Someone is changing words. 252 INCHES of 2 1/2 binding can never be more than 612 square inches.

And what is the mystery?
Take your 34" piece of fabric, cut a strip of 2 1/2 inches then repeat, then repeat, then repeat--------------------which is exactly what every one of us does every day

I'm not getting this thinking (I'm no math person!) But if you cut all of those strips, you'll have to be seaming each end to end. In the video it is a continuous cut. Are am I not understanding what you are saying. Sorry

:oops:

I guess there are a lot of people who don't read from the beginning. If they would have they would have seen right off the bat that she made a typing error whick everyone does. so let's move on a not carry on over the mistake. I have made many errors when I am typing and I think I caught them all and whoops missed one. She gave us a great link to a site that we can all I am sure learn from. Where is all the love we have on this board?
