How to Make Bias Binding - The Easy Way

[@laurenclaire1386]

I've watched about 76 videos on making bias binding, and this is the only one that clicked for me. Your directions are excellent. Thanks so much!

[@margieramthum2434]

Agreed. I turned two fat quarters into scraps watching another video. Thank you

[@alexmarshall2025]

Ditto! Finally one that was thoroughly explained.

[@49lucky]

Ikr plus I now have a ton of bias binding toys.😂😂😂😂

[@bettycrader8751]

I was intimidated by the thought of making bias binding ,but I thought I’ll watch this video and your video was a great help ,thank you so much for this video .

[@homebound_lovingit]

I'm with you it wasn't clicking for me until I watched her video!!

[@conniebeane6164]

I've been quilting for over 35 years, and this is the best and clearest tutorial I've seen on making bias binding. Thanks!

[@suebean3873]

Connie Beane I just watched that tutorial. It is good, but have you tried the continuous bias way, a lot less sewing and work.

[@elizabethbatten9432]

I have watched several ways to make bias binding, your way is the easiest for me.

[@rachelropp1083]

I have been watching 17 videos full of overly complicated techniques and this was the easiest, most common sense way. It was not only helpful, but comforting and encouraging - the first video where I thought oh, this makes sense and I can do this.

[@mycourageouslife5781]

Made my first bias binding and am now hand sewing it on because of your thorough explanations. Very much appreciated 😊

[@tinaz1537]

Thank you, thank you ,thank you. I have watched many videos and taken a quilting class. This method is so easy to do and remember.

[@janiewarre9941]

This is the best tutorial I have ever seen for making bias binding. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@sharoncorbett1517]

This is the best tutorial on bias binding I have ever watched. Thanks so much Laura for making and modeling such wonderful instructions!

[@nickadams1519]

Sending Love ❤️...Sharon...Are you single? ❤️😊🌹🌹

[@cathyphegley7848]

THANK YOU! I’m making the June Tailor quilt as you go tree skirt and hadn’t a clue how to make the binding. This tutorial is spot on! Concise and easy to follow instructions! You’re a gem!💞

[@4golfing]

After looking for the easiest way, you win! This is the easiest way and will be doing it today. Tried the one where you cut and sew and match up the lines, but so complicated. Thanks so much. Have a great day!

[@BrendaSawi-o9l]

Great tutorial. A teacher you are .

[@madelinepilacinski4017]

I just watched three tutorials on bias cutting, and by far yours is the best one I've watched. Thank you!!!

[@violetrae415]

After watching several folding techniques, specialty ruler techniques, and other assorted videos, this is the only one that worked for me. No more tears...thank you very much.

[@mgs783]

This was the clearest explanation on making bias binding ~ and the first time seeing the 45 degree angle demonstrated w/ paper as an alternative! Your tutorial methodology was the key that unlocked my understanding to this topic❣️Thank you so much.

[@loismccormack9035]

I am a slow learner but seeing it done makes it easier for me to learn. Will try this method.. thanks for your help. This link was forwarded to me by a quilter friend.

[@fredarobertson5457]

❤

[@daraharper2003]

Thank you Laura for this tutorial and for addressing left handed directions also!😀😀😀

[@vlhillhouse]

Absolutely wonderful and so easy to understand! I made my bias binding this morning for my new Christmas tree skirt! It turned out perfectly thanks to this awesome tutorial! Thank you!!!

[@SusanJenkins-l4e]

Thank you so much!! Also sewing June Taylor tree skirt. I remember a couple of years ago I found your video for the same reason. You are my go to if I have a question. Thank you thank you for being such a wonderful teacher!! Oh and I’m left handed too. Please never stop making video……😊

[@roxannebowerman2381]

This is the best video I have found on cutting bias strips for quilt bindings. Thank you for being so clear and concise and easy to follow.

[@craftykay]

This is the best binding tutorial I have ever seen, you explain everything so well and in detail!

