Cinta al biés termofijable (Iron-on bias cut tape).-

Como hacer nuestra propia "Cinta al biés termofijable" para prevenir estiramientos en sisas y escotes y mantener la forma del patrón. La cinta al sesgo se plancha sobre la zona deseada de tal forma que una parte de la misma queda en el borde de la tela y la costura se hace justo detrás del pespunte de la cinta.

How to make your own "Iron-on bias cut tape" to prevent fabric from stretching or distorting the shape. The band is ironed on in such a way that part of the bias tape remains on the fabric edge and the seam is made just behind the stitch.

1).- Cortamos unas tiras de entretela al bies,  de unos 3 cm. de ancho, y también unas tiras de papel (Se pueden utilizar viejas hojas de patrones, papel de periódico, etc.).   Para este trabajo es perfecta la entretela del tipo "papel", sin tejer.

Cut fusible bias strips, about 3 cm. wide, and some strips of paper (you can use old patterns leaves, newspaper, etc.). For this job is perfect interfacing such as "paper" or "non-woven" interfacing.

2).- Enhebramos la máquina con 2 hilos en la parte superior, colocamos la tira de papel sobre la entretela y pasamos un pespunte por el centro.  Retiramos el papel.

Threading machine with 2 threads at the upper, place the paper strip over interfacing and stitch down the middle. Remove the paper.

 3).- Recortamos la cinta dejándole un ancho de 1 ó 1,5 cm. aproximadamente.
