If it comes in the width you want I'd recommend these! I use one for stems and it so much easier than the bars.

ONE other suggestion I think I cut the strips 3/4" I spray starched them first - let them dry - then iron them so they are stiff. When putting them through the "maker" the stiffer material was easier to work with.

OOohhhh! And, they're on sale!! What width do you cut the fabric? Do you cut it 3 x the finished width? Twice? (say, if I wanted 1/2" wide strips, what width do I cut my strips before running them through the bias-strip maker?
