Video: How To Make DIY Bias Tape

[hikelite]

Oh I see... so instead of folding it under a few times, you lay it flat and use Bias Tape.

So that leads me to my next "Q"

Why not just cut a LOOOOOONG strip of fabric and use that?
Why lay out a square
cut it on a diag.
move bottom to top
mark it
tube it one line off and then cut the strip out of that?

It seems that a long strip would be easier.

(again... I am just trying to learn and understand...)

So you use bias instead of grograin right. Also same as above, do you really need the stretch of real bias or can a 120'' continous peice of material be used to form the bias tape instead?

The reason you make the tape this way is to use the material more efficiently. You can take a smallish square and get a long piece of tape out if it. Since it's mostly for aesthetic reasons, being on bias doesn't affect it.
