In this session, I demonstrated how to cut bias strips from silk habotai fabric for the Amanda Jacket project.

Cutting bias strips, especially on delicate fabrics like silk, can be challenging but requires a steady hand and the right tools.

Lesson Steps:

  • Lay the square fabric diagonally to create a triangle shape
  • Test the rotary cutter on a small section to ensure clean cuts
  • Use a ruler or paper pattern to guide the bias strip cutting
  • Carefully cut 1.25-inch bias strips along the bias grain
  • Optionally, use sharp fabric scissors for more control on delicate fabrics
