~ Simplicity Bias Tape Maker ~



When the Simplicity Bias Tape Maker first came out, I wasn't so impressed.
After all, all it does is fold and press your precut bias strips.
I wanted something that would cut bias strips, sew them together AND fold and press.
I have an iron and an ironing board so why in the heck do I want to spend that kind of money on another iron??

Well...

Of course, I still have to cut and sew together my bias strips, but....


 WOW...
  has it saved me about an hour of ironing time AND saved my fingers from numerous burns!


It literally takes just seconds to press and fold yards and yards of bias.


I LOVE it!


I can't stop !!!


Not only is it less expensive to make your own bias tape, but it's
 WAAAY cuter than store bought too!

I have been trying to decide whether to buy one of these. After seeing your finished product, I think I might be convinced!

I've never made my own bias tape, but you make me want to!

You make me want one!
I've used double fold bias tape. How does one use single fold tape?
