How do I attach bias binding?
Fold the bias binding over the edge of your fabric and sew it in place. You can use pins or clips to hold it in place.
Can I use this bias binding on curves?
Yes, bias binding is ideal for curves due to its ability to stretch and conform to the shape.
What stitch should I use to attach the bias binding?

How much bias binding will I need?

Troubleshooting
Bias binding appears wavy or puckered after sewing.
Ensure you are applying the binding evenly and not stretching it. Use pins or clips to secure the binding before sewing.
