This works! It's the best way to work with any strips. Just subtract 1/4" from the measurement your strips are supposed to be when you buy them and put your tape that far away from the needle. Be sure that the right hand edge that is against the tape is even with the bottom fabric's edge and don't worry about the left side. Especially important when you're working with Bali strips since they're noted for being uneven.
