Class members all cut six strips of 2" fabric. When we measured the last few strips they were off from the first two. Then we cut six more and resquared the fabric every two cuts. The strips were all the same.
First of all, thanks for the great tip, BellaBoo!
I bought June Tailor's years ago when I was only doing garment making..never thought to use it for binding...DUH!
Thanks for jolting my brain
