OnebyOne--thank you for the link to the YouTube tute on making the bias binding--I bookmarked it for when I get this quilt off the frame.
and like you, I fan fold my fabric--and even just leave the excess to the side as it won't cut it when going through the GoBig--but have to say I didn't figure that out the first few times I used it and was cutting fabric to size of die!
I think that I SAVE waste as I don't waste as much fabric and get such accurate cuts.
QuiltyBarb--try it! I think you will find it so much easier than rotary cutting all your pieces with your arthritis. My friend has RA and just got her's--says it's keeping her quilting when she was worried that she was going to have to slow down. mine is electric one (Big) but have used the Go and found the crank not hard to use at all.
