About bias binding: Years ago, I purchased 2 laminated instruction sheets for making bias binding. I don't know if I can mention brands on this board but one of them is gold colored and put out by a 2-famous quilter team. The other is red and copyrighted in 1985 by a company in Tennessee. They show slightly different methods and I've used both with equal success. The red one has a handy binding yardage chart on the back and the yellow one has a method for joining the 2 ends of the binding together without lumps. The instructions are well-written and the methods are easy.
