First time I've ever learned about ironing the bias tape along the curve BEFORE sewing! Such a nice way to assure the perfect finishing touch! Thank you!
I've been sewing for a long time but your video's are just nice refreshers for techniques I haven't used for a while. I agree with all the comments about how clearly you speak, there is nothing else going on in the background and the pace you use for the explanation and the demo is just right. Sew on.....
Great video, I love that you dont have music in the background. I can understand you and hear you wonderfully . Thank you. Do you have a video for sewing zippers? Going to look now.
You are an awesome teacher for a beginner like myself. I love how you get down to the BLUF (bottom line up front). No gimmicks nor shenanigans with dumb useless music nor dance moves! You speak clearly and slowly enough for anyone to understand and I love your demos. I've subscribed for sure (and will give you a thumbs up right now and the video isn't even over yet.) I like your style and format. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with others! Unlike some other RU-vidrs, you put out top notch quality videos!
Having seen sewists going around curves with wrinkling on the right or wrong side when using bias tape, ironing it into ‘submission’ beforehand makes so much sense. Thanks Melly for following through with sewing it to the swatch as well.
Thank you so much for posting this! I happen to have a neckline to finish and kept thinking how to do that without too much of a hassle, this seems like a perfect method. Thank you so much!
This is so great you have a RU-vid video. I have been reading your vblog but I can't never follow it well so seeing U do it is so much easier and less stress :)
Thank you! I have been struggling today to Finish baby bibs with bias tape. Problem I have is the bids are thick because of flannel . 🙋🏼♀️Saved your tutorials! Have to watch several times! 😮
I just go by how the actual fabric I'm working with feels. If it isn't wanting to lay flat, I'll clip the curves or trim. If it will lay flat with pressing I leave it alone.
This is really helpful thankful. However how would you do a single bias fold for a v neckline. I have been trying to do this but really struggle. A tutorial on this would be great!
Melly Sews I mean as in how do you fold/treat the bias when you get the V of the neckline. I don’t know you curve the bias into the neckline or is there a way to fold it so it’s a nice v
No, double sided bias will end up with bias tape showing on both sides of the fabric, with single sided you only see the bias tape on one side of the fabric
