Bias for binding, piping and tubing is a true bias and is defined as the diagonal line established by a 45° degree angle, intersecting length and cross grain of a square. The bias of the fabric offers the maximum stretch, flexibility, and elasticity needed to conform to a curved edge. Write steps to prepare bias strip. |

Answer» 1. Find the true bias of the fabric by folding fabric with lengthwise grain parallel to the crosswise grain. 2. Draw the width and the number of strips needed for the required length and then cut it. 3. Many times, the bias strips are not long enough to complete a continuous sewing step. Adequate number of strips must be joined before starting to sew bias binding or facing. 4. Stitch bias strips with 1/4 seam allowance at angles. |
