If I need a lot I usually just buy it and it never comes in fun colors and patterns. Then I was at Walmart {our Walmart has a pretty awesome craft section!} and found it on clearance for $30!!!!

It took me half a second to snatch it up. Usually I have seen them go for $60+! So it must have been fate.
Now it is so fun to make bias tape. So easy and fast with this little gadget!

Anyone else have a bias tape maker? Any tips on making bias tape?
That is so cool. It looks like some kind of spy machine. lol
ReplyDeleteI have a little one (that looks like the silver part of this machine)- but I've never used it mostly cause I'm scared I'll burn my fingers. I've been wanting one of the machines for a while - it's nice to read your review - I think I'll add it to my Christmas list:)
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't even know this gadget existed! I am going to have to go out & get myself one! Yay! So excited!
ReplyDeleteI envy your bias tape maker....it is a marvel. I have made and used bias tapes for 40 years manually. I live in India, so no Walmart........will be coming in a year or two.
