Anyways, I want to get a bias tape maker to maybe make the process a little easier and faster, but worry that I'll be buying a notion that is a waste of money. Would you recommend a bias tape maker to a quilter (who probably puts in as much time into the binding as the blocks in the quilt)? If so, what one would you recommend?
I have the Simplicity bias tape maker and it works just fine. It takes a little practice but once you have the hang of it, you can go pretty fast!
