Go to the 20 minute mark to see a quick and easy way to make tape.

It looked interesting, but I think it would have a learning curve....I also noted she attached the binding to a single piece of fabric in her sample, not to a quilt sandwich, so wonder how difficult it would be to wrangle the whole thing.

I have not used a bias tape maker but would buy it from amazon. The price is $7-10 less than Love Sew. I did purchase the
LED light from them & was not happy with delivery. Tracing did not work well at all. My pkg stalled in TX for over 3 weeks. My 1st email to check delv. I was told to have patience & sent a survey. After responding in the negative & asking for a refund there was a miracle. I had my pkg in 3 days. The kit looks good but there is 1 on Amazon for less that looks to be in a canvas case.

Amazon has several of these kits in the $15.00 range by different manufactures. I have one and I love it, used it a lot when making masks and I use it for quilts, adult bibs, and towels for babies that I make from terry cloth.
