In this video, I teach how to cut bias tape from silk fabric, which can be used for bindings or spaghetti straps. I also demonstrate how to extend the length of bias tape by joining two pieces together.
I show the process of cutting bias tape from silk fabric using a rotary cutter, ensuring the blade is sharp for delicate fabrics.
Lesson Steps:
- Fold the fabric at a 45-degree angle to create the bias
- Separate the bias section of the fabric
- Use a rotary cutter with a sharp blade for cutting silk fabric
- Cut the bias section into desired widths, marking with chalk if needed
- Cut the bias tape pieces one by one, keeping sections small and manageable
- To extend the bias tape length, cut the diagonal ends straight
- Place the two straight ends face-to-face and sew the corners together
- This creates a continuous, extended length of bias tape
