Tutorial: Continuous bias tape from a square of fabric

I love me some handmade bias tape. Bias tape is just so much prettier made from prints, and even when I do want a solid I can never find the right shade in the premade tape. Ashley from Make It and Love It shows how you can fold and sew a square of fabric so you cut one long strip of bias from it. You can create a lot of bias tape pretty quickly with this method. A 20″ square yields 191 inches of 2-inch wide bias tape!
