I love buying presents for myself. I have several under the tree now. LOL I have the Simplicity bias tape machine. I use straight strips or bias strips. It makes great fabric handles for bags too. I add a fusible strip on the inside of the fabric strip and the machine irons it close. I then half it (make a 24" long handle to 12") and stitch it closed. When many of the stores were clearancing out the machine I bought two extra, too cheap to pass up. Walmart sold the extra tips for a long time. I don't think anyone knew what they were for. LOL
