BIAS BINDING up a storm! 3 great WAYS + one I DISLIKE WITH PASSION. Neat woven armholes & necklines.

I used binding on a dress neckline and the only way it looked good was to pull it a bit as I sewed. First time just sewing flat looked awful, not sure why this was. I try to use my own binding, prefer the same fabric as the garment. Thanks for a fantastic channel, I'm learning so much from you 😍

I have a pattern that has straight grain binding. I've never heard of it and can't imagine how that won't twist and make puckers.

This is a great video that I will refer back to. I'm currently sewing a pattern with very skimpy instructions, all it says is "sew binding to neckline". So I appreciate the detailed instructions you give. Also, I was wondering if you could share the pattern information for the top/blouse with the gathered grown on sleeve and front panel you show the line drawing for? I haven't seen that one anywhere before! Thank you!

My mother was a professional dressmaker and she always said that hand basting was the answer to a superior finish.

Thank you for your wonderful tips and tutorial. I have learned some of this a long time ago but since I haven't used it I needed a refresher and you helped me out a lot and gave me some new tips. There is no quality bias tape I have found in the big box fabric stores. I do have some on hand for emergencies if somebody wants her costume made quickly or something but I prefer to make my own as you do also. I have subscribed thank you so much. I also forward you to a friend of mine😁

Cool

I love the blue and white blouse!

So helpful! Thank you 🙏

Wow so easy.I appreciate this much. It supercedes having to do a fba🎉

I just used your exposed method! Thank you. Such good directions!

Very Nice 🎉

U have done a great job educating me with crotches n bias binding. I wish I lived near u n could soak up all of your wisdom .

Thank you so much. So informative.

Thank you for this post! I am about to make the LN harmony with very finicky crinkle, viscose crêpe fabric that did not do well with facings previously, so I’m hoping I can make bias tape from it to make the harmony. If it’s too finicky, would you recommend making bias tape from satin fabric since I can’t find premade, nice bias tape, other than the packaged kind that is stiff and icky? I’m familiar with making cotton bias tape for quilts, but apparel fabric is different. Thank you for your awesome videos!

I don't really know what constitutes good quality bias tape, I just get mine from my local Joann's in the U.S.

I think I will be more mindful about buying it in the future

Oh Karina, this was sooo helpful....just what I needed. I do have a bias tape maker and I never even opened the package, but I do know where it is 😊..... I'm working on bias binding right now and had a hard time moving forward with it. Thank you once again!

This is just great. I made the mistake of thinking it would be OK if I used wider bias binding. As you said, it ended up a puckered mess and was ruining the look of the rest of the dress. So I carefully picked out all the stitches and re-did it with more narrow binding and following our steps. I am much happier with the finished armhole now. So BIG THANKS for sharing your skills.

Thanks so much for the great tutorial. You are a wonderful teacher and the first place I go to when looking for sewing help. thanks!

Great tutorial👍
