I don't know how fast it will get blunt, but for a quick fix and just £1, there's nothing to loose eh ;o)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632906323410997355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-18207864237030087072011-06-06T10:03:52.751-07:002011-06-06T10:03:52.751-07:00Thank you!

Since ultimately i will iron under both edges, to make it like conventional bias binding, i find it does not matter too much if you are not completly neat as the raw edges will be hidden. I would highly recommend giving it a try...it's easier than it sounds, honest! And then you have the flexibility of being able to make bias binding in any fabric you like :)Kathttp://akraftykat.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-47132295091779370402011-06-06T06:34:53.946-07:002011-06-06T06:34:53.946-07:00Good luck with the dress Kat! well done with the b...Good luck with the dress Kat! well done with the bias tape!I have never made bias tape myself. Did you use a rotary cutter for it? a rotary cutter is on my to buy list but with the mat it gets expensive so I haven't bought it yet. I'm not sure I could be neat enough with a pair of scissors personallyThe Creative Miss Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071068895814025773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-18524625201130881852011-06-05T13:53:19.478-07:002011-06-05T13:53:19.478-07:00I can't wait to see the finished dress! :) Aww...I can't wait to see the finished dress! :) Aww, I love owls, I got to see a baby barn owl on holiday last year.
