Power wrapper
While looking at YouTube tute on wrapped bowls, clicked on this one from Ami Simms website. She has designed this thing to help wrap the cord onto clothesline for fiber bowls....the volume on the tute was rather low, but it looks like she bias cut her strips..and she lightly glues down.....as she wraps....what do you think? Anyone have one of these?

You get less fraying if you cut your strips on the bias but I just give my straight grain strips a haircut if necessary. It is much easier to cut strips of straight of grain fabric in my opinion. I will have to take a look at her tool.

Here is a very simple way to cut bias as easy as cutting strips.