[@joane8651]

Thank you, Laura,for making our sewing life easier. This is a very helpful tutorial and I appreciated your last comment about having everything ready when you start your quilt, I had never thought about it, but have noticed in your videos how you prepare everything before you begin to sew, makes finishing that much more enjoyable!

[@ImTash]

i adore how you have made this absolutely and completley idiot proof. Thank you!!!

[@carijopowers274]

I can not tell you how I have struggled with cutting bias binding! This was the easiest I have ever done! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!

[@Washiela]

Great tutorial! ... and I totally agree with my fellow quilters/sew-ers, it is the clearest tutorial I have seen. Thank you Laura 🤩

[@CaliforniaCountryBumpkin]

I have never done bias binding, but with this tutorial, I feel I can do it now. Thank you.

[@lurandah]

As a left handed sewist, I really do appreciate that you took the time to show us what we have to do differently to get the same result. It gets tiring to have to translate everything all the time and some procedures can become hardships when all we want is the same simplicity than right handed individuals. As always, amazing videos, thank you very much.

[@KathyM-c6i]

You are always my go-to for clear and concise instruction. Thank you -- again -- for being right there when I needed help.

[@deep1084per]

I have been sewing for over fifty years and quilting for about five. I always learn something from your videos. I think you are the best instructor that I have seen. You are always clear and concise. Thank you for all that you do for us! I can't wait for your next video.

[@paulinechapman5669]

AMEN🇨🇦

[@samyriahcrain642]

Thank you! Its storming outside, so I couldn't make a trip to Joanns to purchase bias tape. I looked in my scrap pile and found some fabric for a project that calls for bias tape on outside pockets. Thanks again for the simple DIY! Have a blessed day!

[@pitterpotterhousedebilane]

I stumbled upon your channel while looking at some sewing videos and I absolutely love you! One of my most favorite things about you, apart from your awesome and detailed directions, is the fact that you don’t waste time in the video with meaningless chatter. I can’t tell you how many videos I have skipped because they’re just rambling on instead of getting to the point. Thank you so much for making these videos! I’m a new sewer and they are going to be great for advancing my skills!

[@Ndnative3431]

Thank you, Laura. I’ve watched your other videos and have learned so much as a beginning quilter. Getting ready to trim and put the binding on the second quilt I’ve ever made. You’re a natural and gifted teacher. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@joycleckley2881]

Yes, I have just watched several videos on biased tape making. I have sewn since age 11 and now 60. This is the absolutely best tutorial I have ever watched. Thank you for making a difficult process so very easy.

[@debbiesellers7966]

Hi Laura, I have never made bias binding. I watched your video twice before I started cutting. Your video was so simple I wonder why I never did this before! Thank you so much for taking time to show how it’s done and how simple it is!

[@sharondamajor7946]

I'm SO GLAD I found this! I was ruining fabric trying to do it the other way. Thank you!!!

[@traviss6564]

Of the hundreds of KZbin tutorials for bias binding, yours was the most logical, straightforward, most clearly/concisely taught...and well, just the easiest. Thank you from Arizona.

[@SewVeryEasy]

thank you :)

[@trishwalsh2266]

Great video tutorial! I am new to quilting and this video on bias binding is so well done. I was able to make bias binding for my quilt project after a single viewing.

[@deborahpearce1935]

Thank you so much for your wonderful video. You helped me to finish my Granddaughter’s quilt in time for her first Christmas. She is a preemie baby born 5 weeks early. I’ve been putting it off for a while now. I love your videos!

[@gracebarnes-filo6895]

Terrific procedure. I needed to cover cording for piping on a pillow, so I checked out your quilt binding tutorial. Perfect. You were the only one that mentioned how many inches of binding I'd get with one-half yard.

[@dijones2441]

The best instructions I’ve seen on making bais binding ..simple and clear..thank you Laura 💐

[@imageryfrombeyondartbyalia5317]

Thank you for a clear and simple demonstration. I needed the bias cutting method for using strips on projects other than large quilts and this was perfect. I'll be checking out your other videos, too.

