Ahhhh, now I understand from your descriptions of the various ways to use bindings! Thank you so much, Lauren! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
WOW, I have been sewing for 50 years, and have done many bias bindings. This was the MOST helpful information I have ever seen. Most of this I have already done, but I always have to stop and think, and feel like I am "reinventing the wheel" every time. I'm going to bookmark this as a quick reference. Your videos are so very clear and easy to see what you are doing! Thank YOU!
I totally agree with Suzi. I also have sewed for about as long and I have learned some better techniques from this. Thanks Lauren for the great instruction.
Iv watched a total of 12 videos on this trying to figure out making and attaching !!
Why couldn't I have found you first ! Excellent tutorial !😍
Oh THANK YOU !!! I’m a beginner, stuck on a “Beginner Pattern” for months until I found this video. Your mini-facing technique explains it all, and I especially appreciate how you used contrasting fabric and thread colors for the visuals. Relief!
Thank you so much for explanation. You have such a good smiling face, brings positive energy. Also, there was no annoying background music.
Thank you such a comprehensive tutorial on bias bindings. I’ve always hand sewn the final bias attachment to a garment, but now I feel you have given me the courage to try top sticking on my machine. Thank you!
You are a born teacher! Absolutely fabulously clear instructions, well paced and beautifully edited. Thank you :-)
This is by far the best bias binding tutorial EVER. I didn’t know there were as many ways - and they all look so professional. Thank you so much for this. I will be referring to it often!
Thank you for your video🥰 I am overwhelmed by how to sew bias neckline, until I watched your video, everything is crystal clear now. I saved your video right away for further reference. Thank you again🤗
Your method for joining the ends is the best I've seen! I'm making a poncho out of a vintage viyella wool liberty print, so I have to cut a hole in the center for the head and wanted to bias-bind that edge. Now I'm not so afraid of it, thanks.
Thank you so much..in a few short minutes you have shown me (absolute novice!) several options for applying bias binding. xx
I really appreciate you showing so many ways to attach bias binding. This was really useful. Thank you!
So clear, concise and easy to follow - great tutorial, Lauren! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the two Videos on Bias Binding. Bias Binding has been a bit confusing to me. I’ve never found information that explained everything about binding so well...you covered it all. I get it now😊
so so nice to be able to actualy follow along with what you are saying. your instructions are so clear and i had at least 3 ahhh moments while watching. thank you!
Thank you, beginners, like myself, need this info!!.
omg this is so helpful thank you!! also - it's SO NICE to see a scot on here for a change. Us Brits seem to be few and far between on youtube
Excellent and complete technique tutorial/review!!
Thank you so much for this. As an experienced sewer, bias binding still scares the hell out of me & I’ll avoid patterns that use it as a finishing technique. Now I know this video is here I feel a bit braver! Thank you. x
Thanks for this tutorial. So helpful to see all the options in one concise video. And you explained so well!!!
What an informative video. Thank you so much. I feel more confident to try bias binding with my own bias strips.
Amazing how you explain detailed instructions in such an easy way and an easy manner.Thank you this seems so achievable.

Thank you very much for such helpful information!
Thank you so much🙏🏼🌷🙏🏼
Great tips! Thanks again Lauren.
Brilliant tutorials 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks
Thanks Lauren! Very useful tutorial!
Thanks so much for this, really clear explanations. I have a question - is there a reason why the bias binding can't be attached at the same time as sewing the seam? And for binding a seam with exposed edges, does it matter if you start by attaching the bias binding to the inside then fold to the outside and do the topstitching from the outside? Thankyou!
Even more brilliant tips, thank you so much. I didn't realise I could do so much with a strip of bias.
Thank you
Very helpful Lauren. Personally I like to handstitch the back so no stitches show on the front. It might be nice to see your way of doing that too. 😉😘
Thanks Ann. I have hand stitched binding only a few times I think and its usually been on fabric that is either double gauze or a little thicker as I find with something like a cotton lawn for example, I'd rather just see the stitching :)
Thanks, I'll try the third method - I haven't seen this before
Amazing tutorial as always. Do you have any advice on how to finish a neckline with bias binding without the stitches being too visible? Thank you!
6:33 do this method and then sew by hand, just catch it in from the reverse, so nothing shows at front 👍
Thanks that's great I now know what to do......good tutorial
Hi, any chance you could address sewing a bias binding on a v neck?
This was really helpful,thanks
Really informative, thank you! I was curious about one thing though. I have some scrap pieces of strech fabric and wondered if I am able to use these without cutting on the bias?
Hello, yes for stretch fabric you don't cut on the bias like you do with woven fabrics :)
Thank you, you have been a great help!
Hi I am new to sewing crazy starting at 69 haha if put poly-cotton bias on the bottom of a t shirt and it's puckered all the way round why has that happened ?? And you explain everything so even I understand it all thank you so much yours Konrad
Hello, it depends on what fabric the t-shirt is made from really. If it is stretchy fabric then I would not recommend putting a woven bias binding on that as the fabrics have very different properties and are not really compatible in that context. Without pictures or further details it is hard to diagnose the problem specifically :)
i’m actually getting a knot in my stomach watching this 😰it’s a great tutorial don’t get me wrong but i just know i can’t do it ive ( over the years ) tried it hundreds of times practiced practiced. practiced but it never looks neat and tidy so ive just stopped even trying
Excelente!
Muchas gracias.
Great video. ❤️
Fabulous thanks so much 🤗
Adorable accent!
Thankyou
Do you not need to clip on the curves?
Hi Lauren - Thanks for all the great information!!! Wondering if there is a pattern for the dark blue tank with the pintucks? Love it!
Thanks Sydney :) It's the simple sleeveless top from my book and I did a tutorial a while back of how to add pin tucks...here is the link :) guthrie-ghani.co.uk/blog/simple-sleeveless-top-blog-series-adding-in-pin-tucks-tutorial
What do you do if you are using a fabric that you cannot iron?
It can be tricky in that instance so it's best to use a ready made binding that co-ordinates with your fabric to get the best finish :)
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Merci
Hello! I just saw this video and your other video on form tape interfacing. Is that something that I would use together with the bias binding? Do I first iron on the form tape interfacing and then sew on the bias binding?
Hello, yes thats right, on fine fabrics where often pattern instructions suggest you stay stitch neckline to stabilise them, you can replace that step by using form tape interfacing and then applying the bias binding afterwards :)
I e never heard of form interfacing? Could you explain further?
Can you use double folded bias tape for curved edges? I accidentally made a double folded bias. I can't figure out if I can use it for curved edges or if its best to use single fold bias tape.
Hello, yes you can use it for curved edges as its the bias that gives the stretch, no the number of folds. If you made double fold you can always just flatten out the centre fold and then you will have single fold. Hope that helps :)
Hi I'm a brand new sewer. Do you put your bias bindings on the individual front and back pattern of your shirt first then sew them together?
Hi Keli, if you were doing a neckline for example you would sew both shoulder seams first so the the neckline was like a loop and then put the binding on. Similarly for an arm hole, you would sew should seam and side seam so the arm hole is like a loop to and then put the binding on. Hope that helps :)
great thank you so much!
