Could someone tell me how to make bias tape. I want to make it out of the fabric I am using.
Thank you

Re: Bais Tape
Here is a link which shows how to cut bias tape.

As far as folding goes, the Clover Bias tape makers are supposed to work well. I have them in a couple of sizes, but prefer to fold my binding in half to attach it, so I've never used them. Also, if I'm binding a quilt, unless it has curves, or I REALLY want the design on the bias, I cut my binding on the straight of grain.
