After struggling for about 2 hours trying to follow some pattern instructions, I looked this up and it was SO EASY. Thank you for making this video and saving my sanity!!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

glad to help!

[@melissanoble1621]

I am with you vandie3268! Just did the same thing, following a pattern. Wow!

[@Blooop_s]

Best video I’ve found that’s helped me with this, thank you so much. I like that there’s no distracting music, that you spoke throughout the video and showed everything up close

[@seagreentangerine2065]

I love that you don't assume we know everything! Such a clear and straight forward tutorial, the video footage is bang on perfect to see exactly what you mean. thankyou !!😍

[@mariapuentes9705]

Hands down, the best video on KZbin explaining how to attach bias tape. Thank you so much!

[@RissaRawks]

THANK YOU for posting this. I've been sewing for a while now but I'm entirely self taught. Your videos have really helped me to get a grasp on basic concepts and this one is one that I've been waiting to see. THANKS! You're a big help!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

Rissa Roo Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad our tutorials are helpful.

[@KittenBowl1]

This is brilliant, it's the most clear instruction I've seen or read to finish the neck line using a bias tape. So crystal clear!! Thank you so much you've saved me! Please keep it up, I've just subscribed!!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

I had no idea how people did this until now. very clear and helpful, thank you Professor!

[@jolynnensz9000]

Thank you. I have sewn clothing for 15 years. But mostly sewn facings on cottons or a bias band using knits. I am using a Cashmerette pattern that needed to use bias tape on. I’d never used that before and was feeling frustrated by the directions… I’m a very visual learner. Your video 100% makes sense to me. Thanks so much! I’m eager to finish my dress and I have a lot more courage now for it. Thank you!

[@oldturtlepottery2667]

I love your tutorial. Clear and concise and with lots of details. No fluff. I’ve definitely subscribed and look forward to watching more

[@diannehenry]

Finally, there are clear instructions so I know what I have been doing wrong. I'll never avoid neckline again! Thank you. I love bias tape!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

Dianne Robertson yay! I'm so glad you're ready to tackle the neckline again! :)

[@ScrappyTreasures]

Once again, you explained a professional sewing technique in a clear and easy to understand way. I'm super impressed - I make sewing transformation videos but have trouble incorporating these finishing techniques in an easy to understand way for the viewers :) Nice!

[@latalullah6655]

So clear! Your instructions are well illustrated and well explained. So excited to find your tutorials!! Thank You!

[@WorldisArt]

Thank you for this! I have seen bias tape in stores, on shows, it just seems thrown around everywhere and I have never been able to intuit what on earth it is used for haha.

[@marinaramalho]

I've been procrastinating about finishing a project because I am so afraid of bias binding... But you made it look so easy! Can't wait to get started now!

[@pastasauce7332]

This was highly informative. Thank you so much. I had no idea there would be so many steps in using bias tape. I’m glad I watched your video because it was a lot different than how I imagined using it lol

[@manalikuko853]

This tutorial is so helpful...just finished my guest wedding dress the easiest way possible thanks to this video..THANK YOU...keep up the good work:)))

[@msdeedee1808]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now I know what I've been doing incorrectly when using bias tape. Your demo made it so much easier. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and demonstrations!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

so glad you found it helpful :)

[@lindagroves1491]

You are my favorite person to learn from. You have a pleasant voice. You get right to the point, and your instructions are so easy to understand.

[@roberthotz8230]

Informative ,simplified and direct. I enjoy the tutorial. Thank you kindly.

[@videofrancaisful]

Can I just say that you were born to teach? I nearly fainted when the pattern said add bias tape..... But now I feel confident.

[@valeriekelsey3273]

Very clear, very helpful. I'm a complete beginner yet found this easy to follow, with very clear instructions.

[@donnaquinn6746]

AT LAST!! A nice simple video Thankyou its helped a lot after sewing again from 35 years NOT sewing.

