Hi Steve --

Here's a link to instructions for making a long strip of continuous bias, as wide as you want it:

You end up sewing a wonky 'tube', then cutting around and around in a spiral. That gets you the strip of bias fabric. There will be some spots that have a couple of seams close together -- you cut those bits out and toss them!

Here's a link showing how to fold/press your bias fabric into 'bias tape':

You use your iron and a long pin inserted to the right width on the ironing board. I just made about 42 miles of black bias 3/4" wide for a stained glass quilt, where all the pieces are outlined with black strips like a stained glass window. It would have cost me upwards of $120 to buy the commercially made stuff.

Here is the link to the video on making continuous bias binding. Hopes it helps some one out there, it certainly helped me seeing some one doing it.
