Bias Tape.<\/span>
\nWhat is it? What is it used for? What the heck does “bias” mean? And how can you make your own?
\nLet’s talk about it!
\n\"\"<\/a>Have you walked by the zippers and threads in your fabric shop and wondered what all those cute packages of solid trim are? They’re bias tape, piping, and quilt bindings.
\n\"\"<\/a>If you need a solid colored bias tape, the store bought stuff is convenient. But if you haven’t discovered already, it’s also very easy to make you own. And then the options are limitless<\/span>…..and so much cuter.
