This is such a great tut. Don't you just LOVE Jenny?! I would like to add one hint to her tutorial. When you get to the end and are putting the two strips together, cut off a 3" piece from the end of the longer strip and use the 2 1/2" side (or whatever width you use for binding) as your 'ruler' for cutting the binding. I know this sounds convoluted, but it works every time. I used to actually cut off a piece to measure with, but now I just fold it back perpendicular to itself as a measure.

I loved her suggestion for pressing the strips before sewing. More than once I have sewed solid or batiks wrong part of the way down the binding!! Don't ask me about a batik jelly roll race, either. Let's just say I did a lot of picking--and it wasn't my nose!!!!
