I do my binding this same way, and although I can't judge the ending inches like she can, I just lay the end of the left over binding open and that's my measurement no matter the width of the binding. She is so great. I love her shows.

Hey thanks for sharing this video with us. I've never ironed my strips before I sew them together but isn't this a good idea. Especially with fabric that is the same on both sides. Her method of joining the ends is a little different then the way I was taught. Of course her method is easier!! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
