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.:)

I do this - and what you end up with is a parallelogram and again no waste as buslady said.

Here is a great resource

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.

Impossible mathematically. 200 yards is 7200 inches. 7200 x 2.5 is 18000 square inches. 8 x 34 is 612 square inches.

Thanks, I've seen this done in books but it always looked complicated. This makes it a lot easier!
