Create a Continuous Binding Strip for Your Quilt When making
bias strips for your quilt, you can either create one long strip
or cut individual strips and then sew them together to get the
length you need. You can use either of these methods to produce

binding strip, follow these steps: Cut a 44" x 44" square of
fabric (with selvages removed) in half diagonally to make two
large triangles (see a in the following figure). The square is
cut on-grain at this point.Making a continuous bias strip. You
now have a trapezoid shape with two bias edges (upper and
lower). Decide how wide you need the binding to be, and mark
lines on the wrong side of the fabric using a ruler (refer to c
in the preceding figure). Stitch the short ends of the fabric
together (right sides facing), off-setting the lines by one
strip line to form a funny-looking tube (refer to d in the
preceding figure). Carefully press the seam allowance open. With
scissors, cut the binding in one
