Does anybody use the bias tape makers?
#35
Speaking of making bias strips...I need 1/8" strips for a mini stained glass project. Any ideas on how to make this? The bias makers don't come that small, and grosgrain ribbon doesn't have the stretch for rounding curves. I've tried sewing down one side of a bias strip and then flipping it over and folding it under and sewing down the other side which is fine until I get to anything round. Then the width dwindles to less than 1/8" and you can really see the variation. It doesn't even cover the almost nonexistant seam on the other side! Anyone done this before? I mean mini stained glass? What did you use? Thanks for any help you can give me!!

i have a couple - Clover and a metal one. I prefer the clover. I use them and don't buy bias binding anymore. I make all my own. For doing stain glass I also use a fusible tape which you press onto the wrong side of the bias(once pressed). You then peel off the paper, put tape in place and press again , then stitch down. So easy and no pins needed.
