I need some bias strips for applique. I get to the part about "With right sides together, match lines with pins at the 1/4" seamline and stitch seam".
Every time I try this, the lines don't add up where they join. What am I doing wrong? :( I just don't get how to match the lines when forming the tube. |
Dont you just move it over one?? I think I have a diagram on the laptop..If I do will post it for you :D
Here's a link to Fons & Porter tute :D http://www.fonsandporter.com/userdoc...-contbias1.pdf |

Here is a tutorial that looks really good and may answer your question. It is really hard to explain without a diagram. |
I would use the Fons and Porter link. I have this page bookmarked in one of their books and I reference it often.

oooooooooooo - kewl! i saved them both, but like the fact that McCalls tells you how large the squares should be to get various lengths of bias. :-)

Whatcha' makin'? :?

Thanks for the info. I'll use it too.
Don't you all just love this board? |
lfw045 - Thank you for the link to the video, it was helpful - if I can't figure out how to do the continuous bias strips, I'll do it that way.
Thank you Izy and Marcia for your links - It's at step 4 that I just don't get. After moving over one line, I just don't get how to align the pins and raw edges and lines. I think I've got a mental block! I don't get it!!! If I could actually see it being done, I might get it then! |

It will probably take me forever, especially since I'm already stuck on the the first step - making the bias for vines. :oops: |
