Please help me! I am trying to figure out how to make continous bias strips to use as a hong kong seam finish on a lovely pair of wool slacks. I have looked in books. My mother and I were trying to figure it out. Wierdly enough I seamed two sides and it worked. But now, I have no idea how I did it.
I do not have a serger, so unfortunately that option is out.
Thank you for your help.

here is an article with diagrams. when it's time to make the folds, I find that the little gizmos made by Clover are perfect and my bindings come out nice and even.

hope this helps.
This is another set of diagrams for making bias tape. I find that drawing the lines on the fabric helps to cut accurately.

Hey there, I need to do the lines, too. I've found that a scrap sliver of bar soap makes a wonderful "pencil".
How ya doing friend? I like your soap sliver idea.
