Bias Tape

Just as the name suggests, bias tape is small fabric trim cut on the bias. The diagonal grainline allows the trim to mold to gentle curves without puckering, twisting or pulling. Heather of The Sewing Loft has a detailed post for creating continuous bias tape that results in about 4 yards of bias tape from just one fat quarter.

Sara even put together a video overview to help all those visual learners stay on track. It really is a great everyday bag.
