Make Continuous bias-binding tape
This is a very easy to make long bias tape. No more cutting and joining; the joining is done first and then the tape
is cut.
A continuous bias tape is a very easy-to-make long, long bias tape.
No more cutting and joining; the joining is done first, and then the tape is cut.
a square is all you need to make all those lengths of tape. You will have to decide on how long you want the tape
and what is the width of the tape. Calculate the size of the square and go about cutting them.
How to calculate the size of the square if you know the length of bias tape you need
It is simple enough. You just multiply the bias tape length and the width of the fully opened tape. Just find the
square root of this, which gives you the size of the side of your square.
If you want 2 meters ( 200 cms)of bias strip needed, how to calculate the size of the square you should cut it from
so 200 * 1-inch bias strip = 200 ( area of the bias tape)you have to find the square root of this area to find the size
of the square. So the square root of 200 = 14 cm square piece will yield you 2 meters of binding tape. (Fig 50)
