Here's what I do:
Cut your bias strips just under 3/4 inch wide
fold about 1/2 inch of the end of one strip into thirds so you have it the width you want.
On your ironing board, lay the folded end on the board and take straight pin (be sure to use one that doesnt have plastic on the end that melts).
Insert the pin into the ironing board cover, come back out about 1/4 in away, then go over your little pressed piece and back into the board and up again. Now, do this again about an iron width away.
That is your setup.
Now to make the bias strips:
Insert the end under one pin and draw it through to the other one, pressing as you go. insert through the second one. Now draw the lenght of the bias strip through the pins, pressing as you go.
When you have them pressed, wind them onto an empty toilet paper roller and pin the end in place. This will prevent it from undoing itself until you are ready to use it.
Ill try to post a pic soon of this process soon
