    I just tried this method and I was astonished how easy it is. Since it was my first tie it took longer to avoid any mistakes, but with more practice I can see that it will take less and less time. I also used your rainbow system for determining how much binding and flat yardage you need for your quilt and it was so easy and accurate, I could put my calculator away. Thank you for making this task a lot easier!❤

    OMG. I followed your directions as seen on video. I can’t believe I made 6.6 yards of continuous bias binding with 1/2 yard of fabric with no waste! I have a little confusion on where to cut your yardage is half at the beginning. So I placed my 11” mark on the ruler on the folded line and then matched up my 45 degree angle line to the edge. Again I am so surprised how easy this was. No lines no manual cutting and perfect bias binding. Thank you, thank you for sharing!

    This did not work for me. I had a half yard 45" piece of fabric. After removing the selvage edges, you say to sew the two straight edges together, but there were four straight edges and they were all of different lengths. I'll go back to the old way once I get more fabric. 😢

    Good grief! Perhaps this quirky method would be satisfying to some; however, not me! I can make yards and yards of bias binding that may have more joins but is more accurately cut and less confusing. I might discard a little more fabric but I always prefer precision in each step of my quilting.

    I want to do this so bad. I have to use 2 yards of fabric because my quilt is so big and I have scalloped edges. I am having a hard time knowing where the selvage sides are; when you cut the fabric it wasn't in the video. Also, with the striped fabric I cannot tell the good side from the wrong side. When you said to sew the raw sides together I get confused because all the sides are raw and that process is also not in the video. I want to understand this and make it work but I also don't want to waste my fabric by messing it up. You make it look so easy and it is amazing! Are you folding the fabric in the beginning or is just laid out with no folds? Do you think it is possible for me to do this method using 2 yards of fabric? If so at which point should I make the first cut? Half way down the length maybe? I appreciate all the work you put into this video and your enthusiasm! I really would love to learn this process! Thank you for all your help!😍

    • @GeekyBobbin
      @GeekyBobbin 7 месяцев назад

      Selvedge is parallel to the stripes on this fabric. No folds when cutting. First cut can be anywhere in the middle. First seam is the shorter edges, so for you this would be the non-selvedge edges. Feel free to try on a smaller cut of fabric first to get the hang of it.