[@Andral_Premier]

Very well made tutorial. Good pace and very clear. Thank you.

[@fajigyrl]

So off topic but your nails ate gorgeous! Now I shall continue watching the video

[@ccpperrett7522]

Thank you for this tutorial. I learned new tips: stay stitching first, basting bias tape, starting and finishing ends of bias, final stitching. Great video explanations and demonstration.

[@ProfessorPincushion]

I'm so glad you found our tutorial helpful

[@venusdoom90]

Fabulous video! I'm a beginner and I made a sweatshirt out of a curtain the other day and I wanted to put some bias binding on the neckline and it didn't go well lol mind you it was my very first project tho. But yeah now i see that i should've put stay stitch first and then it would look more presentable :) ! Oh well but practice makes perfect innit xx thank you for great video

[@handmadestitchbystitch6528]

Really terrific video, and very clear instruction. I was having such trouble understanding, this really makes things clear. Thank you so much!!

[@expatladyinsaudi]

Very good tutorial! I appreciate the close up of the tutorial so we could see very clearly.

[@petmomful2260]

Great tutorial---clear and consise, my favorite! Also, I just have to say---you have the most beautiful fingernails!!! Love the shape and color of polish.

[@emilyjenkins7698]

This was amazingly clear and extremely well explained!!! Thank you so much!

[@sheilaokelly6022]

This is so clear and precise. Thanks very much, you've removed the fear!

[@mrgarner4796]

Beautiful video. Excellent video shots and explanation of your step-by-step process. Thank you so much for the detail you provided.

[@NikkiVelazquez]

The basting stitch is a great idea- I'm going to try that. I also love your nail color!!

[@FriendOfChrist]

Okay! Now I understand what the instructions are talking about! Thank you!

[@joannedifrancesco4555]

Very clear and easy to follow as a beginner. Thank you!

[@rachelullman6105]

Very clear instructions. Thank you! Only trouble I had is that the staystitch was done in a contrasting colour - and that was just so the viewer could see it, but I don’t think you said that in the video (you do say it later on for the basting stitch). So my neckline looks good, except for the dark line of stitches that pops out every once-in-a-while.

[@nynurse2]

This is such an excellent tutorial!.. Very clear.. Thank you so much for this!👍

[@KGarn]

Clear, direct -- perfectly easy to understand even for a newbie. Thanks - !

[@sarahirschhorn5451]

followed these instructions and came out perfect. Thank you!

[@kimcummings624]

OMG. At last. I can widen a neck line to make a slouchy top. You are such a good teacher. Thanks, I’ve subscribed!

[@tammyhulbert]

[@lindabinmd4013]

Never used this type of finishing and could not figure out the directions on the pattern. Thanks so much for this visual presentation.

[@ElleCroft]

This is incredibly helpful; thank you! I panicked when I saw the instructions on the pattern I'm trying to make but this made the whole process seem so simple and achievable! I really appreciate you taking the time to make this tutorial!! x

[@ProfessorPincushion]

A very clear and easy to follow tutorial.

[@sandrametzler8455]

Great tutorial - your videos are very well done, thank you!

[@FootoftheCrossMinistries]

AWESOME! JUST what I needed help with. Whenever I use bias tape, I tend to end up with a neckline that stands up rather than lays down.

[@SirianLaura]

I am in LOVE with your hands and nails.

[@superskittle4888]

This was amazingly helpful. Thank you!

[@louiset2079]

[@marianedossantos1857]

This is sensacional! Thanks so much!!the best tutorial. You are great, spectacular!

[@camagnuson6108]

When sewing the permanent top stitching on the right side of the garment, it is MORE important to sew a determined distance from the garment edge, using a measurement that will include the bias tape.

[@vicckk56]

Thank you, watching a video and explanation is so much more helpful than instructions on the bias tape pkg.

[@ProfessorPincushion]

glad to help :)

[@MrsTefee]

Thank you! This makes actual sense now!
