How to Make Continuous Bias Binding || 100 Days of Sewing || Day 67

This is by far the most efficient & fastest way to make bias binding for using in garment sewing. Works best for woven fabrics such as medium weight cotton or viscose/rayon. (I'm using a viscose in the demonstration).
Can be used to finish necklines, armhole, hems & in quilting too.

This is the cheat sheet for calculating how much continuous binding a square of fabric will yield:

Well that was like chuffin witchcraft! Amazing!

Wow a great tip it will save me wasting so much fabric x thank you x

[joysedgwick]

I’d seen this described in books but couldn’t get my head round it at all. After watching you twice and then stopping and starting I now have LOADS of binding! Thank you, as long as I can attach it to the neck and armholes I will have something wearable - I haven’t enough fabric as I have also done a full bust adjustment, it never occurred to me that would need so much more fabric, duh, dopey me!

Fantastic Sam! I trained originally as a needlework teacher 46 years ago, done other things since then but now in retirement have a new found love for dressmaking. Never seen bias binding done this way before and will certainly be using it! Thank you.

I miss you here on YouTube! I think you have a real positive voice, and I loved your videos especially your free pattern reviews, and free pattern tips.

Thank you! I have never seen this in action before. I like that you don't have to sew many strips together! I will try this.

That's amazing that you can get such a long piece of bias binding from such a small square of fabric! I'm definitely going to try it!

[JUDE]

Perfect timing! I got my bias tape maker from Amazon in the mail 20 minutes ago!
Thank you, Sam!
