Cutting Bias

How is your favorite way of cutting LOTS of bias? I have always had a hard time with this. All suggestions/help will be appreciated.

Read the instructions at this link:

I've actually done it this way before and it really works. You will have a lot of seams, but they will all be diagonal so there won't be a lot of bulk. Learned this in a quilt class once upon a time.

You don't have to cut unless you are going around curves. You can cut straight on the lenghthwise of the fabric. Just try it on scrap fabric it your'e not sure if you will like it.

I think Evie's site is the best. You get longer strips that way.
