I just purchased one of these jewels at a sale for $15.00 and it looks to be brand new. I am such a visual learner and this is by far one of the best tutorial videos that I have ever come across. Direct and to the point. Thank you so much!❤

Wow this is one of the best videos ever she saved me so much money by showing me the trick with the other tips!!! Thanks so much

Love the suggestion to use bias tape maker tips you can buy online to supplement the tip that comes with the Simplicity Bias Tape Machine. I just got the Bias Tape Maker machine, and the Simplicity tips available for it are ridiculously expensive.. But the work-around in this video, using the inexpensive bias tape maker tips available are a good alternative. One extra suggestion if you don't want to remove the metal ring and file down the plastic insert on them is to just turn them over, so the plastic insert is facing upward and so is the folded side of the bias tape. The tip will lay flat with no alteration if it's taped down or Scotch double sided tape is put underneath. The heating elements inside the creasing part of the machine irons both sides, and the rollers roll both sides regardless of which side of the bias tape is facing up, so the result is as good as using the original tip(s)--I tried both. What a great video, though-it opens up more possibilities without spending a fortune on tips.

I have one that I bought several years ago and only used it recently and loved it. I typically use my serger with the bias binder feet. For people that do very long bias strips there is a simplicity "the winder" that works along with the bias tape machine. What it does is re-wind the bias strips onto spindles

Bought a new one from Spotty today using the voucher and it’s a half price day . All up $70. Comes with 5 tips. Thanks for the great no nonsense video.

Fabulous tutorial. Thank you for showing this, i have wondered if it's worth it. I do mostly 2.5" tape so I will look for the proper foot. Thanks for the tip in using different tape pieces. Priceless...

Thanks for the detailed video. I got one from Market place. Brand new! $20. Mine has two ironing cover pieces but only 2 sizes of heads. 4/32 and 1inch. I have a thingy for adding piping too. More research needed I think. I like the idea of using my manual heads and a little fiddling with hubby and adding tape!

BRILLIANT IDEA- to adapt the other size bias tape guides.

[lucypea]

Genius! Thank you so much for the tip on adapting the ‘normal’ tips.

[valeriepeacock]

Thankyou so much for the video i just purchased one from Facebook marketplace $100 inc postage so im happy now to use it, i didnt realise it only came with one tip but i have a set like yours which i will try to adapt, thankyou for explaining how to do it 😊

[vivlee]

I just sent for one of them and thank you for a great video for the adaptation. Can't believe how expensive the separate tips are. I'll report back when I've used it!

[jodienelson]

Just got one! So glad they are making them again.

[crystalrose]

Love your video and how you made your own different sizes. I have a machine but have not used it yet as I misplaced the instructions. Yours were great. God bless!

[whitmadethat]

Thanks so much for the tip on how to adapting the tips. You just saved me LOTS of money!!!

[ashleydriver]

Love your vids for their no BS! Thank you! 😁 from a sewing newbie!

[sylviahildebrant]

Omg, what a find!! Have just started using bias binding and trying to make my own has me frustrated (being 69 y.o. is probably the reason there). Such a great little machine. Thanks!

[karenraabis]

Thank you for saving me so much money! I was gifted a machine with no extra pieces.

[dorothyfisher]

Excellent demonstration I had this machine quite a while not used ofl late but watching your you tube I was able to use it again thanks

[rachiemaude]

What an awesome tutorial! I have only discovered this machine today and you have this fantastic clip! I now have to find one 👍🏼 online in 🇦🇺 Thank You

[handiann]

Great video, thank you very much. Just an observation for the future - please lose the music! It’s incredibly annoying and distracting 😊
