I use the same joining method she uses, but I have found that if I subtract 1/4 inch from the binding width, before I trim the ends for joining, I get a better fit on my bias binding. Might just be me, but I can't stand having to squish the binding to avoid puckers. I have never made straight binding so I can't speak to that. I am going to try her method of joining the sections of binding together because I have always cut the ends at 45 degrees and fought them together. She uses right angles to join, then trims. Brilliant! As far as the special rulers, no thanks.
