How to cut and apply bias binding by Debbie Shore

[@lizbrown4102]

I bought the simplicity bias machine. Fantastic. But spent half a day trying to match two pieces of bias. I was hopeless. Until I now have looked at your You Tube presentation. Wonderful. Got the hang of it straight away. Many thanks. Wished I had seen this yesterday.

[@angelacarberry6055]

Didn't know how, watched your tutorial, now I can. This is why you have so many followers, you're the best !

[@visifoketi1689]

Hi Debbie, I know this video was recorded in 2014 but it is a very detail and clear tutorial for us beginners in sewing and you make it looks easy and professional and thats what I am looking for a beautiful, clean and pro finish of the handmade projects. I really appreciate and thankful for sharing your skills to us. All the best.

[@debbieshore]

[@Marympd241]

This has got to be one of the best demonstrations on cutting bias strips for binding that I have seen. Thank you for providing this information to us.

[@debbieshore]

[@rosiemarsh9461]

Thank you Debbie! You have no idea how much you've just helped me! You're projects are beautiful by the way!!

[@debbieshore]

Thank you!

[@pamz7531]

I wish I had seen this video before my last two projects. It's just in time now. Thank you ever so much for your instructions in all the projects I have viewed and made. I just started sewing again after many years and I am having a ball. Not clothing, but bags and gifts. Thank you.

[@debbieshore]

Welcome back!

[@painpuppy]

Another Excellent tutorial Our Deb! Extremely thorough demos on how to correctly make and use bias tape. May I also add that Alfie played his part amazingly well and I see great things ahead for him... perhaps a Doggy Oscar!! xxxxxx

[@dianabooth6459]

Thank you for the excellent explanation on the cutting of the material, I could never get that part right from other youtube videos. You are the best teacher, love all your videos and have made several of your projects, again thanks.

[@judypatterson994]

Thank you so very much. I'm a beginner sewer and was having trouble with the bias tape. You explained it very well and I love your videos. Again thank you, you are a life saver.

[@TheOnlyNo1Mum]

I find your tutorials so helpful. I am new to sewing and really do enjoy watching and learning. It gives me more confidence to try. Thank you

[@mariella9430]

Wonderful tutorial. Your explanation was very clear and easy to understand. Great job! Alfie is just precious!

[@brendafuller1806]

Beautiful accent! Never heard of that tool before, very cool! Always had a hard time making binding but you have made it look so easy. Will try again, thank you Debbie.

[@debbieshore]

Brenda Fuller Thanks! The little tools are easy to find, try Amazon, and there are lots of different sizes.

[@ritahill9695]

Thank you for this video on the bias tape, I was having a hard time doing this, you helped me very much. My husband is happy for me, he bought me a simplicity bias tape maker, now I can use it with your help.( he bought the maker 9 years ago.) I had trouble then I put it up. Thank you

[@millerzgirl]

This is definitely trial and error. I fell out with my first couple of bias tape attempts. I actually gave it the silent treatment. Bless! You are a fantastic tutor. Wish you had your own television programme. There is definitely a gap in the tv market for this to help crafters like myself! : )) x

[@cindyespadas3276]

Oh finally! I now understand why to cut bias and what it is for, after 5 videos I found this one with an explanation that I did understand.

[@rosiemarsh9461]

Glad i wasn't the only one!

[@udhe4421]

RosieMarsh94. There's always someone else too! Lol

[@saraburke3873]

Thank you so much Debbie! You are my 'go-to' when I need sewing help. I'm currently applying my own bias tape to my handwoven fabric for an apron. Very satisfying to put it all together with your instructions!

[@barryturnermclean6801]

Hi Debbie I asked you the other day about a bias binding foot and you replied to me which was great Thankyou, you asked if there was anyone with any other suggestions, well I have done my bias binding using my zipper foot, which I was able to get right to the edge on both sides of my work. I'm making reversible waistcoats for a cruise we are going on in 5 weeks. I love all the amazing tips you give out for us to use on create n craft, Barry from Brighton

[@WiLdFlOwEr126]

Hi Debbie not so new to sewing but have learnt a thing or two about bias binding!! Found I left sewing while the kids had grown into teenagers. Have recently bought a new sewing machine and secondhand digital embroidery machine and am looking forward to creating. Will look forward to watching some more of your tutorials as you do such a great job at it. Thanks for posting :)

[@lizziemaslankowski5212]

Absolutely brilliant video, really helpful and easy to understand, I’ve now bought a set of these tools for less than a few pounds, all different sizes. Will save money on bias binding projects. Thanks Debbie.

[@donnakimball3822]

Bias binding is so worth the effort. I also like the way you attached the pieces. I have been sewing for over 50 years and I still have to work on joining pieces. I am challeneged. Lol

[@sheridadildar727]

Wow best sewing tutorial! You have a fan in us at the sewing class, your voice is easy on the ear (Joanna Lumley type ) and you are also beautiful and boy do we love the dog as well.You take the stress out of sewing and amke it so simple. Thank you very much.

[@pjwinps1]

Thanks Deb. Very informative. Especially good to see how to mitre a corner.

[@jan..l2516]

Just found this tutorial, Debbie. It's really helpful. I've recently returned some bias binding that I purchased from Minerva Crafts in the UK, as it was stuffed in an envelope in one big untidy tangle! So, now I've seen your tutorial, I'll be able to make my own from now on. xxx

[@debbieshore]

+Jan. .L Glad to be of help!

[@jessicamarstella4781]

Great tutorial. Very clear instructions. I'm new to sewing and so happy I found your channel and website!! thanks!

