Super tip with the starch spray, I never thought of that!!! It’s a total game changer!!! Thanks for the video ♥️👍

I just found this tutorial today. Thank you so much for listing the width to cut the bias for each bias maker. Now I am ready to try the process with a lot more confidence.

If you put the tube over the ironing board with a cutting mat on it you can use a rotary cutter. Much faster. Great instructor.

Thank you 🙏 SOO MUCH! Yours is the BEST tutorial on this! ❤

Thanks for the bit at the end where you talk through how you use bias binding.

Now I know how wide my bias strips should be depending on the bias tape maker. Just double it. Thanks so much!

I love how you show your mistakes that we should watch for while making our items. Showing how to make so much bias out of a small square is very helpful. I like bias tape for many things--but you have shown how you successfully use bias tape for many applications. Mostly, sewing patterns use a lot of facings, which are a pain and not always better. I also. Really like how you use self bias on a shirttail hem. I make a lot of shirts and this will look much nicer.

Really clear instructions...best bias tape tutorial

I've never seen this method before! thank you!

Your’re the best! I want you to know I’ve been to Brazil twice and I plan to make a trip there at least once a year ❤

Loved your instructions and inspiration what to use bias tape for. I can see myself just buying fabric and using left over fabric purely for bias tape. Thank you ❤️

Brilliant tutorial and lots of useful information and tips too. Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you! I’ve made bias tape before and I still found your video useful. The tip on matching the lines at the seam allowance is my favourite. I went and made myself a parallelogram (the shape worked well with the scraps I have) and saved myself one seam :D

I looked for the gear for years and years and only ever made tiny amounts by hand and with cotton. Not the possibilities are endless and it’s silly how these little gadgets make all the difference.

You do amazing work and have great advice and tips. The hems are wonderful. Next garment for me...

Absolutely wonderful. I remember my mother showing us how to cut the continuous bias strips, but she didn't have the tool. I remember her just sewing one edge onto the garment, folding it with her fingers, and sewing the other edge onto the garment. Your garments are beautiful. I'm trying to get back to sewing after a long time not sewing, so I'm in awe of your talent. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Lynn

I have been using this technique since 1977 - a game changer! Thanks for sharing.

This was so helpful and explained so well. Thank you!

The inside of your clothes are just as beautiful as the outside!! Have you seen the gypsy gripper? It has two suction cups on it to grip a clear wide ruler and it helps to hold your fabric while you use the ruler as a guide and use your rotary cutter.

Maybe the 9 or 6 mm gadget would be good for making spaghetti straps on a cami or something like that. I haven’t done it, it’s just an idea! Your tutorials are SO nice to follow-thank you!

Thanks, Karina! I've just bought the 18 and 25mm bias tape makers and I even thought you could make a tutorial about it, since you use it a lot. And today this... perfect timing!

Karina, I just love your videos. You are so inspirational and your garments are beautiful! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.♥

This is outstanding sewing that you do. Love it.

The smaller bias tape sizes, 6 mm or 12 mm, are good for making fabric ties, instead of fiddling with rouleau loops. Nancy Zieman, a USA sewist on public television, suggested using a straight pin to guide the fabric through the tape maker, but whatever works for you! THANK YOU for such an informative video.

Hi Karina, Sorry I haven't been commenting as much. I am not well. This tutorial was brilliant!!! Just wonderful thank you! I'm a quilter and this is a great way to get a lot of bias binding if I need it. I also wanted to mention for assistance with ironing see if you can't find a Tailor's Clapper. It is wood that helps your fabric to become extremely flat. After you iron, you put the Clapper on the fabric it absorbs the heat leaving it really flat. Helps a great deal when making bias tape for e.g.

I am going to make more of an effort to finish my garments to the high standards you do. Great video.

I enjoyed watching your video, and I am a happy, new subscriber. I made my very first continuous bias tape last summer. I wish I had found your tutorial back then. My bias tapes turned out wonderfully, but it took me time to research various tutorials before I found one that actually made sense to me . Your garments are absolutely lovely and you are someone I can relate to since I am one who cares about aesthetics and I love the idea you had about using a lighter weight fabric when encasing a seam in a garment that has a main fabric of a denser weight. That makes perfect sense, but then...you are perfect! Thanks for sharing.

That was so useful never seen it done like that before, you are a fantastic ‘teacher’.

Great topic. Love to hear about repurposing fabric for binding. Very clever idea when so much goes to landfill. You often comment about using less fabric so very practical information thank you.

This video I found so very useful ... and so it has inspired me to make my own. Loved all of your makes using all of your own hand made biases, as you’ve have said so mush better than bought ones. 👍👍👍

Thank you! I have wanted to make my own bias tape for a while but always thought I would screw it up. This is such a simple way to do it and a great way to use all those scraps and smaller cuts of fabric that I don't know what to do with. This also gives me another project that I can do at work.
