Cut Strips of Bias out of the Fabric of your choice. Check out our sewpedia entry for <a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/communication/sewpedia/show/217">cutting on the bias</a>. The width of those strips should be determined by the thickness of the cord and the seam allowance that you are working with. We are using a 1/8” (0.3cm) thick cord and our seam allowance, as in all BurdaStyle patterns is 5/8 ( 1.5cm ) Double the width of the cord and add the amount of the seam allowance twice to it. That makes in our case: (1/8” x 2 ) + (5/8” x 2) = 1 ½ “ Cut as many strips with that width as you need for your desired yardage of piping.
