    Auto Bias tape maker.

    Could be very useful. Intriguing what the quilt world is bringing to home sewers from the industrial sewing world.

    And of course you need a gadget that will cut the bias strips for you.



    :D

    Cost isn't too extreme. Retail is $99 for the maker and $79 for the stripper.

    I can see a guild buying those and making them available to their members. I sure don't need to invest in them!

    If you look in the centre, it is just the same as the clover gadget for rolling the edges in, all you need to do is lay your iron on and pull the tape through and tah dah your done!! :wink:

    I have one of the Clover bias tape makers, it does a good job. This one from what I read about it creases the folds the same way purchased bias tape folds are set and does it in seconds. Neat!

    Hmm, perhaps an investment .. one person buy it and then make bias bindings for others commercially.. might pay for itself fairly quickly.
