How to make and use Piping for sewing projects

[@trishaacree7790]

I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I had a stroke and have one hard time reading, watching you helps me a lot. Thank you again and please keep making them. I also am having feeling of being overwhelmed buying material. I sew to help with my therapy.

[@starthu]

Aww I hope ur doing alright now

[@SparkyOne549]

How are you doing now?

[@carolyn_r]

Short and concise.....perfect format for my attention span! thanks

[@teejay3250]

I'm a complete novice at sewing in general. Decided to find a new hobby that was completely out of the box for me. Your videos are awesome and don't make me feel stupid lol. Thanks for your content. I mean I'm still bad at sewing, but that's just because I started sewing a week ago.

[@skiyogagirl]

Tee Jay keep going! I have learned so much thru Dana’s videos! It takes a lot of practice but you will definitely get better!

[@alyssablack6244]

You are perfect...perfect tutorials!..so far you have tutorials on everything I've been looking for to sew. Please don't stop making videos.

[@alaskacosplay]

I absolutely love piping on dresses especially historical gowns from the mid 1800s. This is a great tutorial on how to make piping. It really looks great especially on the hemmed edges of ruffles on an 1860s evening gown.

[@onceuponastory001]

I love watching your videos your explanations are so easy to understand and great for beginners like myself. Please continue making them.

[@icanmakethat8095]

Holy moley - I just made piping step by step with your video - WHO KNEW it was so easy!?!? You are a GODSEND in my learning-to-sew journey, thank you so much for your awesome videos!

[@MADEEveryday]

Hahaha. That makes me so happy to hear! Yay!! Welcome to the world of sewing :) Dana

[@the_best_lord]

Great video - nice to see one that’s so clear on all the details and your enthusiasm is infectious!!

[@crystalbolton8133]

I love your personality and your channel! Definitely not boring or hard to understand, you make it so easy to learn 😉

[@MADEEveryday]

Thanks Crystal! You just made my day :) Dana

[@karenking5357]

G-R-E-A-T video.... Ive sewn my whole life and never made my own piping... it's way more simple than I even thought! Btw: I accidentally found your video... I'll be back for more of your cool ideas! Thanks for sharing😊

[@MADEEveryday]

Hahaha. Awesome! That makes me happy to hear! Thanks for stopping by :) Dana

[@MrCharliesangel]

I get super excited when I see a new vid from you pop up. Because I know it's gonna be good stuff!!!!

[@MADEEveryday]

MrCharliesangel That's so awesome to hear! Thank you so much! :) - Dana

[@NikkiVelazquez]

I've never tried this despite having been sewing for 20 years. I am going to try it now!

[@susanvahrenakamp2352]

Thank you for suggesting to use the zipper foot! I greatly appreciate it!

[@ritukhanna1740]

Such a joy watching your videos

[@redroses501]

I love your video! Very clear and simple instructions so we can apply to our handcrafted items.

[@shugblevins]

Dana, you are a wonderful teacher. You make sewing so much easier to understand. Would you have a video showing how you do the pockets on shorts. Really having a hard time doing it. Keep up the good work!

[@MADEEveryday]

Thanks for the kind words! :) There are lots of different types of pockets you can use on shorts. If you want just side seam pockets, I do have a video for that here (it says for skirts or dresses, but the pocket technique is the same): kzbin.info/www/bejne/laeqmWBsgthgn9E

[@shugblevins]

Yes, as a matter of fact, I used your tutorial to put pockets in a skirt.This pattern is Simplicity 3506 E. It calls to cut only two pocket pieces & I just can't understand. I don't even know what kind of pockets these are. I always cut 4 . I sure could use your wonderful help!

[@faythomas8660]

Hi Dana. This is my first time viewing your tutorial and I am very impressed with your teaching skills. I sew a lot but sometimes things are not that easy to follow especially at this age[ smile] but you make everything so easy. Thank you

[@lindseynorris7151]

I have just got my first sewing machine and your videos are so useful! I have learnt so much from you, thank you!

[@jacquiphillips3840]

Thank you Dana. You are so inspirational. I'm new to sewing and love watching all you videos.

[@MADEEveryday]

Thanks!!

[@tamifaulkner6487]

MADE Everyday been looking to make a wrist pin cushion. can you help? love your videos.

[@kategasser9583]

Thanks so much for the great video on making double fold bias tape. I want to make some for the hand stitched quilt I am making for my daughter. I will be looking for other topics as I do other projects.