[@adelechicken6356]

An excellent explanation, and I especially liked how you showed rolling it up on the ruler, so easy and no twisting of fabric. Lots of uses for that method. Thanks!

[@ZRubberduck]

Sew very clear and concise and simple, Laura! I particularly LOVE the part where you address sewing the strips together. I've always tried to get that 1/4" seam just right, but when you say to sew from one intersection to the opposite one. My struggle was getting the strips to align and I think I finally will be able to do it just right!! Thank you!

[@beachboyde]

Hello Laura, as I've posted some of my projects I've learned from you..... yes again, you teach us, me well.... you make my happy place (my sewing room), more happy... thank you again for teaching us on a positive learning level... Jon

[@josephinesimon3894]

Laura you are amazing, your explanation is so easy. You are a beautiful clever lady!

[@adeleswanson8494]

What a great video !! I was unsure how to do the bias binding and now I feel very confident. Thank you so much !😁

[@GrlRock]

This is the best bias binding tutorial I have come across in the 3 years I've been looking on KZbin. I put off sewing for years because the first tutorial I followed was so tedious and cumbersome. It took me hours. In fact, that tutorial even mentioned not to do it this way. LOL. THANK YOU!!!!

[@lancar18]

You are an excellent teacher! Your demonstration and explanation was clear and concise. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@MiMi-si5nk]

Amazing! I’m sold on this lovely method,will do this tomorrow on the potholders many thanks lovely lady😘🇨🇦

[@mollysmith6055]

Wonderful and clear tutorial. I need bias trim for a toddler dress and most of the tutorials on YT are for yards and yards of binding for quilts. I love that with your method, I can start with a smaller piece of fabric and not end up with so much excess. Thank you!

[@debbenjo5875]

I've watched many bias binding videos and most of them showed a special folding technique or a special ruler. Yours is by far the easiest and most understandable. Thanks.

[@JubeeBijou]

Wow, your instructions are perfect! I sure do appreciate this.

[@LynnBFriedman]

@sewveryeasy Thanks Laura. I was told that bias-binding is very difficult. Yet again - you made it EZ - as promised in your name! LOL - not even going to listen to any other teaching videos. So many comments here stated that after watching several, yours was best. I'll listen to their experience and use my time to begin cutting! Enjoy your day - L

[@Kathy-fw9ym]

You are an excellent instructor for us newbies! I have learned so much from your tutorials. I used your tutorial on how to make a memory pillow and they turned out wonderful. Thank you

[@kizmetbey3231]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You made it easy to make your own bias binding.

[@Phollenbeck1950]

Best instructions I've seen to make bias binding. Thank you

[@startipper3767]

I like this much better than the folding method! Great instructions! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@grannygamerquilter]

Thank you so much! All the folding and marking videos for bias binding were too complicated for me to successfully recreate. Your instructions are so clear, concise, and practical. Yay! You made my day!

[@danilueloo]

I have made binding before, just not bias binding. This is the best tutorial. My friend had me fold my square in half and in have again to make a triangle, and then cut the edge off. After I got all the pieces cut out, she could not remember how to put together. This tutorial was great! I will definitely have it up on the computer tomorrow when I put the tape together and next time I need to make bias tape. Thank you for a great video.

[@Grace_x68]

You are a quilting queen for sure. Thank you for sharing you knowledge.

[@mariod7473]

This is the best tutorial for binding on KZbin, a thousand thanks.

[@Zawjatulmo]

This is a very clear and informative tutorial. I no longer feel intimidated by making bias binding

[@janyeh7712]

Absolutely the method I will use. It works for my brain and left handedness. Thank you for showing us. We all have different learning styles.

[@sandyrichmond2570]

Thank you for another very informative video! I hadn’t made bias binding in several years so this video has inspired me to use it again. I almost always learn something new from you. You’re terrific!

