Sewing with Single Fold. 1  Single fold bias tape can be sewn right out of the package. 2  Take the wider side of the tape and pin it to the wrong side of your fabric so that the middle crease lines up with the edge of your fabric.  Sew along the inside crease line, cheating more to the outside of your fabric.
About Straight Grain Edges. The lengthwise grain and crosswise grain are both regarded as straight grain, sometimes called straight-of-grain. Fabric Bias. True bias is defined as the direction at a 45-degree angle to the straight grains. Quilters refer to any cut that doesn't run along a straight grain as a bias cut. Stretch Differences in Fabric Cuts. Fabrics that are cut with edges parallel to either the crosswise or lengthwise straight grain are less likely to stretch out of shape than pieces with edges cut along the stretchy bias.
