Any tips for sewing this bias tape on?

I tack mine down with fabric tacky glue and get rid of the pins. I just made over 60 yrds of canvas bias tape for a job and I'm using my stitch in the ditch foot to sew it on. It keeps the guide right up against the edge of the tape and then I get constant fairly straight seams. Its a cute outfit. I'm trying now to get patterns so that I can make some outfits for a couple of grand kids this yr for Christmas.

I hate bias tape!! Yuch, can't get it strait for the life of me. I have actually opened up the tape and sewn along one fold, then wrap it around and make the second stitch. It might be easier to just cut a facing. Mimic the outside edges all around and finish off the inside edge of the facing with serger, zig zag, fray check, or turn under and stitch it down. Love the doll clothes. I have 7 boys, one girl but she don't do dolls. I wonder why?

I'm so lazy I'd just make a full lining, and only have one edge to finish!! Sue you are so inspiring to me. Do you have an Esty site, price list etc? I either need to start buying or start sewing, as I do intend to get my GD an AG all her very own. They are really high quality dolls.
