When joining the 2 triangles together the "ears" should equal the intended seam allowance. Once joined and opened out this "ear" offsetting will prevent the misalignment on the edge of the join that can be seen around 14:25

[@GayleHallAZ]

Actually, “bias tape” and “binding” are only synonymous terms if the “binding” is cut on the bias. Many quilters don’t cut their binding strips on the bias because they don’t need or want the strips to stretch. I’m sure there are viewers who are thankful that you took the time to carefully and thoroughly establish your recommendations in this video. More experienced viewers can always fast forward or speed up the video. Thank you for caring and making this video for all of us! 😊

[@raraavis7782]

I spent like 2 hours recently, carefully preparing bias tape out of a nice remnant piece of cotton sateen, to bind a dozen or so small kitchen towels, I had made from two superfluous big bath towels (I just can't find any reasonably priced kitchen towels, that aren't ridiculously thin and flimsy and the color fits my kitchen better than my bathroom). Only after all that work, did it occur to me, that I did not need actual bias cut binding for this task. Just regular strips of fabric would have worked fine 😭. I sew clothes normally, so I always need real bias tape usually. I'm not used to binding long, straight edges. Guess my brain was braining that day...

[@GayleHallAZ]

@@raraavis7782 I, too, come to quilting from many years of garment sewing. I totally understand what you’re conveying about using bias tape or bias trim when making clothing. We just don’t consider using straight-of-grain binding because curves and ease are so important to achieving proper fit. 😊

[@catofthecastle1681]

Stretch is not the only reason to use the bias! The fabric is stronger and lasts longer than fabric cut on the straight grain! The threads don’t wear out as quickly when the cross the edge on the bias!

[@BiasTapeCuttingBoard]

I really do appreciate all of these comments. Some are very good and some not so nice. But, that is ok , i am learning so much from all of you. So, thank you so much.

[@rncommercial]

​@@catofthecastle1681I didn't know bias offered increased strength and wear.

[@marciewhite5368]

I believe making binding on the bias as opposed to the straight grain is also more durable. When you fold along the straight grain you only have the strength of the cross grain threads as opposed to folding along the bias where you have both grains crossing over the fold, making it double the strength.

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Double fold- I was taught to use a 2 1/2” strip, fold in half, match raw edges with the raw edge of project, stitch with 1/4” seam. Then fold over to other side, just past the stitching line and edge stich

[@nadynebuck901]

When sewing, my mentor taught me years ago one important trick. Hold the right side of the pieces together with your thumb BELOW the fabric and your fingers above. While holding, gently tip the 2 pieces together UP. Your left hand should be cupped with your fingers on the fabric. That is your guide. The reason for this method is that the feed dogs actually pull the lower fabric piece faster than the upper piece. By holding the fabric with the method described, your fabric will feed evenly. It also eliminates the need for multiple pins. My mentor was a sewing supervisor for Florence Eisman clothing. This is the factory method. I taught this in my fabric store as well as how to ease in fabric. While I was teaching this once, a longtime customer yelled out "WHY DIDN"T I LEARN THIS 60 YEARS AGO!"

[@iwonakaminska2616]

Thank you. Very clear explanation. ❤️

[@BiasTapeCuttingBoard]

You’re welcome 😊. Thank you for your time and comment.

[@fondasarff9701]

Bias tape is also used in applique so not entirely synonymous with binding. Bias binding was traditionally the only acceptable binding. Like many things in quilting, that has changed.

[@gsm7983]

this is a great tutorial. This is why such videos are categorized as tutorial. Great explaining. I like this a lot. TY

[@pjacksreads536]

I like this. Once you get the process down it’s easier

[@BiasTapeCuttingBoard]

Yes! Yes! Yes! I make piles of binding and I like it too. Thank you for your comment!

[@sheilaisom194]

Wow, speaking of a pink elephant in the room, but we're not suppose to be concentrating on that. I'm totally confused as to what to do next. I've been sewing for 50 years. I think I'll stick to my old way, I would have finished it by now.

[@131dyana]

Wow what a neat idea. thanks.

[@BiasTapeCuttingBoard]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@karenvenzen1704]

I have Rowenta iron!

[@BiasTapeCuttingBoard]

I really enjoy using the Rowenta iron. I am working on a short video on that now. Thank you for your time and comment.

[@BlockPartyQuilt]

Just accounting for the 1/4” seam allowance. This is the easiest way for bias binding, I just folded my binding in half stitch it on folded over and stitch down with my 8 inch left compensating foot. Turns out beautiful!!!!!!!

[@BiasTapeCuttingBoard]

Nice work!

[@deeschoen8592]

Where is part 2?! How do I get to it?

[@BiasTapeCuttingBoard]

If you click on "More" in the description box below the video, you will see a list of links from "Part 1" to "Part 4". Or, click on the "B" logo and it will take you to my KZbin channel and you will see a list of videos there. Thank you for asking. Enjoy!

[@kathytowe2803]

this is the easy way?

[@vivaldi1948]

I had to set the speed to 2X. A little wordy.

[@Cutondogor]

Once you've done it a couple of times, it's pretty fast. I used the lining fabric on a skirt I made to also make the bias. Looks so good!

[@tangledthreadworks]

Too long, repetitive

[@BiasTapeCuttingBoard]

I agree. It was a little "wordy". After about 30 attempts at the video your voice starts to go. It's not easy to share something you have done hundreds of times in a way that is quick and easy. I do appreciate your patience, even at 2 times the speed. Thank you.

[@bevtooth]

The looooooong way to explain. This should've been done over 1 video.

[@ToriLynnH]

Way too much weird chitty chatty. I fast forwarded through over half of the video.

[@BiasTapeCuttingBoard]

Thank you for your kind comment. In future videos I will definitely reduce the "Weird Chitty Chatty".

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

The ears keep you from having the jog at either side.

[@LealyhallHall]

We both have cut a lot of bias tape he makes me nervis

[@mq5276]

"Man'splaining for us dummies

[@LealyhallHall]

This takes to long just cut it thru the middle an it’s faster andit perfect

[@esperansaloughran693]

You like your way? Then keep it, then do it and enjoy it?

[@pboos739]

If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.

[@YomeidaGarza-ku4dx]

To mu h talk talk just wants more money hell get paid for thd galk talk lii go now

[@Lsutube963]

Horrible video! Talk, talk, talk - it’s exhausting. We aren’t 3-yr-olds and if we’re needing bias tape, we already have sewing experience so get on with it! There are dozens of great bias tape making videos out there not made by Chatty Cathy - and they know we can easily roll the video back if something wasn’t clear so there’s no “I’ll show you again more slowly”. Geez.

[@katehenry2718]

Must be talking to kindergarteners who've never sewn before. Just a bit insulting.

[@gramapama7636]

How RUDE!😮

[@colleenbateman9210]

I hate “mansplaining”

[@grandmajane2593]

This reminds me of sewing class in high school. The teacher went over and over the simplest things and wasted so much time, it was tedious.

[@billbottoms8295]

From my Mom: could you be any slower. We don't need you to explain the obvious and watch you sew. What a waste of time.
