    Excellent explanation! I've used this method for decades and am surprised that it is not more commonly taught. But you taught me one brilliant trick that makes the whole thing easier and faster - marking the cutting lines before sewing the second seam. Thanks!
    By the way, for those making masks, you don't need bias ties. Ties cut on the straight grain and folded over - with a bias tape maker, if you have one - work just fine and are easier to make.

    Nice. I love the fabric on your ironing board. I’ve been sewing since I was 7. Started with the blind hem stitch by hand then my grandma graduated me to peddle by foot trendle sewing machine. The kind ppl now use tops for a plant stand. Then out came fancy machines. I know have 3 machines including a serger. The thing is if you start to have an interest to sew perfect one thing at a time. I started right off with a collar onto a dress then a maxi coat lined, at age 12. We learned from grandma mom girls club and Nancy notions sewing on saturdays. With out help from tv or net I would hate zippers,thank goodness for videos now for our young viewers or starters out there.Sewing was essential in our home as buying was not in the budget. As a young mom I made my own designs for brides and prom dresses and my kids clothes.Now that my kids are grown I make fun stuff and it’s fn to not have to buy all. Gifts that are well made and unique 1 of Kind are fun.The beauty is now there’s all these nice tools to have like the vidoe has. It’s important to have a mat cutter and rulers for precision. I prefer to roll fabrics on cardboard rolls from fabric stores as not to perm eatery crease fabric which can break down fibers.So to all the young ppl out there tools helps and she showed perfectly how to use measure etc and you save money👍thanks for your videos

    This is perfect. I make miles of the stuff from a small piece of about 18 inch square fabric. Ironing took forever. Hopefully next time I'll cut better. THe edges were wonky, but it still works for bias tape. Wish those folder-maker gadgets worked better. I'll have to try starching the fabric and try the home-made version of the folder again.

    Just to clarify…
    1. On the first cut, you’re looking to make a parallelogram when sewing the 2 pieces together.
    2. When she says line this line up with this line, it isn’t very clear what “this” is. You want to line the 1st line at the beginning up to the 2nd line on the end. The second line at the beginning to the 3rd line on the end, and so forth.
    Overall good tutorial, thank you.🌼

    Wow thanks for such a great video! I had no idea how to do this and was able to follow the steps easily and make over 3m of 1" binding from a 12"x12" square - genius!!

    Thank you, I'm a beginner working on my second little baby quilt. I butchered the binding on the first one, so I was pretty happy to find your straightforward tutorial. Using your method, with lots of playing back at certain points, I made two long strips for a 5 x 3 quilt I plan to bind tomorrow. I was a lot more confident on that second strip, too. Cheers!

      You don't need bias binding for square or straight edged quilts & projects. Bias binding works best on curved shapes. 👍😂👌🙏

      @@lizbee726 Kind of you to leave a comment about that. The ladies in my local quilt shop gave me that little tidbit last summer. Binding is so much easier now!

    Thank you this really works. I've been wanting to do a project using custom bias tape and I've been having nightmares about connecting the 2 pieces. Thank you for this easy-to-understand tutorial. It did not come out perfect, but I'm sure with practice will make it perfect.

    Thank you so much! I’ve watched numerous videos of this technique however none of them explained how to make the lines join up correctly. I tried your pin method and it works a treat! You have just made my life so much easier 😃

    I have seen this technique before, but you made it appear very simple and straight-forward. Plus no waste with the cut-off triangles. Thanks!

    I’ve found the best marker to use on fabric is a thin crayola marker or a paper mate ink joy pen

    I didn't know you could do something like that. I was doing it a piece at a time. This is much easier. Love it!!

    Where were you about 40+ years ago when I was reupholstering an entire set of antique wicker furniture for a friend? (Oh, that’s right-you weren’t even born then!). No TH-cam back in the day, so I just had to read & follow directions. Took me FOREVER to make about a gazillion yards of bias tape, & my back was killing me. Thanks for a great video!
