The Sew Show: Bias neckline

 
Bias neckline is a great way of adding expert touch on any simple dress. Bias neckline needs bias binding. By bias binding I mean the fabric itself but it's not just a fancy word. There is way of cutting the fabric for bias binding.  
The bias of a piece of woven fabric is at 45 degrees to its fabric.If you need more info on this bias thingy then check out this post: Fabric Grains.

If all's good with you, let's move on. 
So we have the bias piece. Now align it on the neckline in a way that it needs to be folded towards the right side of our cloth/ dress.

Before you pin it remember that you need to stitch it all the way through the end of neckline and so you need to pin it in a way by which you can stitch the neckline properly. And this means you need to pin the bias in the wrong side.

Stitch it along the end as shown below.

After that, it will look something like this.

Fold the bias over and pin it in place.

Straight stitch the bias.

The bias is done and all you have to do is iron it to remove any uneven ripples.
