brilliant, I skimmed through the video to the parts that interested me most. Now I know how to pipe a bag. PS: the idea to cut the fabric in the bias was new to me, great tip!
My aunt use to do cushion covers and to hide the cording ends...she cut the white cord away about 1/2" or less, leaving the fabric to lap over the cording end and fabric on the right. So both ends were butted and hidden in the fabric on the left.
How did you trim the seam allowance down to 3/8? When you put a ruler on top it tends to roll around since it’s not flat. Is there an easy way to deal with that?
@@CountryCowDesigns i really liked the neat little square to join the 2 ends ...usually struggle with folding angled ends that make a messy lump! Very cool...Lindy
You just trimed the flange down to 3/8 ,right? Not including the cotton piping. How do you not see the piping stitches? It seems like they may travel outside the seam allowance,or do you just stitch a little outside of your construction stitch? Sorry for all the questions
Thats right, you trim the flange down. Don’t include the piping. Just like in a normal seam if you pull it open you may see a bit of the stitching but generally it’s not an issue. But if you have concerns about it you can sew the piping a little under 3/8.
Yes as long as you use the right materials. You may find find this video useful Bag Making Tips - Sewing With a Domestic Machine - Country Cow Designs th-cam.com/video/Z4ipzzYqhDU/w-d-xo.html
I've never used piping but learning to make handbags. Awesome finish on piping ends.
That joining technique is genius!
Brilliant way of joining the piping! Looked like a beautiful accent piece! Thank you for another incredible tutorial!
Thank you! 😊
Excellent tutorial and brilliant way of seamlessly joining the two ends together! Thank you so much! ~~Christy~~

Unless you can find a 3/8 guide you just need to be careful when measuring it. I just try to not move the ruler around and take my time
Fantastic. Made lots of piping over the years but nit with that lovely finish.

very good tutorial thanks
This is what I was looking for. Thank you ❤. Please let me know what cutter are you using to cut the fabric.
Thanks. It’s just a standard rotary cutter from Amazon
Fabulous!!😊

What is the purpose please of piping on bags? Is it to protect the edges?
It does add protection but I would say it’s mostly for the looks
Can you link out to the foot you are using please.
