Unfold one edge of the bias tape and pin it onto the right side of the fabric, aligning the raw edges.
Stitch on the sewing machine directly along the first fold/crease line of the bias tape (at approximately 1/4 inch seam allowance).
Turn the bias tape over the raw edge to the wrong side of the fabric to enclose the seam allowance completely, then pin it securely in place from the back.
Topstitch on the sewing machine from the front side, sewing very close to the folded edge of the bias binding to catch the back layer.
Press with an iron to get a better look.
