Then I might need it then. I'm doing a series of wall hangings replicating the stained glass windows of the sages found in the sword area in the game Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. There should be seven of them (seven sages) and I think two more two extra (I think one is depicting the evil guy, Ganon)...anyways, they have a lot of lead piping in different sizes.

Here's a link to the picture of the window depicting the Forest Sage:http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/thum...x-SariaTWW.png
For this type of quilt, the bias tape makers that you use with your iron are well worth the few $$ they cost. They come in a multitude of sizes too.

If you lightly starch your fabric before cutting, and then roll the pressed bias strips around a toilet paper center, they will hold their shape forever. And they store easier and neater too.

You can make a LOT of bias tape in little time with these little tools :D:D:D
