I have this machine and all the tips. I just kept buying the tips with coupons until I got them all. Yes, you can use straight cut strips also, I usually only do straight cut strips. The machine is expensive so watch for it on sale. My Wal-Mart also sells it but with a sale at JoAnn's it's cheaper.

"Bias tape comes in Single Fold or Double fold.
* Single fold is flat, with single edges folded over. It’s often used as a trim and sewn flat just as it is, such as parallel to a hem or with decorative stitching on the top.
* Double fold bias tape is single fold tape that has been folded again in the middle to create a sandwich. Note that the fold is actually slightly off-center, so that one side is wider than the other, by a fraction. This makes it easier to sew with and decreases the chance of sewing on the top of the binding and somehow missing the back of the binding with your stitching. That may sound confusing. Try it out and it will all make sense."
