Cool Cut Up...Continuous Bias Binding

The nifty continuous bias binding technique is pretty simple until you get to the part of cutting out round after round after round of binding from that awkward crumpled sleeve. It always seems the danger of a miss-directed scissor point will ruin the whole integrity of the strip. One tutorial for the binding had a suggestion in the comment section from another quilter. She said she draped the sleeve over the end of her ironing board to make the cutting go more smoothly. That got me to thinking about something that would have still less friction and more freedom of movement for the task...a tension curtain rod! It worked! This is great. Maybe I'll make all my stash into bias binding! It is that easy. Yea!
