A co-worker is expecting and I've been making all kinds of baby things for her. Oh, no...now I have to make something else! 🤣 Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@JanHowell]

You are so welcome!

[@deeleach8300]

Thanks for this video. Seems like every other tutorial I have watched makes joining the bias tape seem so complicated and difficult. You make it look like can actually do this!

[@JanHowell]

You got this. There are several other videos showing how to join bias tape. You may enjoy the last one I uploaded. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYa5p4mHdsmslZIsi=R9fa9j5TBQf_yV2a

Dove trims is fantastic for bias trims and they even sell by the rolls and great color selection! I use them all the time and they send really fast! Thanks for this great tutorial!

[@JanHowell]

Good to know!

[@margaretbass773]

[@lauriepayseur5897]

This is the video that convinced me that I need to make my own bias. I’ve made it before but now I feel like I need to make a day of it with different fabrics

My God you are very confident with your finger and next to that needle. I do everything in my power to keep my hands as far away from it as possible lol

[@JanHowell]

Yes, sewing your finger is not a fun experience.

How wide is the bias tape? What a well demonstrated video

[@JanHowell]

The strips are cut 2 inches to make 1/2 inch double fold binding. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWeth42Hpdtkn5Ysi=q2GrUawbG2eNzewP kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWeth42Hpdtkn5Ysi=q2GrUawbG2eNzewP

I am having trouble finding patterns for a t shirt dress for toddler girl. It’s just a skirt made and attached to a t shirt. Do you have any clue how to do one?

[@suehearn866]

Great tutorial !!! Thanks so much🥰

[@elhogue1641]

What are your thoughts about using minky fabric for the blanket?

[@JanHowell]

Here is a video you may find helpful for sewing with minky and plush fabrics.kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqHbqWemhMSJl8Usi=xihU0D9KNPlJfy_v

[@andreap2886]

Thank you for all your videos Jan. I prefer making my own bias tape because I can make it out of fun fabrics and it doesn't have to just be plain. I was watching someone's video Once and they were using a bias tape maker. I was intrigued so I purchased a set and even after watching video after video I still don't get it. Do you have any tips on using those or should I just continue the good ol' fashioned way? Like they say, if it's not broke, don't fix it 😂

[@JanHowell]

Here are a few other bias tape tutorials you may find helpful. The videos will be in the post as well as written instructions. youmakeitsimple.com/2019/10/21/diy-bias-tape-single-and-double-fold-tutorial/ youmakeitsimple.com/2024/02/16/make-your-own-adorable-bias-tape-binding-the-easy-way/

[@Muskaan864]

[@JanHowell]

You can Google your machine model and most likely find the information you need. I amnot familiar whith that model.

[@niksand1713]

Nice

[@JanHowell]

Thanks.

[@francineeubanks9327]

I watched your bias tape video and it was great. Just starting making baby blankets for great grand’s. What size tape goes around? I bought some cause I’m in a hurry but I’m gonna try to make it too.

[@JanHowell]

1/2 inch double fold bias tape

[@cindyravine8261]

Are you by chance from Utah or Idaho? It's a very subtle accent but I think I am hearing it. Very nice simple tutorial.

[@JanHowell]

LOL, Yes I am from Utah! You nailed it. Where are you from?

[@izbcrafts9911]

I have a question > when you make your own bias tape do you prewash the fabric ?

[@JanHowell]

I don't, especially if the fabric I am adding it to has not been washed either.

[@melodywalls4693]

Do you prewash?

[@JanHowell]

No I don't

[@Velereonics]

Wait wait. You need to do a whole like tutorial on this using the tape to like figure out the exact distance from the needle and Marquette because my machine has markings on it from the manufacturer, but they are wrong I have discovered. There seem to be lots of different techniques people use to kind of make it way easier to tell distances and somebody just needs to come up with like a repository of all those things like getting little lengths and getting your folds exactly the same way along the whole thing. Like I've seen little tricks but I haven't saved all of them

[@JanHowell]

I know what you mean
