Start by straightening your cotton (edging) fabric. To do this snip along the selvage edge about 1/4 inch and start tearing. It should tear straight. If you don’t make it to the other end snip again. Alternatively if you want you can just cut 2 inch strips but I find it faster and more relaxing to tear when I can.

Once your fabric is straightened tear 11 two inch strips. Do this by snipping just two inches in from the straightened edge and tear. It will tear straight since it’s a woven fabric. If you decide to use a knit it won’t tear so just measure and cut!

Once you have your strips sew the ends together right sides together to make a long chain. This isn’t real bias tape since we didn’t cut it on the bias but it works for our needs

Feed your chain through your bias tape maker so that the raw edges are folded in.

Next trim any excess off of your fleece and round the corners. I like to use a bowl as a guide.

Sandwich the faux bias tape around edge of the fleece. Zig zag on top making sure to catch all the layers.

When you get to the end cut your faux bias tape about an inch over the edge of the starting point. Fold under and sew down.
