| Step | Description |

| 1 | This lesson is in French piping. I am going to show you how to cut the bias strip first for the piping. |
| 2A | I have prepared my pattern. I have marked my bias strips and they are 1 ½” (3.8cm) in width. |
| 2B | And, I have my fabric sandwiched between two pieces of paper and then pinned them together. It just makes it easier for cutting. |
