I've been looking at Jean Doan's continuous bias, but I want to make it twice as wide. 5 inches. I have a yard and am not sure if that is enough to get the job done/ Before I cut I need to know what will work. HELP!!!!!
Point of clarification .............
Are you meaning border? or binding?
Seldom would you do a border on the bias .... binding yes, but seldom cutting at 5 inches.
Not that a binding cannot be made wider, but you need to think of the added problems that an unquilted wide binding might create.
