Continous Bias Strips -- HELP PLEASE!!!!
#1
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.

Here is a tutorial that looks really good and may answer your question. It is really hard to explain without a diagram.

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:
