Some of the details that don't include a seaming allowance should be placed and cut on fold. How to do it in the best way?
I absolutely love bias tapes. For me it's the easiest way of finishing hems. I've bought a bias tape only once, and I was making them myself ever since. One of the reasons is that I afraid a cotton (which is my favourite) one may shrink after washing, and that would ruin the dress. And as for washing bias tape before using it... Em, not sure it's a good idea.
Especially because it's possible to make them in a minute, using a rotary cutter and a cutting mat. But if you don't have them, it's still possible to make a nice bias tape.
Joining two details together doesn't seem to be a difficult task. But sometimes, especially if you are beginner, your seams won't be joined. It's not the end of the world, but your garment won't have a proper nice finish. So how to get a professional result and use a super easy beginner technique?