[@elysiab2453]

Please, please do more beginner videos like this one!!!!! This video was sooooo good. I am so grateful. I pray you're comfortable with doing your videos as if talking to a beginner (sharing insight, terminology, functions, etc.) It would really help me and probably other beginners :-) Also, I just upgraded to the sewing/embroidery machine combo....I really need your knowledge and insight on embroidery if you don't mind. Many, many blessings! E.

[@TheWanderingWife]

As usual, your instructions are clear and easy to follow.

[@CarrieWhite2010]

So that's how to do it! I've been doing it wrong all my life. Thanks for this very useful tutorial.

[@Airmaiden63]

Love your tutorials!! With your amazing help I was able to replace a zipper in jeans. Keep more coming!!

[@Angel283]

Excellent video!!! Love your accent :) Very pleasant to listen to. I was trying to shove an 1" strip into the 1/4" bias tool to make 1/4" double fold bias tape. no wonder it came out smushed. Thanks for the VERY informative video, really helped me a lot!! I would LOVE a close up of how to properly do the slip stitch. Thanks so much foe making this video.

[@sheilalovessunflowers2810]

Now I finally get how to do bias tape. Awesome show! Thank you so much!

[@rhiannonforster4972]

This is an amazing tutorial, really well explained at my kind of pace! Thanks so much! X

[@mrs.hermit3581]

Thanks for a great tutorial! I didn't know how to attach individual strips of bias together, as I had only been shown the tube method of making bias (sew a rectangle into an offset tube which was already marked, then cut). Thanks for showing the mitre corner, and how to sew both by hand and by machine. Thanks for all of the tips. Thank you also for showing the nice tools. I may need to get a mini iron, as my large iron heats up too much of the fabric at once and scorches before I'm far enough ahead. Thanks again!

[@debbieshore]

The mini iron and bias making tool are both by Clover, you should be able to pick them up on places like Amazon...

[@itsmewende]

Thank You..!! they will both make life easier..sew happy you're still coming to my inbox...Happy Mother's Day too..

[@nancygilbert1127]

So very helpful! Thank you for this! Maybe I'll actually finish some of my projects now.

[@candacepolk9477]

Thanks for the tutorial... I was spending way too much money on store bought tape!!! Didn't know about the 45 degree angle so thank you!!!

[@kimberleytramper8966]

Great video! Thank you! I have wanted to try to make my own bias tape, but did not know quite how to do it. You have explained it well.

[@debbieshore]

Glad to be of help!

[@joycerigg944]

Thank you so much for your videos. I have, I think, become addicted to sewing, mostly bags, since I watched one of your videos. I have since bought your magazine and some CDs as your instructions are so clear and you explain so even a real beginner like me can understand. My sewing machine also thanks you as it has previously been sitting unused for many years. Have you made a video to show how to put piping around the top of a bag without messing up the handles?

[@debbieshore]

+Joyce Rigg Hi Joyce, glad you're enjoying the sewing! I've not made a video on piping yet, but I wouldn't put the handles in the same seam, it would look a bit bulky I think...

[@sabinebluhm3836]

[@casskwan]

Excellent instructional video! Thank you!

[@soniatonks]

Ahhh bless him, I could hear him snoring lol. This vid helped me so much, feel more confident now to tackle adding Bias Binding. :)

[@debbieshore]

Glad to be of help!

[@geraldinelombardo7897]

Nice! Your thoughts on stiching in the ditch. Obviously it still shows on the back side and you have to go slow so you're sure you catch your back fabric. But it does illiminate the stiching showing on the front. Love yourcwork!

[@mariatierney2449]

EXCELLENT. Thank you, found this very very helpful.

[@silviadeoliveirah]

Oi Debbie!! Seus vídeos são muito bons, você explica muito bem! Beijos do BRASIL!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

[@1954BJohn]

Super clear - Thanks Debbie!!

[@eileengreene170]

I bought a rotary cutter on Amazon, and i got 3 different sized tools for making binding with it, worth the money

[@karendeda3017]

This is a great video. So easy to follow and understand. I was wondering if you could show how to follow an inside curve of something with the bias tape. Mine always ends up puckered.

[@twilacox6550]

Been thinking about buying the tool...they are available in all craft stores in the states now....think it will be a good investment.

[@wandalinthorne9095]

Thank you so much for your videos .. I love how you explain everything so clearly and you show it so well .. I also love your accent .. and of course Alfie :o)

[@warialdasue]

I love your tutorials, you explain everything so clearly, with your lovely accent. I don’t like those little irons though,

[@AngieDawnification]

Another excellent tutorial Debbie ~ thank you. Is that Alfie snoring in the background ? ~ so sweet !!

Very nice tutorial Debbie thanx alot :)

[@rachelroseshalev805]

Hi Debbie, I struggled a bit to understand how to attach the strips to each other, but I persevered! I finally got that you have to place the angles where the widths will match. I don't know if I did something wrong, but it seems that to get the angles right I lost quite a bit of the length. I would suggest that it might have been a bit easier to understand if you had used a fabric where the right and wrong side were obvious and if you had a diagram that could be captured on the screen. Nonetheless, you are my HERO!

[@debbieshore]

Taken on board Rachel, thank you!

[@judymitchell27]

You make it so clear!

[@thahiraabdulla42]

[@ditzynwolfy]

Great tutorial. Thanks you!

[@pennyclark1524]

Hi Debbie I'm a bit ocd about wasting fabric so I prefer the methods that puts both ends together at an angle once sewn the only fabric wasted is the tiny 1/4" ears either side.

[@benandneen]

Thank you for explaining why it is cut on a 45 degree angle, I never really knew what "bias" actually meant.
