How to Cut Bias Binding on the Accuquilt GO using the 2 1/2 inch strip die. Video by Marjorie Busby. Makes approximately 240-260 inches of 2 1/2 inch bias binding. More information on b-quilts.com/blog
My GO is arriving on Tuesday so I've been watching several videos. I sat in amazement as you folded the material and I kept thinking, "Surely those folded in ears are going to be cut wonky" but they weren't! Just shows you're never too old to learn an easier way of doing something! Thanx for the excellent tutorial and I look forward to more.
Received my Go! for Christmas and used it to cut strips for a twin-size bargello quilt for my 5 year old granddaughter and am now ready to do the binding. Thanks for your clear instructions!
Hello from a fellow NC girl :) Thank you so much for this tutorial! One of the main reasons I wanted an Accuquilt was to make my own bias strips for quilt binding and your video shows a really simple way to cut them.
@TradionallySouthern I use the Accuquilt GO! There is a video by Love Bug Studios showing how to cut bias binding on the Studio cutter. This is simply a strip cutter, the bias is created by the way the fabric is folded onto the die.
Yes this video was very helpful. Thank you. I don't do a lot of quilting but I am always looking for ways to make it easier. I don't have time to do a lot.
Can you please tell me which Accuquilt your are using out of the 3 offered? Does it come with the bias binder cutter (not sure if this is the correct name)? I am a real newbie!!
Do you place the fabric 1/4" past the blade, or right on the blade? You said to place it on the blade, and you said to cover the blade, which goes against accuquilt directions.
The fabric is placed approximately 1/4" over the edge of the blade. When one says to place it on the blade or cover the blade--it means the very same thing and these instructions are the very same as the AccuQuilt instructions. This video was made long before any of the other bias binding videos were made.
Thank you for a very good explanation and demonstration of how to fold the fabric and cut and sew the bias strips. Best one I’ve seen.

So glad this is helpful to you. Enjoy your new GO!

Majorie, I always enjoy how you explain how one can use their dies the proper way. Thanks for your demo.
Thanks for this video. I prefer 2 1/4” for straight binding but will use your size for my first attempt.
Wonderful videos, I just got my GO! and have learned so much from all your videos. Thanks for sharing.
