You are the best Tartan! What a great tip.

THanks for showing. I wouldn’t have thought of it.

Neat trick! Thanks Tartan. I have had that problem...not enough of my favorite fabric to make the binding. Would never have thought of this solution. I am so glad that you shared it with us.

Brilliant!!!!!

Yes, I have also used that trick both as a flange and as a 'facing' when I don't have enough preferred fabric and usually have to make a sample to get the orientation right. Your directions were beautifully clear, Tartan. Thank you!

Tartan, I was just trying to figure out how to "stretch" my fabric so I had enough for the binding. What a great tip and so timely for me! Thank you.

Excellent tip, thanks for sharing.

Tartan,

Thanks so much for posting! I used your tip to rescue my project. Our LQS had a fat quarter challenge and I mis-cut the binding width (cut 1.25" vs 2.25 inches). Sewed two strips together and squeezed out just enough binding to finish project! Success!

Brilliant! Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. It's one of those "why didn't I think of that" things. So simple and yet it never occurred to me before now.
