A few weeks ago I made a jacket made on a Koos Design Vogue Pattern where the fabric pieces were covered with bias binding. I really liked the way the resulting pieces looked and decided to have some commercially made to use in both jackets and quilts. Ok, I have all the little gadgets to do this myself but I find the process both frustrating and very time consuming.
The company listed in the Koos Book apparently is out of business but I managed to find another shop in Brooklyn which makes bias binding commercially. So I gave them a call and sent off 16 yards of mostly batiks. This is the result. I am very pleased. As far as I can figure out a yard will make about 30-35 yards of bias.
