Simplicity Bias Tape Maker

The Simplicity bias tape maker is a fantastic way to easily create metres and metres of accurately folded, pressed bias binding at the touch of a button. It allows you to choose the perfect fabric to match your project and custom make the bias binding in a wide range of widths to suit your needs. Included in the box are attachments to make 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 and 1/4" bias binding. It really is so easy to do and we even show you later in the video how to create the bias strips of fabric to feed into the machine so stay tuned for that. Whether you're into quilting, patchwork, home dec or dressmaking this is a fantastic sewing gadget and is so much fun to use. Find links to everything you need below as always.

Oh Boy, I'm a fashion designer who loves to use bias binding in my designs. This is a gadget that I'd like to have in my sewing studio.👍🏾

[ccjc]

you've explained this better than many others! Thanks!

[jennifermaddock]

I've had mine for years and I love it, especially for making a ton of quilt binding.

I have one from several years ago. It was discontinued and now it’s back! The only difference is that all the tips come with it now whereas I had to purchase them separately. There was also a bias tape winder that was available in case you wanted to make huge quantities of bias tape and have it wind onto a spool as its made. You could probably find that on EBay now. Fun to see it come back!!!

[brendajefferson]

This is a great little machine. When I purchased mine from Hancock Fabrics before they closed, I had to purchase a couple of the different tape makers separately. But I love it!

Thanks, Lucy, such a cool machine. Would love to own one someday.

Hi Lucy, thank you for doing this demo, it’s so useful to see an aid in action to help decide to buy (or realise I ought to!). I would like to see their bobbin winder, would you be able to do a demo of that please? Cheers, love your videos they’re so informative and well-paced to get a really good understanding of the topic you’re talking about.

[michaelgracewatts]

Thank you Lucy. I am very tempted to buy one. Much easier than making my own binding...Grace

[barbaraa]

I have one and now I know how to use it, thank you so much Love your videos, Iearn so much from you.

[desleybartlett]

I have one but have not used it yet. Do you have to cut material on the bias or can you use strips of straight grain. Thanking you Desley

[gwenmangelson]

I would like to find that that folds 2.5" in HALF

[beverleyheffernan]

I have one of these, are you selling the tips separately, thanks

[tammyaltic]

Hi Lucy, I went to the website going to buy this maker and read it will only work in the United Kingdom so I’m assuming this won’t work in the USA, correct? It might be helpful to mention this in the video just encase someone might not see this before purchasing the maker. Thanks for the help and the video, I was really excited when I seen this maker because I make quilts and garments and it would have really help me out. Can you please let me know if you all change this so it could be used in the United States as well. Thanks again

[earlymorn]

Love your dress! Which pattern is that?

[murphzmom]

I bought one at a tag sale for $5.00, where can I find more tips…

[kambyr]

Show the plate thing. The one I got is in pieces. I cannot tell if that’s right or wrong because you just zapped it on and off.

[brendastevens]

Why can't we get it in America and if that has changed what's the price in dollars

[Cjandlindseyland]

So I'm watching this demonstration and I'm wondering why are you cutting on the 45-degree angle?I really don't like waste and this seems like it would cause a lot of waste why not cut normal straight lines and then use half hexie's templates to give those angles at the end I'm just wondering if there is some other reason to cut it on the 45-degree angle?

[jsd]

For those who purchased it years ago what was the price?

[teresiastepp]

Way too much money for me I'll have to stick to the old fashioned manual way
