If you click on the cutting mat button, you will see the type of cutting board that Art is talking about. Also, the quilting rulers can be very helpful with projects like this. I have several mats, several rulers, and several rotary cutters - different sizes for different needs.

There is also a way to make one big bias tube that can then be cut into one long bias strip that can then be cut into the individual strips to make your tubing for the balls. If you are interested in that, I can dig up the directions. The preparation takes time on the front end but would be more efficient and time saving overall, I think.
