Buy
7/8 yd
Cut 12 strips 2½″ wide across the width of fabric for 444″ of double-fold binding. Metric: 0.8 m.
How it's worked out
- Perimeter: (108 + 108) × 2 = 432″.
- Add about 12″ to join the ends and turn the corners: 444″.
- Each strip across 42″–44″ fabric gives about 40″ usable, minus ~2½″ for each diagonal join → 37½″ per strip.
- 444 ÷ 37½ = 11.84 → 12 strips. 12 × 2½″ = 30″ → round up to 7/8 yd.
Binding by strip width
| Strip width | Strips | Buy | Metric | Bias (continuous) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2″ | 12 | 3/4 yd | 0.7 m | 31 7/8″ square (1 yd) |
| 2 1/4″ | 12 | 3/4 yd | 0.7 m | 33 7/8″ square (1 yd) |
| 2 1/2″ | 12 | 7/8 yd | 0.8 m | 35 7/8″ square (1 yd) |
| 3″ | 12 | 1 yd | 1.0 m | 39 1/2″ square (1 1/8 yd) |
Bias binding is only needed for curved or scalloped edges; straight-grain strips are fine for square corners.
