You're welcome 😊

[@tributetomama]

Excellent tutorial, thanks so much. If you were making this for an 8 year old what would the fabric dimensions be?

[@BeyondFabric]

Honestly, I would make a tester first to try out a different size. If I was testing, I would start with a cut size of 4.75" x 14".

[@marionnorwood1287]

Best one yet to make bow ties. The turning with the pin was not working for a minute. Trust the process. ❤

[@BeyondFabric]

Thank you! Glad it worked out for you :)

Can you show how you sew the end near the hook?

[@BeyondFabric]

You can sew straight over with your machine, if it can handle thickness. If not, hand stitch like I show at the end of the video when attaching the bow tie center. With the raw edge folded under, whip stitch the edge to the band. Hope this clarifies it.

[@rochellemarouski3456]

What stabilizer do you recommend? I used SF101, seemed a bit heavy. Thanks

[@BeyondFabric]

It honestly depends on the weight of the fabric you are putting it on. I use the SF101 often because it is woven and I like the feel especially with quilt weight cottons. You want it to hold its shape, so unless you are using a heavy canvas, it will work nicely.

[@thayliamills2094]

Question: What is the inches that you folded in the bow tie strap ends with the hardware???

[@BeyondFabric]

Run the raw edge through the hardware and fold the raw edge under about 3/8" and then fold over about 5/8" before stitching in place. You are using about 1" of the strap. No more than 1.25". Hope this helps!

What dimensions would you use for a toddler bow tie?

[@BeyondFabric]

I would make a tester first to try out a different sizes. If I was testing, I would start with a cut size of 4.75" x 14".

[@ninasaucedo7982]

Is 3/4 bow tie hardware ok? I'm looking for what you used.

[@BeyondFabric]

Yes, that is fine. Here is the one we used www.beyondfabricinc.com/shop/c/p/Bow-Tie-Set-x35880184.htm

[@debd.8858]

Yes great tutorial, although turning the casings was a battle…

[@BeyondFabric]

Yes it can be! Thank you you for watching!
