![]() ![]() If you are using the 1" maker, cut your strip 2" wide. if you are using the 3/4" maker, cut your strip 1.5" wide. You want your strips to be double the width of the maker, i.e. I was working with the 3/4" and the 1" bias tape makers. ![]() Clover sent over 2 different size bias tape makers for me to try, which meant I needed 2 different size bias strips of fabric. ![]() Until now!! Listen, these little tools have changed my entire outlook on the whole bias tape making process! Not only am I a homemade bias convert, but I bet by the end of this post you will be too! My fingers get burnt, my tape never looks great, and it is always lopsided or off kilter. I just do not enjoy the whole making your own bias tape experience. Often times I will search through my stash to see what pieces of premade tape I can use so I don't have to make my own. I will admit, I love the look of homemade bias tape, but I do not always want to go through the process of making my own. Maybe the whole process of making your own is just too tedious and you end up with a pile of half useable bias and a whole bunch of burnt fingers! You see helpers for this kind of project and tools for that, and you think to yourself, "do I really need that?" Well, I am here to answer that question once and for all!īias tape makers have been around for a while now, but the real question is do we really need them? Do they make enough of a difference to spend extra money on them, especially when we could just put those few dollars towards that gorgeous fabric we've been swooning over? Or maybe you'd rather just buy your bias tape. You are immediately overwhelmed by the amount of little tools they have. ![]() You walk into your local sewing shop and start browsing. ![]()
