Long years ago, (In the fifties), one day I discovered the bias binder attachment on my then new Kenmore.
My husband laughed and laughed when he came home that day. I had sewed bias binding on everything I could find to sew it on, the kitchen towels, curtains, sheets, pillowcases, even the tail of one of his old workshirts!
The house was full of bias binding!
Well, at about ten cents a pk...
