Thumbs up Another Christmas Present to Myself! LOL

I found a Deluxe Simplicity Bias and Piping Machine on Ebay.........was just looking for the bias maker but bid on this one, new in box, and won.
It arrived last night, so I haven't played with it yet!

I've started making 8" round potholders so thought this would come in handy as I seem to burn myself pressing the bias binding. I am not the most coordinated person.......fell on my front porch yesterday, ouch.

My insight with Insulbrite: for a few pieces I can deal with the fluff that floats, but I'm starting to mass produce the 8" circles on my Go! BIG and for me it was not the best idea I've ever had. Cutter works great but the fluffy stuff got in my eyes and irritated my skin. Now I think I will just go with the 100% cotton batting and maybe terrycloth fabric. I don't mind putting used towels in my own potholders but for gifts I want all new fabric, etc.

Hubby knows I was looking for the bias tape maker and since he wouldn't have a clue I just became my own gifter. LOL
