create more than enough binding. I was so happy 🧡

[@Joyce-lq6gm]

tions are great…what I was able to see of it! Had problems getting it to play. I love the fact that you explain everything without getting chatty! Very succinct! I watch to learn something and this was phenomenal!

[@tiffanylikestodance4452]

This video has easily saved me several hours of frustration lol. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@jojosewist8921]

I have watched other videos do this and I always end up confused where to draw the lines. But not today, could see entire piece of fabric so knew exactly where lines were to be drawn. Can't believe how simple yu made thus technque. I am so thankful your video is still being shown on YT.

[@Dev-ld4gi]

I got 6 yards of stretched and ironed 2 inch bias tape out of a 20 inch square. Thank you so much for this tutorial! I love the lack of waste!

[@christinamichelle5135]

I wish people would spend a few seconds showing how the off-set of the first strip works to make sure we get it lined up properly. Otherwise, this was a great video and I was able to accomplish making 10 yards of binding in no time!

[@newbeequilter]

Would you be so kind as to tell me how much fabric you used to get 10 yards of bias binding? Thanks!

[@saricadouglas5469]

First try I thought I had it lined up like her but it was skewed :( Yes please Slow down a bit- this looks like a very enticing technique

[@vivienlee610]

There's a few other laboriously long videos that go into how to do this very methodically but I actually like this one as I can pause the video whilst watching and making at the same time.

Thank you, that is really a great way to make bias tape. I have never seen it done this way before. Great that I learned something new again!🤩

[@jgraves462]

OMG!!! What an excellent way to make bias tape from scraps and intentionally from contrasting fabrics! Thank you for this quick tutorial.

[@barbarajakubowski6636]

I loved your video! I had watched two others and was so confused! You show all the steps clearly and slowly and I finally learned how to do this. Thank YOU so much!!!

[@maetessier9532]

I tried it and got confused lining up the second seam but by some miracle it works. Thought u were crazy but I'm a believer now. Won't do bias tape any other way.

[@sweetlimes_cc]

That ¼" crossover for the lines saved me! Thanks for the clear instructions.

[@tuoidabuonk]

I love your Tutorial, i watched more than 5 videos about Bias and yours is the Useful One

[@Missadgreene]

I had to watch this a couple of times but then I nailed the execution. Thank you!

[@SweetSourMiss]

Thank you for this! You explained it so well and I always come back here when I forget how to make my own bias binding. It truly is so much better than store bought!

[@javinblake8368]

Your video was perfect. Not only did I feel confident enough to make bias tape, it turned out perfectly. The tutorial was precise and straightforward. Thank you so much for sharing this method!

[@sarahcharlyz]

Best tutorial so far. I am here to make bias tape for masks. Fellow mask makers, we got this! Be blessed to be a blessing. ❤🙏❤

[@hopefortheholidays596]

I can't thank you enough!! Your clear instructions & awesome demo quickly helped me understand the mystery of piece 17 in an apron pattern! Very cool! I'm excited to continue my project now!

[@harleysbakery1399]

Ok, you ROCK. This is by far the best and easiest tutorial ever on how to make continuous bias tape! Thank you!!

[@SewCanShe]

Glad it was helpful!

[@crystalgrace8233]

This was by far the best video I’ve seen on how to make bias binding. The bonus was it didn’t take her 30-minutes to show how to make bias binding in 5-minutes 😃. I finished making the binding so quickly I thought I had done something wrong, but I had done something all right 😅.

[@Anna1802]

literally the most helpful tutorial on bias tape I've ever seen...this helped me so much! thank you!

[@WatcherOfTubes]

Thank you so much! I had been struggling with an old quilting book's directions on how to make my own bias tape for edging. Your video uses a technique and has instructions that 100% connected with my brain. Even better, I got perfect results. Yea!

[@PsychicKathleen]

This was a brilliant tutorial! Thank you :) I've saved it to my favourites and I'll share it with my sewing group online.

Thank you Kathleen! ❤️

I looked at a few others doing this, not that great but finally here the Best Video describing this process. Thank you💞

[@julieroberts2110]

Stuck at home on the first day of my holidays. Half way through a dress to find it requires bias binding. Thank you so much. Very happy to have matching binding. Great clear video.

[@SBanschbach31]

I hope you still read your comments. Your video just saved my sanity. Thank you so much for an easy to follow instructions 😊

[@morganquilts]

Awesome tutorial! I'm going to have to try this next time. Thank you!!! So much easier and less waste.

[@erinmur7005]

Even though I watched this video before, I watched again today for a bag project where I need bias binding. I love making my own bias binding. This technique is great because, as Caroline said, there are no wasted odd triangle fabric pieces to add to our scrap bins. You are a great teacher, Caroline!

