Sewing Bias Binding onto Curved Seams

[@jenniferbrocksmith3233]

Excellent tutorial! It was precise and the camera angles were truly visible! I’m new to sewing and have been doing this bias stuff way wrong! After watching your tutorial, it seems that the many others I’ve watched may be incorrect too. ? Thank you so much for inspiring me to improve!!!❤

[@colleenglea]

You are so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@binithi145]

this was the best bias binding tutorial i've watched so far

[@colleenglea]

Thank you! And for taking the time to comment.

[@Farbechaos]

i looked EVERYWHERE for a good tutorial for exactly that problem. its short but so well explained! thank you!

[@colleenglea]

You're welcome!

[@CraftyCottage]

This was the BEST tutorial ever! I was never happy with the shortcut versions of sewing on bias tape but with your video I got the most professional finish I'd dreamed of, what a difference! Thank you so much, am very impressed :)

[@joannvives4289]

I want to cut my own binding but don’t know what size to cut. What is the size of your binding ?

[@CarolynDenison]

I could kiss you. I have looked for information on the best way to sew bias binding on curves for years. This method is the most wonderful way I have seen yet. After time and use of fabric's done using other easier methods, I have found that the fabric under the binding begins to pucker up and show through to the surface through the binding. Wearing causes the fabric color to have faded out spots, and waves uncontrollably. This way...The extra fabric is cut off. Thanks so much!XXOOXXOO

[@colleenglea]

I am novice at sewing and construction of garments. I could never figure out how to finish raw edges without attempting to fold and hem. After working on sewing projects, I discovered the idea of the bias tape method. I love this method and think it's a lot better looking and professional. You've done a excellent tutorial on bias binding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!

[@colleenglea]

Thank you so much for your kind comment.

I am going to be working with bias tape/binding for the first time in a project (with a self made pattern) so I wanted to watch someone do it before I attempted it and ruined my fabric/work. This tutorial was very helpful for that. Thank you! :D

[@colleenglea]

+Txtea Ranch No problem! Thanks for commenting.

[@mj1michey]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I began sewing a few months ago and this is something I've tried a couple times, but never could do correctly, and gosh a mighty I used literally 50 pins just for one underarm on one side. I never wanted to use it again but it looks so pretty. Now, I definitely will. I think it's the way you are explaining it. It makes me feel like I could do it. Again, thank you so much.

[@YehoodToob]

An outstanding tutorial. Thank you for sharing your expertise. A total aside...you have beautiful hands.

[@auzzygirl8175]

Thanks for a very clear lesson on bias binding. I have always avoided bias binding like the plague but am faced with having to use it on an upcoming project because there is no alternative. Just a thought for your viewers. Some people may find it easier to tack stitch the tape into place instead of using pins. Believe me I HATE tacking anything but in the case of bias binding I think that is the way I will go. Great job and thanks again.

[@colleenglea]

Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your knowledge.

[@sledding9606]
