Bias Tape Tutorial



Here I would like to share how to make bias tape by Yourself without bias tape maker.
Material needed:
- Cotton fabric
- Scissor

2.

             With wrong side facing, fold your fabric as the picture above. Hold Your fabric with the scissor and another one with Your finger. It is better for You to do it on the top of ironing board with the iron already prepared for the next step.

3.

                Take Your finger out of the fabric, carefully iron Your fabric as the picture above. Do it until the end of your fabric.

4.


          
                  Your bias tape already done! It is very easy, isn't it? Just repeat ironing your fabric one more time for better result.
