Cool Tools – Simplicity Electric Bias Tape Maker

I don’t know about you, but I’m not a big fan of making bias tape. It’s so labor intensive. Well, Simplicity’s come out with a very cool machine that takes much of the difficult, tedious work out of making custom bias tape. The Simplicity Electric Bias Tape Maker allows you to simply cut your bias strips, wind that fabric onto a spool, feed it into the machine and, voila!, you have bias tape! The secret is that there’s a little heated plate that you can’t see that heats up and presses your newly-folded fabric. Isn’t that wonderful? We hear that it can make around 25 feet of bias take in a minute. That’s sure a lot faster than I can with my iron! Look for the Simplicity Electric Bias Tape Maker in your favorite independent quilt shop or fabric store.
