I use the tracing wheel also. I place colored tracing paper on top of the fabric, lining up the edge. Use the straight edge of the ruler to mark the measurement needed, then use the tracing wheel along the ruler edge. Using the colored tracing paper reinforces the marked line from the wheel, and when folding over the edge, I know if I am spot on or not.

See what we do for each other?? Its amazing to ask a simple question and get such a response! One will give a tip, another will "enhance" it and away we go!

You all are awesome! Thank you!

Great idea, making a fold line by "sewing" with no thread!

Just had a thought. There is an inch binder maker . I have one and did use it for wide sashing in a quilt. Very easy to use, you put fabric through tool thick to thin take end that comes out and pin with a pin without plastic onto you ironing board and press as you pull out.

Can you use a bias tape maker, or is the fabric too wide?
