I am thinking about sewing long strips together. Usually you sew from top to bottom then the next strip from bottom to top. This is so the strips don't get cocky-wompus.

Does anyone think this method would work?
Yes I do. I took a class from Jackie Robinson. After ironing our strips, she told us to put away the iron and not touch it until the top was put together. She was very adamant about not ironing. Of course it has to do with the stretch of the bias.

She also said the bottom to top and top to bottom alternating seams was the way to go.
