Binding with Bias - Method 6 - Bias strips -neatened

Binding with bias strips is easier than commercial bias. In my opinion. I can cut the bias strips in my preferred fabric and thickness.

This method involves neatening one edge of a bias strip.
I use 1.5inch strips for this method.

You can choose to neaten the strip in a number of ways.
By folding it over and straight stitching or zigzagging it.
Or even by just giving it a really good press.
It is important not to stretch it or distort it too much.

Place the un-neatend edge to the raw edge right side up.
Sew a straight stitch with a quarter inch seam.
Fold the strip to the back and stitch in the ditch from the front.

Pros...
You can use any fabric.
It's neat
You are less likely to miss catching the binding as the part flipped to the back is bigger.

Cons
Takes more time to prepare.
