It’s a Simple Process and Doesn’t Require Special Rulers!

Bias bindings are stronger than those cut on the straight grain. Plus, they’re necessary for quilts with uneven edges and curves, like round table toppers, zig zag edged runners, and quilts with rounded corners.

While cutting strips for standard binding is quick and easy, cutting bias binding is just as simple. The biggest challenge may be determining the first cut. After that it’s just as easy as cutting and sewing together straight grain binding.

In the following video Laura for Sew Very Easy demonstrates exactly how to make bias binding. She provides several options for determining that first cut along with many other helpful tips.

Give her method a try the next time you need a bias binding. We think you’ll love how simple it is.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources.
