LoL! And here I thought this was how everyone did bias binding. I found this method in a McCalls mag from the late 90s that even has a chart that shows how big of a starting square to use to get how ever many inches of binding ya need. It is very well worn, but is still the first thing I grab after quilting the sandwich. It is fast and simple, once I got the hang of lining the drawn lines up to make the tube, that is. ^_^

thanks for this .... interesting
