I do this method all the time with a slight difference... I don't have that fancy ruler so I just use my regular cutting ruler but I do part of the cutting of the strips BEFORE I sew the seam. After the seam is sewn, you only need to cut a few inches with the scissors.

Let's do some math.

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

Funny isn't it?

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.

You are right! This is a GREAT find :thumbup: Thanks for sharing. I certainly needed the visual. I have tried to follow instructions sort of like that in my quilting manual and never did get it. Now I get it!
