oh dear i cut the fabric 2.5 inches sew it together for my binding,and you press it but you burn your fingers if you don't use a needle to hold your fabric .Just grab one end and pull it through the needle as in my picture!!

If you join the pieces together you will have a seam, but make sure you lay one piece of fabric over the other on a 90 degree angle, so that when opened out it will have seams about an inch apart. Love Chris (P.S. that way there is no bulk with the seam)
557This is a great easy way to do bias binding. I was telling Meg about it on Friday. I used to do this before I got my bias binding machine and you are right it is much quicker than getting the machine set up etc. I always make sure I cut my fabric on the bias though, otherwise it doesn't ease around corners etc. Thanks for showing it Carolyn, there would be a lot of new Cuties who don't know this method. Love Chris
234254do you have a cutter for the fabric or just use scissors?

89895Doesn't this work great? Shows you that we don't need to change things just because they have been around a long time.

299557I have a tool that folds the fabric so you can press but this is a great alternative. Smart lady to think of it.
