https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...omforts+videos look for how to cut bias binding. Sheuses a piece of stripped fabric as her example. It is the only way I do it now. Easy Peasy!!

Wow! Great video! Similar to how I have been doing it, but actually better. I will do it that way from now on. Thanks again! :thumbup:

Thanks so much for the links. I read through it. At the end, she states to cut it now on the lines. Does she mean with scissors? Surely she does not mean to lay it down and cut it with the rotary cutter !!?

Yes she means cut it with scissors. You start at one end, and if you've made the tube correctly you'll have one continuous line to cut round and round til you get to the other end of the tube. It's kind of awe inspiring the first time you do it.

Yes, I really like this method, I like a several of her methods, I like her method of joining bias
strips and mitered corners.

I make the tube without the lines.....Put a small cutting mat on my ironing board and cut with ruler and rotary cutter. I also found this on pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/pin/387591111651173903/

I only use bias binding. I prefer to fold and cut my bias binding. I can fold and cut a yard at time, and sew my ends together pretty easily since I square all edges before I fold and cut. It gives me enough for most quilts, and leftovers get usd on scrappy quilts.

Thank You! I really like this way of doing bias binding. I have done the continuous binding & don't really like it. There are many small bits & seams.
