I've never cut my strips on the bias. In my mind I think that's more work than it's worth. I cut them on the cross grain - some stretch a little more than others, some not at all - like batiks, but as long as I start wrapping them on an angle, it works out well. It takes me 2 hours to wrap 100 feet. I only use glue sticks - purple, turns clear when it dries and spread it on the first inch or so of the strip and then again on the last inch or so of the strip - so far have not had any trouble with any coming undone - unless, of course, I do something really stupid. :oops:
