Best video I’ve found that’s helped me with this, thank you so much. I like that there’s no distracting music, that you spoke throughout the video and showed everything up close
After struggling for about 2 hours trying to follow some pattern instructions, I looked this up and it was SO EASY. Thank you for making this video and saving my sanity!!
I love that you don't assume we know everything! Such a clear and straight forward tutorial, the video footage is bang on perfect to see exactly what you mean. thankyou !!😍
THANK YOU for posting this. I've been sewing for a while now but I'm entirely self taught. Your videos have really helped me to get a grasp on basic concepts and this one is one that I've been waiting to see. THANKS! You're a big help!
This is brilliant, it's the most clear instruction I've seen or read to finish the neck line using a bias tape. So crystal clear!! Thank you so much you've saved me! Please keep it up, I've just subscribed!!
Thank you. I have sewn clothing for 15 years. But mostly sewn facings on cottons or a bias band using knits. I am using a Cashmerette pattern that needed to use bias tape on. I’d never used that before and was feeling frustrated by the directions… I’m a very visual learner. Your video 100% makes sense to me. Thanks so much! I’m eager to finish my dress and I have a lot more courage now for it. Thank you!
Once again, you explained a professional sewing technique in a clear and easy to understand way. I'm super impressed - I make sewing transformation videos but have trouble incorporating these finishing techniques in an easy to understand way for the viewers :) Nice!
9 years later and still immensely helpful, i was about to cry trying to figure out wtf this sewing pattern wanted from me before i watched this! Thank you!!! 😂😅
Wonderful tutorial. I am a visual person and I have a hard time reading and understanding directions when I have to read them but your tutorial was so good and helped me understand so much better. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now I know what I've been doing incorrectly when using bias tape. Your demo made it so much easier. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and demonstrations!
I've been procrastinating about finishing a project because I am so afraid of bias binding... But you made it look so easy! Can't wait to get started now!
This tutorial is so helpful...just finished my guest wedding dress the easiest way possible thanks to this video..THANK YOU...keep up the good work:)))
Thank you for this tutorial. I learned new tips: stay stitching first, basting bias tape, starting and finishing ends of bias, final stitching. Great video explanations and demonstration.
Very clear instructions. Thank you! Only trouble I had is that the staystitch was done in a contrasting colour - and that was just so the viewer could see it, but I don’t think you said that in the video (you do say it later on for the basting stitch). So my neckline looks good, except for the dark line of stitches that pops out every once-in-a-while.
This was highly informative. Thank you so much. I had no idea there would be so many steps in using bias tape. I’m glad I watched your video because it was a lot different than how I imagined using it lol
This is incredibly helpful; thank you! I panicked when I saw the instructions on the pattern I'm trying to make but this made the whole process seem so simple and achievable! I really appreciate you taking the time to make this tutorial!! x
Fabulous video! I'm a beginner and I made a sweatshirt out of a curtain the other day and I wanted to put some bias binding on the neckline and it didn't go well lol mind you it was my very first project tho. But yeah now i see that i should've put stay stitch first and then it would look more presentable :) ! Oh well but practice makes perfect innit xx thank you for great video
Thank you for this! I have seen bias tape in stores, on shows, it just seems thrown around everywhere and I have never been able to intuit what on earth it is used for haha.