[@edithheinlein9525]

What a pleasant surprise! I expected a bunch of cuts and then sewing strips together! I know it says "continuous" but I didn't expect a FINISHED continuous bias binding! Thank you!

[@trish3580]

I'm a beginner sewer and am so glad to have found your video! The fabric store in our area closed and anyway, the bias tape I'd buy wasn't what I wanted anyway...but it was fast. The other videos I watched were so daunting! This is simple and though I'll need to watch it a couple more times - I am confident I can do this...thank you so much!!!!

[@colleensmith2038]

WOW!! Who would have thought making bias binding could be so simple. Thank you for sharing.

I've struggled with figuring this out You make it seem so simple Thank you.

This tutorial is exactly what I needed. I'm relieved that I don't need to use the whole square of fabric. Thank you.

[@sewsweetpink]

Thank you for this excellent video. With an 18” square of leftover fabric I made enough bias to make piping for covers for two dining room chairs. Such efficient use of the fabric!!

[@halos-arthur]

Thank you so much! I'm making a quilt for the first time as an anniversary gift to my boyfriend, this tutorial and easy process is going to relieve much of the frustration I accumulated as I did the sewing, layering and quilting itself. Your video is a lifesaver!

Excellent video. I learned this technique years ago but couldn't remember and I like that your video is quick and easy and right to the point. As others have said, not a lot of unnecessary chatter. There are many other videos for making bias strips, but this is by far the quickest and easiest in my opinion. Thanks much!

[@prb16]

Watched your video last night followed by a few other videos. Back here to tell you how memorable your technique was. So impressed. You are talented. looking forward to watching your other videos.thank you for sharing

I feel like i need to say this. I have tried to use this technique watching other videos but ultimately this is the one that i finally understood enough to be able to make my own so thanks so much!!

[@greenjeen13]

Yay! I love it! It took me a while to understand what you did after drawing the cutting lines, then how you pinned it together was confusing for me..but I worked backwards from the last edges that were pinned and it all worked out fine. Actually, excellently. soooo.. thankyou for teaching me this!! This is now my go-to method!

[@ninaturner7595]

Brilliant! I just can't wrap my head around the fact that a fat qurter can make so much binding! Thank you so much. BTW, I love your little clutch, I'm totally making it!!

[@prospurr4]

When I saw this video, I couldn't wait to try it out. "Magic" is right! I never knew that I could make bias strips with almost no wasted fabiric/useless triangles. This is a brilliant technique, that you explained very clearly. Thank youi for sharing it!

[@edxr12]

Wow lady, that blew my mind! Thanks for the knowledge!

[@pamcadd8658]

Excellent explanation! I've used this method for decades and am surprised that it is not more commonly taught. But you taught me one brilliant trick that makes the whole thing easier and faster - marking the cutting lines before sewing the second seam. Thanks! By the way, for those making masks, you don't need bias ties. Ties cut on the straight grain and folded over - with a bias tape maker, if you have one - work just fine and are easier to make.

[@lisavalenzuela154]

Amazing, thank you very much for sharing, took me a few times watching the video but finally got it and got lots of bias binding which was terribly expensive at the shop and also I couldn’t find the right size for what I needed! And truly the magic happened! ❤

Thank you sooooo much. I'm making face masks for my community during this COVID 19 disaster and there was no bias tape to be found online (brick and mortar stores have been closed). Your video was a blessing...you literally walked me through. I got 6 yds. out of my fat quarter. Thank you again. :)

[@bccabernet]

Great video! I wanted to make fabric napkins, but didn't have enough material to make it double-sided (self-binding). This video was straight to the point. I have twin flat sheets that I wanted to use to make napkins (happily the colours compliment each other nicely). Now I make some bias tape! TY.

[@cathibarnett3610]

I am AGAIN using this tutorial 😁 to make my own bias tape. So VERY helpful… Thank you.

[@susanrussell8195]

The best thing is the advice given on how much bias binding can be made from a fat quarter and how the different widths change it. Thank you.

[@prosperity.]

I watched other video and they matched the drawend lines together, But you lined them up a 1/4 inch apart and explained you can use any size 18x18,12x12 etc.. best video ❤👍🏼

[@consueloferdin4718]

I didn't know you could do something like that. I was doing it a piece at a time. This is much easier. Love it!!

I have never made my own binding before and you have just blown my mind as I assumed there would be so much fabric waste and with this method there really isn't!

[@ChristineKrannich]

I have seen videos 10x as long that explain how to do this in the past. I was so confused by the ends of them; I did not need to hear what did not work! I only need a small amount of binding for a hot pad (this time) and am hoping a 10” square will give me enough. Thanks for your CLEAR and CONCISE editing.
