Crosswise grain(weft) refers to the threads that run perpendicular to the selvage or along the cut edge of the fabric. Bias grainis technically not a “grain.” It’s the 45-degree angle between warp and weft grains. Cutting your fabric on the bias results in more stretch and can be us...
First things first….you need to find (or create) one straight edge first. And then you can cut everything else from there. So look at your fabric and find the selvage edge. (More on what the selvage is and where to find it HERE.) The selvage line is generally always straight. Some...
If you're binding curved edges, you'll want to cut your binding strips on the bias. Here's how to turn one square of fabric into a long length of bias binding easily! (See the tree skirt we reference in the video here.)
Cut fabric strips 1 1/4″ cut on the bias. The bias is when you cut fabric at a 45 degree angle to the grainline and crosswise grain. You might need to cut the bias strips wider or thinner if you are using a larger or smaller cording. Sew the fabric strips together so you get o...
Appliquéis the process of sewing a smaller piece of fabric onto the surface of another fabric, either using a sewing machine or byhand. Until now, you may have been under the impression that theonlyreason tofussy cutfabric was forappliqué. This is because using afussy cutpiece of fabric ...

An essential part of any quilter or sewist’s arsenal, bias tape is helpful for creating stretchy, durable edges. Ashley Nickels demonstrates how to find the bias on ordinary quilting cotton, then how to cut, iron, and pin fabric to an edge. This snack-s
Measure around your pillow, or whatever you are making, to determine how much piping you need. Use the bias tape calculator to cut just the right size, always remembering to add on a little extra for overlap. You'll need to cut your strip of fabric wide enough to wrap all the way aro...