[@dianarlindo]

Thank you very much for your tutorial. You are a very good teacher.

[@paolabanuelos5192]

I’m a newbie and this video was great for me. Thank you!

[@awomanofgod2437]

[@karenking5357]

Me too...

[@skiyogagirl]

Thank u so much Dana! Your tutorials have taught me so much about sewing! I refer back to them when I need a quick refresher! ☀️💛

[@yizhakshachar]

great tutorial, it helped me a lot and I gave it a like. Now I feel sorry that I dumped all my old strips of left over fabric which could be used for piping. And by the way, i'm a photographer and I have to mention that beside that you are a great teacher, the video quality and editing in you tutorials are also great.

[@MADEEveryday]

Thanks! :)

[@houseofhutton3294]

You remind me sooooo much of Ree Drummond!! You and Ree are 2 of my favourite people to watch 😄

[@MADEEveryday]

Thank you! :)

[@Sewgood58mp]

Hi, I take a lot of Craftsy Classes. One class was making pillows. The instructor had to make bias tape for piping. I can’t believe how she cut the fabric for for tape. Your instructors were so much easier.

[@HeatherNicola]

Thank you for yet another perfectly presented video - your channel has really inspired me!

[@MADEEveryday]

That's great to hear! Thanks Heather :) Dana

[@suzannerichardson6711]

you're awesome! You make sewing look so easy. Thanks for sharing.

[@maryc4463]

I had no idea you could buy piping already made lol. I also didn't know how to make it so I just used some wool and it worked great!!

[@KM-gr8ow]

Love the details regarding the piping!!

[@marinadi532]

Love your videos. That dress looks so pretty.

[@jamieevans1387]

I love your videos so much! Thanks for this particular tutorial. In some sewing books, their technique is more complicated where yours is to the point. Also, your fabric is beautiful!

[@MADEEveryday]

Thank you so much! I'm glad it makes sense! :) Dana

[@apaniiwachante]

I love your videos!!!! you explain so well. I'm trying to learn to sew and you've helped so much. I can make crib sheets and pillows for my 1&2 year older room. now to learn how to make a diaper bag and carseat covers since my sister is expecting! Wouldn't that be a great shower gift?!

[@MADEEveryday]

[@denganbrian1230]

what is the type/model of your baby lock machine Mrs. Dana? :D Thk you..

[@AdoradoraAngelaLopez]

So cool I can't wait to make some

[@Gina-bt7qk]

That would look great as a hand / beach bag strap!

[@katielove9932]

Your Baby Lock machine looks similar to mine. I'm not sure if your's is a combination sewing and embroidery machine or a sewing machine? If it's a dual machine, could you show us how to embroidery? I haven't used my feature of that in years and need to see again how it's done. Thanks.

[@MADEEveryday]

Hi Katie, I don't have the embroidery options on my machine. Sorry! But I know that you can find lots of videos on the Baby Lock site and channel. Check around on there! Dana

[@tdibari]

First off I want to thank you for your tutorials. For someone that doesn't sew you make it look very doable. My question is what tool are you using to cut the strips of fabric and what is the mat called that you are cutting them on?

[@SparkyOne549]

I hope you already found out your answer. In the case you haven’t, it’s a rotary cutter and cutting mat.

[@RaviKumar-pp3pr]

you are very beautiful ❤❤

[@Katwashere71]

You are so creative, helpful and beautiful xx

[@oxmanagain]

You made that look easy thanks for the video good job.

[@thecharmeddaisy3043]

[@37olemiss]

First of all, I just discovered your videos and I can't stop watching them! They are so helpful! Thank you for doing them! On your piping video, you have a little girls' dress that is super cute. Is there a pattern that you could share with us for that little dress?

[@shirleyoldham8773]

When you sewed the piping to the black fabric, which foot did you use?

[@lourdescrohare5858]

1) I am having my outdoor sofa reupholstered What size cord is usually used for the contrasting piping 3/8" or 1/4"? 2) I see the word "Broadcloth" used a ready made piping Can I buy Brown broadcloth in my fabric store to use as the piping material? or should i get something firmer like duckcloth

[@darkdeseption]

Hi, I have subscribed to your channel and I just love it. Your clear and concise instructions are great. I am a beginner still. I do have a question about this post. The little yellow dress is just adorable and it looks like you lined it, or layered?? Do you have a video demonstrating how one could sew a lining in a dress that perhaps your "perfect" material is a bit thin? Especially for a young girl. Thank you for all your helpful videos, I have made a few things following your instructions!!

