HOW TO SEW Bias Binding Around a 90 Degree Angle To Create A Mitered Corner

Bias binding is a great way to finish off a raw edge, but what do you do when you need to turn a corner? You'll find this on some garments like the vest I recently sewed and a variety of other sewing projects like placemats, bags, pockets, and more. And, if you try it out and it's not your thing, I've got the simplest hack for avoiding it, too!

Yes!! Finally!! This is the way I learned in school years ago!! Thanks🎉

[@InsidetheHem]

You are so welcome!

[@kellykranz7652]

Thank you for the video! I'm going to make a vest this month and this video will help me with the corners. I love your videos and you always look beautiful.

[@lindaladner5880]

I didn’t mean to devalue your video. It was, as always, an excellent tutorial and the filming was outstanding. You are always succinct and a very good instructor.

[@InsidetheHem]

No offense taken! I appreciate the tip! I will never claim to be the end all be all expert on any topic including sewing!

[@jorjaprice2190]

Thank you Lindsey, helpful

[@janetlink9756]

Wow! thnx for the lesson. Very useful information

[@paol110]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@rengegrace4508]

Thank you-that was really helpful! I am struggling to do mitered corners on a 45°-rounded cornered piece of Mylar and pulling my hair out. This is useful. 🌹

[@hopekibo9044]

Thank you!!

[@foxeymoore]

Brilliant,thank you!🌹

[@Daniela-nl2ho]

SO helpful!

[@leannekites4965]

Thanks, Much appreciated.

[@Kimbohlina]

Thank you! I’m making oven mitts / pot holders and I got the nice corners on one side using your method. Do you have a video on how to finish the other side and join the tape??

[@margaretsteel8766]

nice technique

[@thecursingseamstress5412]

I always round my corners when I make pillows and am using piping. It is so much easier to put piping on a rounded edge and the pillow comes out beautiful.

[@tonyak8848]

Great explanation! Im a quilter primarily so 90s are no biggy for me(usually), curves however are not my friend!

[@stephannieschapiro1816]

Thank you. This was super helpful. I am making a waistcoat from faux leather and wanted to make a nice trim. The front has a 90 degree corner and then one that is slightly less than 90 and curves around the bust line. The faux leather is so very bulky I thought it was going to be messy but the second test one was absolutley perfect!!!

[@InsidetheHem]

Amazing!!! So glad it worked out!!

[@arevchick]

Thank you!!! So helpful, is the 3/8in the same for thicker bias binding as well.

[@niki80345]

Is this a similar process for inside corners? I've been putting off seat covers I made a pattern for because I'm struggling with bias in the inside corner and haven't found a clear enough explanation. Would you still do a 45° but 3/8 after the corner, instead of before? Thanks, this video was already super helpful!

[@InsidetheHem]

Yes. I think that's right. i've honestly never tried an inner corner before, but extending the stitching line 3/8" makes sense in my head!

[@lindaladner5880]

After you attach the binding to the front and you are flipping it to the back, pin the binding into place to look like it will when sewn. On the back, you will have a little “hump” of fabric at the corner. You can now miter the BACK of the binding to look like the front. Just tuck under one side of the fabric “hump” at an angle and fold the other side at an angle on top of it. You might need to fiddle with it a bit to get the two sides even but that is easy enough to do. If you look at your miter on the front, you will see which side is tucked under the other. You need to reverse that tuck on the back to reduce bulk and be a prettier finish. If I have totally confused you, I apologize. You can search the Internet for binding quilt corners for videos.

[@sandybush1661]

I followed it all pretty well until you did stitch in the ditch. Everything was sewn except for that back corner, and it wasn't shown after it was sewn. Can you give me some details on that? The video was very clear and your instructions were great! I may have to try some store bought binding.

[@InsidetheHem]

I’m not sure what you’re asking about specifically. Sewing Stitch in the ditch?

[@mentorhype9054]

Thanks for this video some useful tips. However, as a beginner using the bias tape, it would've been great if you fast forwarded to the end and showed how to attach/sew the bias tape back to the beginning point to complete it. Anyway, all that aside great video. 👍🏾

[@InsidetheHem]

That would be a different lesson. ;) I try to keep these super short and focus on one skill. I’ll add “sewing bias tape in the round” to my list of tutorials to film! Thanks for the feedback!

[@mentorhype9054]
