Load the bias tape maker with a binding strip. Pull the fabric through the bias tape maker and press as the folded strip exits the other end. (I found that my strips were

Measure the width of the pressed strip and divide the measure- ment in half. Measure this distance out from the seam and draw a placement line for the edge of the bias strip.
Position a folded bias strip over the seam, aligning the edge with the marked line. Use a glue stick to hold the strip in place.
