Thread: Width of bias for celtic applique?

Our applique group is experimenting with doing celtic bias binding applique. What is the most common width to use for this? Any other suggestions are appreciated, too! Thanx

I think it's 1/4 inch, and so much cheaper to make your own than purchasing it.

To make your own: Philomena Wychech recommends 1 1/4".
Fold in hallf wst, stitch i/4" and press on pressing bars with stitching under the bar. I remains hiden. Use bias to be able to curve and bend at points of design

I haven't done Celtic but have done stained glass (see my avatar! :-D ) I have one of the clover gadgets that makes a scant 1/4" tape, I cut my fabric on the bias. The gadget is good but I saw a link on here a while ago of a way to make tape of any width with a needle 'threaded' through your ironing board. I'll see if I can find it. :-D

Found it! This was orignally posted on here by Maksi. :-D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPrFfg9rtmM

For single fold, just miss out the last step. I'm about to try this method this evening to make strips for QAYG. So thanks Maksi! :-D
