Sewing Bias Tape (for Cosplay or otherwise)

[Syriihime]

Thank you SO MUCH for making this. :) I've begun sewing more and more of my own cosplays and felt I was ready to graduate to big-girl sewing like using bias tape xD A lot of bias tape videos are middle aged women with quiet voices and they aren't entertaining or relatable. It's so much easier to listen to a fellow cosplayer :) Ordering a pack right now~

Great video! Thank you for posting it! Like someone else, I got about 3/4 way through a project and had never heard of bias tape in all my 30 years on this earth. I found your video very helpful and clear! I like the music, but probably because I'm a big J-rock fan so I always have a little of it in the background anyway ;-) Thanks again!

[ginabeanaballerina]

its a really useful vid! but i find it kinda hard to hear over the music :(

[lindsycarranza]

Great tut but the music was too loud and distracting.

[tinksb9]

Thanks! This helped with a toddler hat I was making for someone!!

[dmuser1357]

The music was Very distracting. It would have been a great video had it not been for that.

[crookedhaylo]

cool tutorial

[geekmallot]

Is that MUCC in the background on your wall??

[tusense]

The painting? It's sephiroth. But I do have a MUCC poster as well.

[geekmallot]

No not the painting haha. The poster on the wall.

[tusense]

Ah, then yes, that is probably MUCC. Greeeeat band

[geekmallot]

It is indeed. ^^

[ag72907]

you're hot

[Cryslynns]

I didn't mind the music and was so thankful that you zoomed in to show the pins in place. :)

[xxxDreamerSora]

Omg Sephiroth is in the background. what is the name of the song in your video?

[essexperson]

this would have been a good explanatory video, but what is the point of having music playing over your voice. I just gave up.

[wendylee815]

@essexperson i agree..the music was too distracting..

[JessiLune]

I was 3/4 done my choli/blouse when I realized I had NO IDEA how to use bias tape. So I ran to the internet and found you. THANKS. Made this easy, and thank god u made me iron LOL

[tusense]

lol see. That ironing is really annoying but so worth it in the end

[tweety9102]

@tusense How you sew it on if your making a sailor collar, and this tape isnt on the edge?

[tusense]

@tweety9102 If it isn't on the edge then you probably want a single fold. You may need to sew one side and then the other with just a simple straight stitch. But yeah, go single fold instead of double if it's not being folded over an edge.

[stvnixrcks]

It would be much better without the music as I can't really hear you. :-(

[CLAS0N]

you have the coolest closet ever

[tusense]

haha thanks. There's a video somewhere around my profile about when I painted it.

[DomoCosplay]

Nice, simple tutorial and I was wondering about how the double-folded really looked like and I'll keep that in mind.

Anyway, thanks for uploading this; it's helped me along with other people. 8]

[tusense]

Glad it was helpful ^^

[LadyAethria]

[tusense]

Yup, it comes in just about any color you could possibly need. And... thanks? lol

[LadyAethria]

[xNephrae]

[tusense]

omg you're cosplaying Meru?! I love you

[xNephrae]

[spearfelt]

Thank-you for the tutorial it is really helpful :D I really love your wardrobe door that is really really cool! 5/5

[RagnarokLifeless]

Wow really nice tutorial!.

For future tutorials, could you tone down the music? I found it somewhat distracting.. Dx

[tusense]

Yeah sorry ^_^; I just feel like it's boring with just me talking and no bg noise. But I will make it lower

[Stahlherz]

your stitches are really small, I recommend you use the 2.5 width. it will look a lot better (in my opinion, you don't have to, that's just what I learned in school (I'm kind of a fashion student) ) and if you have to rip the seams apart, it won't take so long.

[tusense]

That's good advice. Thanks!

[DreamyIlia]

I was taught how to use it about 5 days before you put this video up! xD

But thank you very much for it. We didn't use double fold so now I know how to use it too ^^.

Bias tape is how I did the details on Zell's cadet jacket and pants ^^.

[BannananaaBrigade]

Awesome sauce! I didn't know what that was thanks! ^o^

[Nekoyasha2315]

this really helps me glad you put this up ^w^
