Thank you for sharing with us :D:D:D

That was a pretty good tutorial! I like diagonal joins in my strips, but this would be great for someone who needs help with it. I have a couple of suggestions though:

1) be sure to measure your fabric width as many are not 44" anymore. I often cut 1 extra strip just in case, and it will get used eventually if I don't.

2) use spray starch! It really helps control the stretch in some fabrics, so when you get back to the start, it fits together without stretching.

Thanks for sharing this information with us!

My tips:

rule of thumb is to add 10" to the calculated length of binding for mitering

I, too, like miterd joingings

Because of the ever decresing usuable WOF, I allow 42 usable inches

Yhanks for posting this link, it is very good. I just spent a couple of hours on the site.

thanks for the link, I will save it
