I know how to make and sew a bias tape, but it always makes me nervous when I sew it, so I always watch videos right before I do. Your video is very concise and easy to watch in short amount of time. Thank you! 😊

Thank you for this! I have had a cotton jacket sitting in a closet for months with pinned bias tape around it but I wasn't completely sure how to actually sew it so that it would look professional. Now I do. 🙂So appreact your time and effort to show how to do this. Thanks again. 🙂

Can you start on the back side instead? The other (written) tutorial I was trying to follow (and failing to understand at certain key points) said to pin the narrower edge of the bias tape to the back side of the quilt being bound. You showed the narrow side being pinned to the front. If I'm starting on the back, should I repin it so the wider edge of the bias tape is being pinned to the back or should it always be the narrower edge on the side you start sewing on?
@Mellysews Жыл бұрын
The narrower side should always be on the first side you sew.

Hello Melissa, I'm not really good at doing binding ,thank you for the video I saved it for later when I have a project that needs binding. Do you have a video on blind stitching? I just was at the end of my project yesterday which was a wallet and it needed blind stitching to finish it. It never said it needed any blind stitching at all 😫

I understand how to sew double fold bias tape on straight seams and on curved seams. How do I go from a straight seam to a curved seam such as on a Christmas tree skirt?
@MellysewsАй бұрын
I don't understand your question. You curve the curved parts and sew the straight parts straight. If there is a join between a curve and straight part it's either a corner you miter or it's a curve.

So, you never really explained the longer side of the bias tape. Should that side be laid down on top or right side of your project when pinning and before folding or should the short side?

The longer side should be the second side you stitch, to make sure it catches.
