You can buy pre-made piping at JoAnn's - with the bias tape. You can also buy the cording for the center of the home-made piping there. I'm not sure where JoAnn's keeps it, but it's generally sold by the yard. I'll see if I can find instructions for doing bias-cut strips very easily. (I have some written out instructions from like 10 years ago somewhere, but the picture is important, and I don't have a scanner.) Ok, found some decent pages: Instructions for installing piping: http://sewing.about.com/library/weekly/blpiping.htm Some instructions/tips on making piping http://sewing.about.com/library/weekly/aa090997.htm And here's how to make the bias cut strips easily: http://sewing.about.com/gi/dynamic/o...23anchor243291 Last edited by Drince88 : 03-17-2006 at 07:27 PM. |
