for anyone doing the tsuno bag: his desired length is 42.666 inches and desired width is 1.5 inches. the formula comes out to 16 inches squared-keep in mind that he has his straps 2 inches shorter than on the paper print meaning it is a little higher than 16 for the default cut.

[@asherhead4174]

How did you get the desired length?

[@gerandgadantzing5190]

Yeah

[@taylorriley7868]

Omg thank you!!

[@clthzapparel9981]

Legend!

[@MrViridiana03]

Oh no, math

[@tishsimpson6955]

Thank you Glory for sharing your knowledge. I am learning how to make a Tsuno bag for my big brother. He had a stroke last year & lost all function in his left arm & hand. I think your bag design will be easy for him to slip over his head so he can carry his groceries and other things. I love your channel. You are so creative & a great teacher. Thank you.

[@nudelrudi9828]

Man what a nice idea😊how did it turn out?

[@alexanderjnaazeer]

Thanks for the tutorial, just so you know in your formula you do [sq. units/sqrt(sq.units)] which is the same as simply doing sqrt(sq. units) there is no need for the division. To see this [a/sqrt(a)]=[a/a^{1/2}]=[a x a^{-1/2}]=[a^{1-1/2}]=[a^{1/2}]=sqrt(a).

[@nancyheisenberg]

I’ve been following you for a while and didn’t truly understand why, till I watched this video this morning. You explain things in such a way that my neurodivergence understands. So grateful for you 😊

[@ninjagriff]

thank you so much for sharing your methods! I use double fold bias tape often enough at this point that I just bought some tape makers. I love the explanation of calculating the fabric amount beforehand to reduce waste! my previous strips had too much excess, and I can't really use them for anything else since they're specific coordinating fabrics. I also LOVE that you sewed the strips before cutting, I was sewing the strips together one by one but this method is so much easier!! thank you! I love your videos and patterns!

[@mistychappell5883]

I have been trying to figure this out for months and you made it so simple.

Love the tutorial and look forward to trying others. Great quality tutorial man, I appreciate it.

Love, love, love the cone thread trick! 👌🏾😎

How weird is it, I actually enjoy doing this step. It was one of the first things I taught myself. You are doing so great. Keep inspiring.

[@robertcraigoulton7078]

Hey Dre! thanks for sharing your methods and tips. been a gamechanger for me. i really struggle with the part of this video around 5:56 where you’re pinching the fabric together and sewing the tube shut. the lines never seem to remain completely lined up and the seam allowance makes it hard to cut straight as well. are you trimming that seam allowance down like you did the first time? some guidance here would be brilliant. if anyone else also has any tips please send my way! peace 👊🏻

[@Strylover]

Good video.....Funny thing is, I bought a whole set of these bias tape makers (similar to what you are showing there), a few years ago.....and I have never used them. It's good to see the whole "how to" process here. Thanks for the video.

Does it matter what fabric I use for the bias tape? I wanna make the Tsuno bag, but I only got a shiny polyester like fabric (I don't really know what fabric that is) that matches perfectly with the bag.

[@tiffanychan6272]

THANK U

[@tiktoktrickyvideos3082]

Nice!!

[@ReeniEspino]

Any recs/links for where to get the poly-cotton blend twill you use? I'm finding 100% cotton, or polyester, in nice colors, but not blends.

[@elizabetht6512]

Delighted that I found your channel. Your projects, textures, colors and fabrics definitely resonate with me. Is there any chance you might be able to source some of the fabrics you use? I would love to get out on the web and order some. Thanks you for sharing your talents and ideas.

Might this be the intro to piping? Any tricks for making and attaching piping?

I've a problem I sew buttonholes on by viewing this tutorial it was fine now I'm making buttonholes again and it is not going forward what's wrong can you tell

[@JoJoTheClown98]

Hi!! Thanks for the video!! What is the desired length and width of the bias tape if you’re making the tsuno bag?

[@GloryAllan]

Glad it helps! Great question, you'll want a length of 135" if you're creating a tsuno bag using the same dimensions as mine. The width is up to you :)

[@masonstrickland1323]

In this video you stitch it twice, first time unfolded then you fold it back up over the edge and stitch again, but in the tsuno bag video when you show how to do the corners you skip that part, is it not really important to do it twice? I’m confused

[@eclipse6433]

Can you make a tutorial about sewing double knee pants

[@aaronli]

Amazing stuff! Never knew this tool existed

[@rmeredithm]

The number / sq rt of that number….. is just the sq rt of that number….?

[@Mwstmrlnd]

You're right, you can just take the square root instead of dividing the number by its square root. Both give you the same answer, but the extra step isn't necessary.

[@oyukicosplay2266]

can someone explain the formula to get it i just dont understand it pleaseeeee like devided what and how much .....

[@sjisjsissk]

Did you ever figure it out? If not reply with the length and width you need and I’ll do the math for you

[@petep.2092]

The formula starts out by figuring out the surface area of the tape you need. Before it is folded up, the bias tape is a very long and very narrow rectangle. The area of a rectangle is the length of tape you need times the width. The raw width is figured out by the width of the finished tape times 2 or 4 depending on whether you want a single fold tape or a double fold tape. That calculation for the width is the part of the formula within the brackets. So once you have figured out the surface area of the long narrow rectangular tape, if you calculate the square root of that area, you will get the dimension of one side of a square that has the same surface area as that long narrow rectangle. The reason you need to rearrange the surface area of the rectangular shape into a square shape that is the same surface area is because a square is required for his nifty construction method that makes a tube out of the square, which you then cut on a spiral line, and the spiral unravels and straightens out into the long narrow tape that you wanted! Genius! Hope this helps. Note: his second formula divides the rectangular area by the square root of the rectangular area, which is mathematically the same as just finding the square root of the rectangular area. Either way will give you the same number for the length of one side of the square you need to cut out.

[@kaisahwasis8434]

what’s the difference between all that math versus just cutting out a long strip?

[@GloryAllan]

Bias tape is cut on the bias which is diagonal (gives strips more flex). If you need a lot of bias tape (I use around 135" for the Tsuno Bag) then that's a big line that you won't be able to cut diagonally on fabric. Hence the formula, so you can create a long strip of bias tape more effectively.

[@petep.2092]

You may be trying to align the cut lines before pinching up the seam allowance… don't! At 6:00 he says that the cut lines must align at the stitch line, so you have to eyeball the cut lines and match them up where the stitches will be. When the fabric is pinched and stitched the cut lines at the very edge of the fabric will not be aligned due to the angled fold across the cut line. Hope this helps.
