I believe this is how I have seen them made... the advantage to this method is that you do not have a sewn seam, and reduce the bulk.

Using a bias maker would also work nicely, and there isn't the bulk of the sew seam.

Some projects, the bulkiness in the seam adds a desired almost 3D effect in the smaller bias strips.

It pretty much boils down to personal preferences :D:D:D