Hi Professor Pincushion, Thank you for this very helpful video. I really like bias cut clothes and I have searched far and wide to find a tutorial video on how to alter a skirt that is cut on the bias. I have ordered several vintage patterns for lingerie, skirts and dresses that are bias cut. I need to increase the size on most of them. I watched your video on increasing a skirt cut in line with the regular weave and I would like to know if the alteration to a bias-cut garment is accomplished in the same way. Thanks, and thank you so very much for all your help. It opens up whole new worlds for us folks out here.
matt bard bias cut just means that you're cutting your pattern diagonally across the grain so that even if the fabric is a woven, it will end up having a bit of stretch to it. So if all you're doing is adding a bit of measurement to the hip, I think you can still do the alteration the same, regardless if the pattern will eventually be placed on the bias. good luck!
thanks a lot...it never occured to me, that biastape could be used only inside the garment. I've always used it like a binding on quilts and NEVER liked the result. I think this might just be the solution! You made my day!
Thank you for these videos. I have learned so much. Quick question, why do you use a basting stitch first? Just wondering why you couldn't skip that, and sew the bias tape with a normal stitch. I am sure there is a good reason, as the written instructions for the kids outfit I am making have you do it as well...
When sewing the permanent top stitching on the right side of the garment, it is MORE important to sew a determined distance from the garment edge, using a measurement that will include the bias tape.
Really great video. One question, what is the purpose of the basting stitch? I'm guessing it needs to be as straight as possible so that the final stitch will be also.
You do the basting stitch from the inside so you can make sure that you catch the bias tape-however, that means that the "ugly" side of the stitch is on the outside of the garment, which you don't want. The basting stitch gives you a guide to follow when you sew the finished hem on the outside.
No, it needs to be easy to remove. When you sew the final top stitching, you need to do that a determined distance from the garment edge -- focus on that.
Hi, thanks for the video. I've never done this before, but I'm making a dress for my daughter. I'm going through the pattern instructions and researching everything I don't understand (most of it !). I'd like to know the point of the basing stitch, I don't understand its purpose. Could this step be skipped ? Thanks, Rob.
Wonderfully shown!...question...at the 3:50 minute spot I no longer see the black stay stitch you sewed in the beginning, I only see the white binding tape stitch, did you pull the stay stitch out or did the white binding tape stitch cover it?
great tutorial thank you. l make cloth dolls and some have the neckline gathered to fit their small necks. l don't like using just the raw edge so using the same material to make a bias strip would be neater and not bulky. The bought bias binding is thicker and bulky.
iknithappy yup, I would just have the neckline pregathered and basted into place. Instead of starting and stopping your bias tape at a shoulder seam, you can start and stop at a fastener closing like a zipper and it'll look nice. :)
It would be really helpful if you could explain *why* you take the steps that you do. For example, why sew the bias tape from the inside with a basting stitch first, before sewing it again with a regular stitch from the outside? I'm guessing you do it this way rather than going straight to sewing the regular stitch without the basting stitch first so that you can be sure to catch all of the bias tape with the regular stitch, as you then have the basting stitch to guide you on where the edge of the tape is. I find that understanding the theory behind why something is done a particular way helps me to learn much more easily than if I am given an arbitrary list of steps without any explanation of why it is done that way.
LifeSizeTeddyBear yes, the basting stitch is just for a guideline so we can be sure that it's being caught on the wrong side, but still looks the best on the right side. sorry for the confusion
Professor Pincushion I have McCalls M6224 and i've never used 18" tubular or 36" flat ribbed kint for veiw B is there anyway you could help or make a tutorial on how you would apply this? For the sleeves?
