With so many people using bias tape in making masks and face coverings these days, I thought it would be worth it to share my DIY Easy Bias Tape Picture Tutorial. Making continuous bias is an important technique to learn because it has such a wide array of applications. I learned this process many years ago from my Auntie Ann when she was learning to bind a quilt. There are so many uses for bias in general and very easy to make your own, once you learn this trick. You can make bias for binding, piping, welting, ruffles and even spaghetti straps for bathing suits. I’m sure you can think of tons of other things it can be used for as well. I’ve seen many ready to wear styles using bias as trimming sewn in free form shapes on a garment. The best part is that it doesn’t fray in the traditional way, it sort of “blooms” with wear and laundering if you choose to use as a trimming.
In this simple Picture Tutorial, you will learn step by step how to create your own continuous bias. It’s designed to use those smaller amounts of fabric from leftover projects and turn them into usable bias. You can make any width you want, with any fabric you have!! Bonus!
Hope you find this Picture Tutorial, easy and helpful for creating your own continuous bias bindings and trims.
