Since we are still working on our quilted sneakers this month I thought I would share some tips for making and attaching curved bias binding. So many people shy away from bias binding and sewing it on curves but it’s not as difficult as you may think. I’m sharing my tips with you on today’s episode. I hope that after watching this show you will give it a try!
