Bias Tape
I have a slipper pattern that calls for "store bought" extra wide bias
tape. I'd rather match the bias tape fabric with the slipper fabric - but not sure what degree I cut it on?? 45? 60? Anyone know? TIA Patti in Seattle "forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it" **mark twain**

You will get the best 'stretch' with 45 degrees.

Thank you so much Jessamy - I kinda thought that was it, but really
needed a "second opinion". You're the best! Patti in Seattle "forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it" **mark twain**
