   *That is a good explanation on how to get continuous strips... only one thougtht... I would mark the lines BEFORE sewing the off-set tube. It is much easier to mark a flat piece of fabric than the bias tube.

   *You will actually get more bias using a rectangle and cutting a right angle triangle off one end and placing it on the other end than in using a square. The points will slope in the same direction (when it's put together correctly). Then you mark the width you want the strips to be, offset the long straight sides by one bias strip and sew together on the grain. Press the seam allowance and cut on the lines you have marked. It will come off in one continuous strip. Good luck, bias is great to work with and I enjoy making my own to match or contrast what I'm making.Katherine

   call Shirley at 800 729-0280, they make the  fasturn, and nothing makes bias tube easier to create!  fasturn and the sewing foot they have work nicely...

   http://www.Crowning-touch.com is the web site?
