Video Transcript

Bias binding is a narrow strip of fabric that is cut on the bias, meaning it is cut at a 45-degree angle to the fabric's grain. The bias cut allows the binding to stretch and bend easily, making it suitable for finishing curved edges or seams. Bias binding is often used in sewing and quilting to encase and finish raw edges, providing a neat and durable edge.

It can be made from various fabrics, including cotton, satin, or polyester. Bias binding is typically folded in half with the raw edges enclosed, and then it is stitched in place along the edge of the fabric. This technique is commonly used in garments, quilts, and other sewing projects to add a decorative or functional edge finish.
