folding your fabric to make bias binding?
 

Does anyone know of a youtube or other internet site that shows how to fold your fabric and then cut for bias binding? Has anyone heard of this method? I've seen it done and it's amazingly fast and easy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO7iT...yer_detailpage I found a video on how to do it! sorry for asking where it was. Maybe this will be helpful for anyone else wondering how to do a fast method on doing bias binding.

This isn't a utube video but it is a good tutorial with good pictures.

Like this, thanks for links

Class for a Celtic Heart quilt at a local quilt store taught that method. Easy since fabric wasn't joined so length of strips didn't matter. (You sewed strips right sides out and trimmed off excess, used a bias bar and just tucked the seamed part underneath.)

This method is very fast and accurate. I do this all the time now and am very pleased with it.

If you want true Bias Binding videos, go to youtube and search for Continuous Bias Binding. This is where you cut a square of fabric, cut in half, sew the 2 peices together, then mark the width of binding you want. Sew it into a sort of tube then cut with a scissors on the drawn lines.
I just did this last week. Made my own binding for making "Little dresses for Africa. A 12" square yielded about 60 inches of bias binding--unfinished width. Then you fold it as for binding a quilt or single fold or double fold bias binding. Of course, the larger the square--the more footage of binding you will get.

That's a really cool method... I find I get better results with on-grain double binding, tho.

McCalls website has a good video and it makes sense.

This is how I make mine as much as possible. I love not having to sew all those little cross seams.
