HELPFUL HINTS:
Bias Tape



CLICK HERE FIRST FOR THE JO-ANN FABRICS FREEBIE ON HOW TO MAKE BIAS STRIPS!

Right click on the image and choose "save picture as".

Once the strips are made, place 2 large needles (the longer you can find them, the better) into your ironing board as shown in the photographs. The distance you put between the "in and out" of the needles is determined by the size of your bias strips. For demonstration purposes, the space shown isĀ  about 1 inch.

Start the bias by folding down both edges towards the middle and feeding through the needles.

Once you get enough through, place your hot iron on the spot where the needles are and pull the bias strip through the needles and under the iron. I am right handed, so I pull with my right and feed with my left. And for goodness sakes use common sense and don't burn yourself!
