Fast and easy bias strips!
 
I have never seen this method before and thought others might find it useful, too. It looks easier than any others I have tried!

Thanks for the tip! Looks like an easy way to make strips - will try it soon!

This makes it look so easy, I'll have to give it a try.

Might have to try this one! Before Christmas I bought a ruler especially made to cut bias strips which I will try out first....

Thanks. That sounds like it would be very simple to do.

Thank you for sharing. This looks much more simple than the method I just used for the vines of my "Summer at Mom's" quilt. Next time, I will try your recommended method. ;-)

Dixie, does this method make continuous bias or several strips?

From the illustrations, I think this makes several varying lengths of bias tape...since it's not joined in any way before you cut it.

I tried this with a piece of paper and it works. Only down side is you have lots of smaller strips. But for smaller projects, who cares. Some one asked if the pieces were continuous, answer is no.

Wouldn't this be great for Log Cabins?? Thank you for sharing.
