- Short on fabric? This video will show you how to make over 20 yards of continuous bias cut fabric strips in 15 minutes with only 3/4 yard of fabric and no waste!! If you need a lot of bias cut fabric strips to cover welt or piping cord and you are short on fabric, this trick is like magic! Many times over the years I've needed to make a lot of welt cording or piping for cushions, upholstery projects, pillows, or draperies, and didn't have enough fabric to do it the traditional way. This method saved me every time. It requires very little sewing and cutting, and results in almost zero wasted fabric.
I found this method many years ago in a (now out of print) book published in 1979 by Sunset called Slipcovers & Bedspreads. Below is a chart of the approximate number of running yards of 1 5/8" wide continuous bias casing you can get using this method.
1/2 yd of 36" fabric: 10 yds
1/2 yd. of 48" fabric: 13 yds.
1/2 yd. of 54" fabric: 14 yds.
3/4 yd. of 36" fabric: 16 yds.
3/4 yd. of 48" fabric: 20 yds.
3/4 yd. of 54" fabric: 22 yds.
1 yd. of 36" fabric: 22 yds.
1 yd. of 48" fabric: 26 yds.
1 yd. of 54" fabric: 29.5 yds. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

![DIY Continuous Bias Tape | 10 yard of Binding from 1/2 yard of Fabric [sewingtimes]](/img/n.gif)
This was the best idea ever. I'm making porch cushions and was able to get about 25 yards of bias strips with your MAGIC trick. My dad was an upholsterer and he taught me a totally different way of doing this. I wish he was still alive so that I could teach him this method. Thank you so much.
good
Great tutorial!
I've used this trick since the 80's. Found it on a vhs video on how to upholster. The only difference is after cutting 4 corners off, and cutting through one layer diagonally to opposite corner as she shows. Then flip fabric over and cut down the other corner, through single layer diagonally down to its opposite corner. You'll have a cut opposite of each other but on opposite sides, like an X. This allows the fabric to lay flater to open up to the 6inch section to cut next. It works. So glad someone finally put it on youtube.
Interesting alternate option! I found it in a 1979 Sunset book on upholstery. It has saved me on numerous occasions :)
@@ASquarePillowIsntSquare Those Sunset books were actually really great! I have a bias tape gadget to run the tape through to create bias binding, and they gave me a parallelogram pattern to use that’s quite efficient. It doesn’t create automatically continuous tape though. This is amazing!
I’ve seen several other videos on how to cut bias strips, but I have never seen this technique. Who thinks these methods up? Absolutely brilliant. I’m gonna try this on my next project.
I wish I can push like button millions of times
You’re amazing 👍
Thank you for this. I had only 16 inches of fabric and needed 6 yards of welting. Your method provided me with 9 yards of welting. Brilliant way to maximize yardage.
You are a genius. I won't even begin to confess how much fabric I have wasted trying to make my own bias tape. Bless you!!
Thank you so much for this tip. Great job!
Wow!! That is insanely helpful!! Where do people like you come up with these fantastic ideas?!?! Thank you soooo much!! Too bad I didn’t see this earlier in a previous project, but hey, better late than never. And I could totally follow you ( not totally green sewer). Amazing!!
Ingenious Nancy! I love how you worked it out!
This is brilliant!! Thank you!! I shared your video in my sewing groups ❤️

Gorgeous fabric cut into gorgeous bias!
Thank you so much. I only had a 38cm square of fabric that i really wanted to use. By doing it this way I was able to get 5mt of binding. Blown me away that's for sure.
Absolutely fascinating!
This is incredible!
I found this method in the internet many years ago to make binding for a quilt. I wrote down the instructions and of course I lost them in the black hole that lives in my sewing room. This is the absolute best method to make bias I've ever seen. Thank you for posting and now I have a video I can save rather than a piece of paper I will promptly loose.
I found it a few decades ago in a book, which I have also lost!! Glad I could help you :)

I've seen something similar to the but not for making bias but to make cut "fabric yarn" for crocheting rag rugs, again not on the bias. What a great trick.
Best technique I've seen yet. I only have 2 fat quarters & need as much bias tape to get around an apron. Thank you

Fascinating!
Very cool! I love the cool speed up music! 😎
Made over 20 yards of 2” bias cut chenille from a 30” wide piece of fabric! More than I needed, but I used far less fabric than making what I need the “old fashioned” way. Great video! Very easy to follow.
In the 1960’s my mom was into redoing upholstery and found this idea somewhere in a newspaper or book and thought she had found the keys to the kingdom. Now I know how to as well thanks to you!
That is amazing! Thank you 😊
Omg I'm in love...bless you ...this is amazing
