We have been cutting the fabric into long strips, sewing them and then cutting them into lengths. They do not need to be bias strips, especially since the spandex we are using is stretchy in all ways! We think it is more efficient, but cutting and sewing is still the most labor intensive and tedious part of making the balls. Even with a rotary cutter and mat.
