Cut the strips, lay the two diagonal ends as shown in Fig. 67, and stitch
them together. The stitching should be as close to the edge as possible so
that the seam passes through the Binder freely. When the strips are straight
ened out, as shown in Fig. 67, the edges are exactly even. Do not join the
strips as shown in Fig. 68, as the edges would be uneven when straightened
out. It is advisable to press the seams open with an iron, and if the strips
are not to be used immediately they should be wound on a piece of cardboard
to keep them from stretching.
