cutting binding help
A friend told me about a way he was shown to fold and cut binding without sewing pieces together from a yard of fabric. She just folded it and cut it. Anyone know how this was done???
Now he cuts a 1-1/2" strip in a circle to the center, single layer, it takes time.
Thanks.

It is called continuous bias binding. I did it once and it worked well but it was not the easiest method.

He said there was no sewing at all, it was just the way it was folded. No strips to sew together. I can't see how it was done.
thanks anyway.

As others have said, this gives you bias binding ...

This is my favorite video on cutting bias strips.
