Bias Tape Maker - Does it Work?

In this video I demonstrate on how I use a bias tape maker. These strips can be used for binding, applique, handles, and accents. For those that are making masks this tool makes sewing the ties faster and easier. No more burnt fingers.

Excellent lesson! you are the only one who actually tells you how wide to cut the fabric and to starch the fabric.

[kimberlybethel]

Thank you. I had no instructions in my kit! None! You saved the day!

[lorehuseby]

you are the only one who made sense on what width material I needed to cut to make the size of bias tape. Multiple videos of how to fold but only you on what to cut the material at.

[dottiemathews]

this is such a nifty tool to use and it saves money on buying binding tape. you can make your own! i just ordered this kit from Amazon. i am looking forward to using it1

[donnajarzen]

Starch! Why didn’t I think of that. You’re a genius.

[moyagreene]

Excellent tutorial.. clear step by step.. no distracting music.. great camera work. Thank you for taking this time to share all your experience with us .

[jobarger]

Thanks for all the details & tips. Can’t tell you how many utubes I watch. Did even tell you how wide to cut fabric. The instructions doesn’t give that information either. Wasted a few hours until I found your. Great advice.

[amandastevens]

I looked EVERYWHERE for a good "how to" video.... and THANK YOU! So much!

[rexroat]

I'm brand new a sewing and using YouTube to learn. This is hands down the best tutorial I've seen! Thank you so much!

[sonniecampbell]

Good tutorial Robin! Glad you mentioned doubling size of the fabric strip, makes sense but I wouldn’t have thought of that.

[geraldineself]

Thank you for this very informative tutorial. Explanation of sizes of biased tape that each piece makes and how much fabric you need for each one, and how to make it into double fold bias tape was phenomenal.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I completely agree with the comment that your video is very easy to understand and to follow and learn from. Your delivery in plain language is like you’re having a conversation with a friend. I to am new to sewing and have been using YouTube as my guide for learning. Many other tutorials have been difficult to follow and I have had to look up what they were talking about as I was watching. Very confusing. Thank you for speaking in plain language. Bravo 👏

I bought a set of bias tape makers about 2yrs now and i haven't really actually used it yet, hopefully after watching your video AGAIN a couple of times i can try and see to make my bias tape 😊❤❤

[pampritchard]

Thank you for this simple, understandable video. The starch and cutting a diagonal in the end piece is a game changer for me. ❤

[xoombug]

This is definitely the best video on how to use bias tape makers. Thanks!

[gcarney]

Excellent tutorial concise, easy to follow and clear and distinctive pronounciation.

[deannareed]

Thank you so much!!! You made sense of bias tape!!! With the bias makers. American measurements. Thank you so much.

[clarissaangelica]

You are awesome! You explain things so clearly and smoothly. I'm glad I found you and have subscribed. Thank YOU!!!

[Chris-lcbo]

Just watched your video and I have to agree with another commenter, great job in actually telling how wide the fabric needs to be and starching the fabric. I was ready to go back to the old way. Thanks so much.
