This is very similar to the directions given by Fons and Porter "way back when" (probably about 20 years ago) I find it very easy and fast to make a lot of binding.

I have never done that but really love that quilt top.

I use the tube method. If I'm using a plaid or stripe, I always use bias. It is adds another dimension or design element. It doesn't matter then if it is printed straight or not. I used to curve all corners but once I understood exactly how to do the corners they are just as easy.

Love, love, love the look of bias binding when made with stripes, plaids and checks. Plus everyone says it wears better.

I was amazed to see this video! I learned to do it this way many years ago, and had never seen anyone else do it that way and here it is. I was going to do a tutorial to share it, you saved me the work. Thank you. 🎀
