So is the bias the way that you would cut it into the strips such as 2 1/2" strips? Or is that something different?
I will remember this EVENTUALLY I promise.
The bias is the diagonal of the fabric. What you are describing is the Width of the fabric, commonly referred to as WOF. The bias, or diagonal will have some stretch to it & it is preferred for curves, or some just prefer it all together!