[@olivewoo522]

could you also take a plastic straw and tape it to the side of your sewing machine just above the foot area? You thread the piping through it, and it goes under the needle. I think i saw something like this on a reel.

[@shadefestus2693]

Thanks for tutorials its been of help to me! since the baby lock machine is not sold on line pls how can i get one i'm from Nigeria!

[@tabasummalik4600]

I'm in love with your sewing machine. Which one is it xx

[@MADEEveryday]

My current sewing machine is a Baby Lock BRILLIANT. If you're looking to buy a good entry level machine, I love many machines in this series called JOY, ZEAL, and JUBILANT.

are there different size piping foots for larger piping?

[@tawany3593]

Thanks for sharing , I love your videos , I'm new sewing I have my new baby lock aventura

[@xofeliciapaige]

Just came to your channel thinking maybe I'd find a new video 😂 your blog was the first blog I started reading when I began sewing. I'm still so new to it. Anyway, wanted to drop a video or blog entry request (not sure if there's already one up)...of how to pick fabric! Or even read fabric tags. I always find myself at the fabric store feelings so overwhelmed by the amount of fabric and I have no idea what to pick for certain projects!

[@HeatherNicola]

..like your comment - and yes, great idea - I asked my fabric store the other day to tell me about the markings and it turns out the row of numbers in circles, denotes how many colour options there are in that particular design, hence the reason they are marked with the base colour - now I know what colours I can get in that design! Worth knowing! ;-)

[@katdanielsonline]

[@alistairblackie3703]

[@alilalande9348]

So glad I found your videos, they are so helpful. I stumbled upon them on Pinterest. I was wondering if you have a supplier for all your tools, like a bias tape maker and the rotary cutter.i'm in Canada but I was hoping to find them online somewhere. Thanks a lot

[@jknighton3609]

I have some old minky soft fabric and would like to use it for cording on a pillow - would that fabric work?

[@MADEEveryday]

You could make it work, but it will be very bulky as you sew. I would use a skinny cord inside.

[@juliamason8393]

I was working on a bag for my daughter and she bought the wrong color for the bag. I bought the bias tape that was the right color and ironed open and used it to make my piping for her bag. It matched very closely to the lavender in the print.

[@brittanythompson4032]

How much is the babylock lyric sewing machine? And where did you get yours? Please answer! Thanks and love your vids! Hugs from North Carolina!

[@MADEEveryday]

Brittany Thompson I'm not sure the exact cost, you'll need to call your local sewing shop and ask what they're selling for. I live in Austin, TX and my local Baby Lock dealer/Sewing machine shop is called Sew Much More.

Hi.. What is piping useful for in bags? Thanks 🙂

[@MADEEveryday]

It's really just an embellishment....to add a bit of decor or a pop of color around the edges. It looks really cool to use piping on more 3-D kind of bags, that have more dimension than a flat tote bag.

[@mazinelgizouli8149]

@@MADEEveryday thanks 🙂

[@mazinelgizouli8149]

Sorry another question 😅.. Could I use lock stitch machine for sewing laptop bags? Does it matter straight or lock stitch?

[@MADEEveryday]

@@mazinelgizouli8149 I'm not sure what you mean. I would just experiment and see what works for you!

[@mazinelgizouli8149]

Don't worry I will try to figure out in web.. Thank u 🙂

That was great but... how does one hide the ends?

[@kelleyselby3855]

I love ur work what is the number to that machine I'm trying to find it and can not locate it

[@MADEEveryday]

+Kelley Selby I have a Baby Lock brand machine, called: LYRIC. You can read all about here: www.danamadeit.com/2014/11/my-new-sewing-machine-and-how-to-pick-your-own.html The price varies depending on your local sewing machine store. So look up a local dealer in your area (you can find this on the baby lock site babylock.com/ or with a google search) and you can ask them over the phone. They often run in-store specials or might knock some off the price for you if you go into the store.

I have to get me one

hey Dana, I too would like to buy the strip cutting tool. could u pls tell me what is the rolling cutting tool is called

Thanks verry verry much it's video verry amazing and amportan to my thanks again 😙😙

[@TWMAC2011]

I would multiply the diameter X 3 with thicker cording. (just a math thing, as pi is 3.14). Otherwise your seam allowance may be too narrow to catch securely.
