I love your quilt, and am particularly fascinated by the Celtic Knot pattern.
What is the final width of the bias tape you made? Does the Clover tape maker result in bias tape that is four or two layers of fabric? I assume you used the Steam a Seam II to hold the bias tape in place long enough to quilt it down. Is this correct? Did you sew the bias tape to the quilt top by hand or machine?
Thank you, in advance, for any details you're willing to share. I have a quilt design floating around in my head right now that would incorporate long lengths of narrow bias tape, so I'm trying to gather as much intel as possible to help once I get started!