LifeSizeTeddyBear me too!!! i was like..."that basting stitch is so unnecessary!" if you're doing production for an actual line of clothing that you will sell, this extra step will definitely eat away from your precious time...so for me, i would probably just sew it in place right away and skip the basting. but...professor pincussion is really amazing at these tutorials!!! so...thanks to her.
Professor Pincushion Couldn't you turn the wrong side up and stitch on the wrong side on the last part so you don't have to sew the black stitch to then remove?
yes, you can definitely have it showing! Instead of sewing the bias tape on the right side, originally, sew it on the wrong side of the fabric. That way when you flip it over, it'll be on the outside. If you want to have the bias tape on both sides, then you can use double folded bias tape. We have a tutorial on different types of bias tape and how to use them here: www.professorpincushion.com/professorpincushion/bias-tape-101/
I hope this isn't a stupid question, but when finishing raw edges on a garment at the neck-hole or armholes, you have to do this BEFORE you sew up the side seams, right? Otherwise you can't sew around the hole in question without sewing it closed? Thanks in advance for any answers. I am brand new to sewing and think I'm starting with a little too ambitious of projects (and not studying and being patient enough with the learning required). I also think I need a bigger table space for cutting fabric, etc. I'm using a Singer 301a from 1956 that I inherited.
+mattachine you'd add the bias tape after sewing side seams. You don't want to sew your armhole or neckline closed so you can slip it onto the machine base so it rotates around or, if it won't fit, just fold the underside out of the way. You may have to keep adjusting and checking to make sure the opposite side isn't getting stitched but that's how you handle it. :)
+Professor Pincushion Thank you so much for replying! My machine sits in it's cabinet (the kind that you can fold it under into the cabinet) so, when in the cabinet it is flat all the way across where the needle goes in the hole. I guess practice will reveal if taking it out and rotating it around or trying the fold under method works best for me. I made a half-way decent shirt and I'm afraid to mess up when getting to finishing off the arm and neck holes. Your videos are very helpful, so thanks again.
+mattachine no worries! There's not much you can mess up that you can't just remove the stitches and try again. I know it's scary but sometimes you just have to jump in and go. You can do it! :D
I am a beginner sewer and just needed to see how to sew a bias tape, as I have been sewing with it the wrong way, but I am not using it on necklines, only as a trim for Dish Soap Bottle Aprons.
If i wanted to finish an edge AND create a band of color with the bias tape that is meant to be seen on the outside of the garment, I could technically still follow this tutorial and just do the work on the opposite side that you are demonstrating on, correct?
Thanks for the tutorial. I am quite new to sewing, so I'm wondering if you could help "diagnose" my situation based on the symptoms (I think I did about 80% of your steps in the video above, but the results were not like yours): I never use stay stitch, but I use those iron on bias tape as a base (is it called something else maybe? It comes in a big roll & only in white), then I sew on the actual bias tape exactly like your steps. But mine always end up gaping a bit; only staying flat when I iron them. I read the purpose of the iron on tape (or hemming tape) is to replace stay stitch, to prevent stretching of neckline. HELP.
I forgot to say, I also under stitch the bias tape to the inner side of the fabric, after I sew the bias tape on. So at the end of that, I end up with 2 lines visible on the inside. (I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say. This is all so confusing to me.)
If I'm sewing bias binding as a decorative feature (half visible on the outer fabric) using the same technique, do I still cut triangles along the curve before folding the bias binding over? Also, great video!

