Great hints, my bias always curls, I just thought it was from stretching around curves.

[@Mellysews]

Stretching in the wrong places is why this happens; pressing helps you make sure you're stretching in the correct areas.

Wow, thank you for that tip, on how to sew bias around curves.

[@Mellysews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SharonOfTheRose]

Thank you! This was super simple and straightforward (which I appreciate so much!). My hope is that this method will work for the ribbon I want to use as bias tape as well. Here's hoping!

[@Mellysews]

Ribbon may not work as well around curves since the threads weaving it are not on the bias. The diagonal bias threads help it mold around curves better.

I need to try this pre-ironing thing to march the curves. Sometimes it’s a battle!

Wouldn't clipping the curves in the seam allowance here go a long way to releasing some of that tension as well?

[@Mellysews]

That wouldn't release the tension caused by stretching the bias tape.

What is your iron you use? Looks like it gets good steam.

[@Mellysews]

It's a Black & Decker one that they don't make anymore. This one looks pretty similar to mine amzn.to/3REKIT1

[@JH-sp1jh]

I kind of hate that the answer to most of my sewing issues always comes back to "don't be lazy and use your iron" 😂
Thanks for the demo!

[@Mellysews]

Lol! "Take your time and do all the steps" was my sewing nemesis for years 🤣
