If you have used this stuff, what do you do?
What would I do, throw it away. I hate prepackaged bias tape. It's not hard to make your own bias tape, that way you can get just the color and fabric you want. I've been making bias tape for years. I love the new Simplicity tape maker. Why are you using bias? Is the quilt curved?
I used some because it was the perfect color.
I shrunk it, then folded in in half, and proceeded like nursie 76 said. It worked. I may have adapted the seam width to make it work, but it did.
