I have the need to make a lot of bias strips for a quilt I'm making. I've used the method where you start with a square, draw lines, sew the sides together off-set, then cut along the lines to end up with a tremendously long bias strip.
However!
I can't cut straight to save my life when using scissors, as required by this method. So my bias strips are as uneven and choppy as all get-out along the edges, and I can't even escape it by turning under the edges, as they are meant to be applied on this quilt with the raw edges exposed.
Does anyone have any tips for cutting those bias strips? Or do I need to go back to just plain cutting a piece of fabric on the bias, many times, using a ruler, and then sewing them all together??
Or should I just give it up as a bad job and try to source some 2" wide bias tape somewhere???
Thanks for any tips!
