There are 612 square inches in an 18" x 34" piece of fabric. !
If you made your binding 2 1/2' which is common, you'd get 252 running inches of binding or 7 yards of binding.
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

200 yards would be a miracle! Can't be done. At least not by us. The Big Guy would have to make that cut for us!

thank you for this. Please ignore the stupid comment about yards vs inches. It's an easy mistake to make and quite beside the point. It's a great and useful video and who cares about your typo. Some people just like to nit pick.
