__________________________
Most people only ever buy bias tape — but you can actually make your own.

In this video, I’ll show you how to make bias tape two different ways:
• a completely free, no-tool method, and
• a faster, more consistent method using a bias tape maker

You’ll learn what bias tape is, why you might want to make your own, how to cut fabric on the bias, how to join strips, and how to press both single-fold and double-fold bias tape — so you can choose the method that actually fits your time, tools, and sewing style.

This tutorial is beginner-friendly, but practical enough for anyone who sews accessories, bags, or craft projects and wants clean, professional edges without frustration.
