How to choose the right kind of bias tape

March 6, 2019 by Anne Weaver

How to choose the right kind of bias tapeIf you’ve ever bought bias tape at the fabric store, you’ve seen that big display with different sizes and types of bias tape and binding.  All those packages, and the names all sound somewhat the same…. Which is the right one to choose for your project?  Sew4Home has a post that tells what all those names, and how wide the tape will be on your project.  Give it a read and you’ll be prepared for the next time you need to buy bias tape.

Monday Musings: My Fabric Stash is Judging Me (A Love-Hate Relationship)

I have a problem. Well, several problems, but today we’re talking about the 37 yards of fabric currently taking up residence in my closet. Some of it’s been there so long it could legally vote. That beautiful linen? Bought for a specific project in 2018. The designer wool? “Too nice to cut.” The rainbow of quilting cotton? Well, it was on sale.

Every time I open that closet, I swear the fabric whispers, “Remember when you were going to make that dress?” The guilt is real. But so is the joy of petting my hoard like a fabric dragon sitting on her treasure.

Last week I tried the KonMari method. I got as far as “does this spark joy?” before buying three more yards of floral voile. Some habits die hard.
