Sewing question? Rib Knit Bias tape cut on grain or bias?
Have a sewing question for anyone, I am putting pink rib knit bias tape around the edges of a pink and white polka dot piece of fleece. My question is do I cut the rib knit on the bias which is not as stretchy or on straight grain which is very stretchy? I know when you make bias tape from woven cotton it is cut on the bias for the stretch, however rib knit is stretchy on the straight grain. So how do I this? I only have one piece of the pink rib knit as it was the leftovers.
So I decided to cut the rib knit on the bias because it does not need to stretch around the blanket, plus I wanted the ribs to go the same direction.
ReplyDeleteSo I finally sewed the binding to the fleece and it looks pretty good. I'll post tomorrow, tonight it's off to do the dishes.
ReplyDeleteI did finish the blanket but not until are before my new niece was born. So I don't have the blanket to show everyone. :(
