Thanks a lot for the pattern, I tried to make these a while back but can't seem to be able to sew nicely the bias tape, what is your trick to do a nice job?
I explain it in the pattern a little. You may need to use the wider bias tape the first couple of times until you get the hang of it. Mostly, it's keeping a good tension on the tape around the curve, use a zig-zag stitch, and go SLOWLY. I probably have to stop and readjust the tape frequently, too. If you are really having a problem with it, if you zig-zag stich around the entire raw sandwich edge before you apply the bias tape, that may help you get it wrapped around well.
