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.

Wow! What great gadgets. At those prices, I will sadly have to do it the old fashioned way :cry: :lol:

Does look like a neat thing to have ~ if you have the $. Sadly I'm like Ninnie and will have to do it on my own. (bummer------)

It looks as if you may need a 'Licence' for that!!! dangerous weapons...

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.

Any one familiar with Lollypops pre made bindings? I think this is the machine they use.

The lollipops are very pretty never heard of them before.

What will they come up with next. You're right, the lollipops are really cute. Looks good enough to eat. Tee Hee

$79 for a stripper? :oops: :oops: :lol: :lol:

Sorry. I have a naughty mind sometimes!

Maaaaa---rrryyyyyy!

Tee hee! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll do it the old fashion way also LOL

Okay I admit it I am a gadget person. I can't find this particular binding gadget - can you please post a link or tell me how to find it on line.
Thanks
Karen

It was presented at Quilt Market. Shops can oder it from a distributor and depending on demand it could take a few months for it to be available.

i got one but will not be here till june they said they where taking orders frist and that in june i will get my hope it works i got the one on top picture

Here's my thoughts on the cutter...it will be interesting (unless you don't care) how large of a piece of fabric (as in width) you can use. On the wool cutters, you have to cut and rip a piece and then run it thru...otherwise your fabric pulls it w/the weight to not make a straight cut. And, there sometimes is a bit of throw away waste when doing that. Just something to think about..:)But, then again...who can't love to play w/new sewing toys?!LOL Skeat

I agree with Izy, looks just like the Clover bia folding tools. I have couple of the Clover ones and thought at the time they were pricey. These new gadgets look really neat and you won the Lotto and had extra coins to spend. So it's back to the old way of measure, cut, etc.

Same here... wait a while, maybe it'll become cheaper...

Is this gadget limited to one width of bias tape? It looks as if the area where the strip is will take a wider strip, but the part where the strip is folded would only be one size. Does anyone have a link for more information please?

Looks very interesting...but for now I think I'll continue to do it the old fashioned way...I'm not in a big hurry anyway. :lol:

Do you know where this product can be purchased.


Thanks,

well, K, here's a price for me and B, to talk over, when she gets back :wink:
Oh, that's right, we decided it wasn't 'that' kind of show. :roll: :lol:

(???- referring to my veggie garden post, lol.)

PrettyKitty, you aren't the only one who thought that! LOL

jojo

You naughty, naughty girls.... :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ha ha ha the stripper is cute girls. I suppose if you were a long arm quilter that did this for a living, the binding maker would make a lot more sense to buy. I am sure they would use it to make money with.

I want to know where to get one of those lollypop baskets. My neighbor's birthday is comming up and she would scream in delight over this gift. I had never seen that either.

Easy to find: http://www.popsbindings.com/

oh, Patti, we can get you on the billing too, if you like to dance between block making?...more stash-cash :?: :?: :?: :lol:

Now C...there was a time when someone might have paid to see it..but now it could only be billed as a "freak show"!!!! I could get that flab a floppin' and no tellin' what would happen!! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-dance014.gif

ROFLMBO!!! that's why I'm an agent, and K, is the dancer! :wink:
but Patti, I think you jest.:D
man, if I could flop and flap, like your little emoticon, there, wouldn't be nuthin to worry about. He's on crack!:lol:

I will stick to my clover bias tape makers and iron. I stick the tip of my iron down where it is touching the metal tip of the bias tape maker. Then I slooooowly pull the fabric out of the bias tape maker, running it under the iron. Works for me and doesn't even $10. :mrgreen:

You're right, Izy. Why do I keep forgetting that I have one. Hmmmm, I wonder where it is. Now, all I need is a binder tool. I can't believe they haven't come up with a reasonably priced one for the home quilter.
