I figured this might be a bit confusing! I will take a picture with the bias against the fabric and try and show you that way. Be back as soon as I take some pictures!
bias cut and pressed and placed on tubing to keep together

Applique` design placed, But it goes behind the fabric to be traced onto the front side of the block

This is how it looks as you start out.. the overlap and I would cut it off at the point I went under the crossover leaving 1/4" under.. hidden . That is what you do as you find that you piece of bias will not make it to another crossover.

Start to go around the design.. leave only about 1/4" where the crossover start is, that will cover up when the overlap comes around.
