Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Learned to do this in Jr. High School many many years ago.
This is the only way I will do it, soooo much easier. I have a chart I got years ago that shows me how big a square I need to get the length of bias needed.

This is great! Any chance you could post the chart for us too? It would really be helpful! Thanks!!Originally Posted by KwiltyKahy
Oops! should have googled first....I found one at: http://quiltbug.com/articles/binding-calculator.htm
I think it might have been posted earlier in another thread.
This is a great method for making binding. I use it to.
It has been said that it creates more seams in the binding and some are turned off by that. I think having more sections makes it easier to replacce as binding gets worn. Just un- sew it between two seams and replace that one section.
When doing quilts for shows I do use the longest bias strips I can so there are less seams.
I thinks it is all a matter of your needs at any time for any project.
