How to make your own bias binding

Fiona AlexanderComment

This tutorial shows you how to make your own bias binding so you can match the binding to your fabric or make a feature of it in a fabric of your choice (we love making Liberty binding).

Bias binding is most often used to finish seams, usually necklines, armholes and hems.