AT LAST!! A nice simple video
Thankyou its helped a lot after sewing again from 35 years NOT sewing.
I love your tutorial. Clear and concise and with lots of details. No fluff. I’ve definitely subscribed and look forward to watching more
You are my favorite person to learn from. You have a pleasant voice. You get right to the point, and your instructions are so easy to understand.
Can I just say that you were born to teach? I nearly fainted when the pattern said add bias tape..... But now I feel confident.
9 years later and still immensely helpful, i was about to cry trying to figure out wtf this sewing pattern wanted from me before i watched this! Thank you!!! 😂😅

How to attach cording to fabric
Your video is so easy to follow. You explain things very well, thank you.
Now I can finish that blouse I started☺️
yay! you can do it :)
Informative ,simplified and direct. I enjoy the tutorial. Thank you kindly.
Really terrific video, and very clear instruction. I was having such trouble understanding, this really makes things clear. Thank you so much!!
OMG. At last. I can widen a neck line to make a slouchy top. You are such a good teacher. Thanks, I’ve subscribed!
You are so welcome!
Very good tutorial! I appreciate the close up of the tutorial so we could see very clearly.
Clear, direct -- perfectly easy to understand even for a newbie. Thanks - !

Ahh, you saved me again. I was stuck and now I can finish my shirt. Thank you!
This is so clear and precise. Thanks very much, you've removed the fear!
AWESOME! JUST what I needed help with. Whenever I use bias tape, I tend to end up with a neckline that stands up rather than lays down.
I am in LOVE with your hands and nails.
Very well made tutorial. Good pace and very clear. Thank you.
thanks a lot...it never occured to me, that biastape could be used only inside the garment. I've always used it like a binding on quilts and NEVER liked the result. I think this might just be the solution! You made my day!
Thank you for this video! I've had a blouse sitting for a week because I couldn't figure out how to apply the binding!
glad to help :)
A very clear and easy to follow tutorial.
Very clear and easy to follow as a beginner. Thank you!
The stay stitch makes it lay correctly! Thanks.
Brilliant explanation. Most useful. Thank you a million❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
followed these instructions and came out perfect. Thank you!
I love using bias tapes for decorative and functional purposes. Thank you for the informative video. :-)

The basting stitch is a great idea- I'm going to try that. I also love your nail color!!
Fantastic video. It's very easy to understand. I'm ready to go try it!
When sewing the permanent top stitching on the right side of the garment, it is MORE important to sew a determined distance from the garment edge, using a measurement that will include the bias tape.
So off topic but your nails ate gorgeous! Now I shall continue watching the video
You have helped me learn so much! Thank you. I’ve been wondering how to fix neck lines
Thank you, watching a video and explanation is so much more helpful than instructions on the bias tape pkg.
glad to help :)
Many thanks for the excellent tutorial. Saved me from guessing incorrectly.

Wonderfully shown!...question...at the 3:50 minute spot I no longer see the black stay stitch you sewed in the beginning, I only see the white binding tape stitch, did you pull the stay stitch out or did the white binding tape stitch cover it?
it covered it. You don't have to remove stay stitches unless you see them after it's all done
@@ProfessorPincushion thanks!
This was amazingly clear and extremely well explained!!! Thank you so much!
great tutorial thank you. l make cloth dolls and some have the neckline gathered to fit their small necks. l don't like using just the raw edge so using the same material to make a bias strip would be neater and not bulky. The bought bias binding is thicker and bulky.
Brilliant and clear. Thank you for putting this on.
This is such an excellent tutorial!.. Very clear.. Thank you so much for this!👍
Professor Pincushion can you also use this technique on a gathered neckline, or with a zipper closure or button closure? Thanks!
iknithappy yup, I would just have the neckline pregathered and basted into place. Instead of starting and stopping your bias tape at a shoulder seam, you can start and stop at a fastener closing like a zipper and it'll look nice. :)
Thank goodness I stumbled on this video. I'm making a blouse where the directions give no details on how this is to be done:)
Christina Little yay! Glad we were able to help :)
Thanks for the tutorial. Your fingers and fingernails are so beautiful 😍
انت راءعة وقناتك ممتعه جدا انا اشكرك على التصوير الواضح والتوضيح في الشرح
Thanks for demystifying this for me. So bias tape doesn''t shrink or bleed, We can use bias tape without washing it, right?
This was very helpful! Wish me luck as I finish my sleeveless dress!
Great tutorial - your videos are very well done, thank you!
Good directions and visuals. Thanks. I love UA-cam.
Thank you!! Best tutorial I've found for this

Thanks i didn't see that it was one side and next the other side . I understand now
Your tutorials help me so much - thank you!
would you put it in differently if you wanted the bias tape to be seen? could you do a video with bias being on the outside of the garment?
yes, you can definitely have it showing! Instead of sewing the bias tape on the right side, originally, sew it on the wrong side of the fabric.

If I'm sewing bias binding as a decorative feature (half visible on the outer fabric) using the same technique, do I still cut triangles along the curve before folding the bias binding over? Also, great video!
+Hannah Just only if the seam itself is curvy. It'll help it lay more flat. :)
Great video! Fabulous nails!
This was awesome! Thanks professor!
This is SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU!
