200 inches from a half yd of material

Yup, This produces a nice long strip of bias trimming. However the offset does produce some short bias cuts as well as long ones. I still prefer cutting it on the grain for quilt binding. Jenny does have some wonderful videos and techniques tho.:)

that is good for bias binding...don't use that much-only on rounded edges........the first time I saw that way of doing a bias binding was in the back of some quilting magazine way back when...I prefer using straight french fold for quilts....just my way.
