I get so frustrated when that happens, and I dislike the messy back side of the bias so much that I decided I needed a better way to sew the binding. Yes, you can hand stitch it to finish it, and I sometimes do that. But when you&#8217;re sewing a lot of binding and just want a quick machine finish that looks nice from both sides, what do you do?<\/p>\n<p>In previous tutorials I&#8217;ve shown you two ways to cut bias strips (the <a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/making-continuous-bias-strips.html\">continuous method<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/making-traditional-bias-strips.html\">traditional method<\/a>), and I&#8217;ve also shown you how to use a <a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/how-to-use-a-bias-tape-maker.html\">bias tape maker<\/a> to fold and press it so it&#8217;s ready to sew. (I use and recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001703IY2\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=lieslandco-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B001703IY2&amp;linkId=c17bc5e35d92af82a01dc67dc280befb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clover bias tape makers<\/a>.

Unfold the prepared bias strip, and align and pin the right side of one of its raw edges to the inside (wrong-side) edge of your project.

Re-fold the strip around the edge of the project, and turn your project to the right side (the outside).

Trim the corner seam allowance of the edge itself at a slight diagonal to reduce bulk, and fold the trimmed end of the bias strip over that edge to the right side. Re-fold the long edge of the bias strip around the edge being covered, and edgestitch the bias strip from the right side (Step 2 from applying bias binding, above), catching the folded edge of the bias in your stitching, and backstitching or lockstitching at the beginning and end of your stitches to secure them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/blog\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10265\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/blog\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding7-580x381.jpg\" alt=\"BiasBindingTutorial7\" width=\"580\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding7-580x381.jpg 580w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding7-275x181.jpg 275w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding7.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/blog\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10266\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/blog\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding8-580x393.jpg\" alt=\"BiasBindingTutorial8\" width=\"580\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding8-580x393.jpg 580w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding8-275x186.jpg 275w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/blog\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10267\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/blog\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding9-580x362.jpg\" alt=\"BiasBindingTutorial9\" width=\"580\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding9-580x362.jpg 580w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding9-275x171.jpg 275w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BiasBinding9.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Joining Two Ends<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you need to join two ends of a continuous bias strip, here is an easy way to clean-finish that join.<\/p>\n<p>1.