[@reshmawatson1373]

Thank you Laura! So easy - no complex calculations, no graphing software, no theoretical math - just a piece of paper and 10th grade geometry. Imagine that :)

[@annasilver3034]

What an excellent demonstration! You made it look so easy and helped me understand why binding is called "bias binding" in the first place. What great teaching skills. Thank you for sharing them.

[@lindapucillo3493]

An exceptionally clear tutorial on bias binding. Thank you so much. No folding involved. I am going to try this now on a round table topper. Keeping my fingers crossed,

[@curtriceennis2924]

So glad I found this video about bias cutting. You explain in more detail here (than other videos about bias cutting) what that method of cutting actually is - and, it's good to know details such as that, to me. TYSM for sharing this video with us.

[@tessacoulson6854]

All these years i've been a sewer i've never quite understood the 45 degree angle. (not being very at one with anything mathematical) but after seeing your tutorial all has become very clear thank you.

[@SuzetteG316]

Best tutorial for bias binding that I have EVER seen! Thank you so, so much!!

[@nancyewing1217]

Thank you so much for this tutorial Laura. I am making my own extra wide double fold bias binding, needing 315". Your instructions even told me I had enough fabric (324") using the half yard method of cutting. You're the best!

[@gailsteinberg7161]

Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I subscribe and I find that all of your demos and explanations are clear, make sense and are easy to understand. As a relatively new quieter, you are a great resource.

[@connietaylor6294]

Thank you so much for including us left handers. Most of the time, we have to figure out how to reverse any directions that are given. Very helpful to have it explained.

[@NanaClaire39]

Thanks for including directions for lefties - much appreciated!

[@winnepeterson7740]

Thank you for a fantastic video on making bias binding from a rectangle. I usually make continuous binding from a square but this time I would have to cut two smaller squares resulting in short segments and many seams. This will work beautifully!

[@doloresash7244]

OMG. This tutorial was a game changer for me. So easy to understand. Thank you!

[@irenemakelke-way2821]

You are such a clear, concise teacher! Thank you, it was enjoyable to learn from you.

[@cakesbybeverleylloyd]

The easiest tutorial I’ve seen to understand how to make your own bias binding . You made it very clear to quickly grasp the method. Thank you 😊 x

[@eileenlorson]

Finally a tutorial I understood!! Thank you!

[@helenlouise1737]

This video really solved all the mysteries of making and sewing bias binding. Thank you so much!

[@WillowZan]

OMG! I have been TERRUFIED of making my own bias binding until seeing your video. Your tutorial was the BEST! and trust me I've seen a lot!! Your explanations are spot on! GREAT JOB!!

[@rachaelpannepacker8352]

So helpful! Thank you! Made my first bias binding with confidence and I'm so pleased with the results. Excellent guidance!

[@lauraafrouzian2959]

Great tutorial for bias tape. . . 1st time I see how to use 45 degree angle. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent. Greetings from Bakersfield California

[@cherylbell7897]

Thank you! That was the best video and instructions I've seen on bias binding. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to more of your wisdom.

[@DuluthTW]

Your method is so simple. I've got to tell my sister to watch this video. Thanks for sharing!

[@slminker73]

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for this video. All the others I watched were so hard for me to figure out. Love your channel. Always learn so much. Thanks

[@daniellesimone7769]

Absolutely agree with several posters; perfectly clear explanation for making bias binding. Thank you Laura!

[@rachelekelly1161]

Hi, Laura-A BIG THANK YOU! I am making masks and I needed to make some bias tape as I was out. I struggled for 3-4 days, watching all different videos and could not figure out how to sew them together without them coming out uneven. I know you know what I am talking about. After watching your video a few times and your close up explanation on sewing “the intersections,” I got it!!! I have so much fabric, I am now going to hone my new skill and get a variety of bias tape made. Thank you over and over again! So excited!

[@abbiebill4595]

Great tutorial! Definitely going to try this. She is clear and explains the process without a lot of extra talk-which I like.

[@hindysaks8247]
