Video Tutorial: Sewing Double Fold Bias Tape (Patreon)

Bias tape is a type of binding that you can add to your projects to finish them off professionally. It is cotton fabric cut on the bias (diagonal grain) so it has a stretch to it, but its not too stretchy.

It is ideal for finishing off cuffs, necklines, and other areas of a fursuit costume (or other projects!!) to prevent the raw edge from being exposed and potentially unraveling or stretching. It really only takes a few minutes to apply bias tape for a lasting and professional-looking finished edge. You can even apply other fabrics to bind the edge with this two-step technique as well! 

There are two steps involved in applying bias tape: Open it and sew,  then fold it over and sew. 

The edges can be tucked in to make very nice corners, and double fold bias tape is the most ideal for this type of application. I have other tutorials on Matrices.net about bias tape, but thought I'd reshare a new demonstration that is just short and sweet.

See my older tutorial on bias tape here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx9z_Hztx_I   this older video shows single fold bias tape. Double fold is a bit easier to apply since it is wider.

Thanks for your support everyone!!
