How To Make a Long Bias Tape

A – Begin with a square or rectangular piece of fabric. Cut along the diagonal to create two triangular halves.

B – Place the left triangle over the right triangle with right sides together. Pin along the edges and sew to join them, forming a parallelogram.

C – Using a ruler, mark evenly spaced parallel lines at your desired tape width along the bias (the longest edge). Continue marking across the entire fabric.

D – Fold the fabric with right sides together, aligning the marked bias lines but offsetting by one strip width so they create a spiral. Pin the edges together and sew.

E – Begin cutting along the marked lines, following the spiral around the tube. This will produce a single, continuous strip of bias tape.
