Hello friends, here is a helpful sewing technique episode for you. I know a lot of us have struggled with bias tape and binding armholes and necklines at some point. Happily, it’s an area where we can all improve. The finish with bias tape is super neat and gives you a lot of freedom in your sewing.
I am sharing 3 ways to do this. One is where the bias tape is hidden inside the garment, another where the tape wraps around the raw edge and is exposed and the third is my favourite shortcut way. Towards the end, you will see a method I dislike with passion too lol.
Come join me and let’s bias bind up a storm together!
