HONEYSEW6MM 9MM 12MM 18MM 25MM Bias Tape Maker

These have come in so handy to make bias tape easily! I love not having yet another bulky tool, taking up tons of space, as well. Once you get used to using them, it takes no time at all! Great value for your money, I highly recommend.

Oh how I wish I'd had these since I began sewing oh so long ago! No more burnt fingers and SO FAST AND EASY! I'm in love! I read that some people don't think they will hold up, but come on! They are mostly METAL and all they do is feed soft fabric through them. Unless you step on one or deliberately drive your car over them, I can't imagine them breaking. I even used them with flannel and they did great. I love that there's a little gap in the center where the turned fabric comes out. By watching that the folded fabric meets at that gap as you iron, it's easy to be sure you don't get off center. Do be sure to cut the end at a slant to start them and press all joining seams flat before starting (for ease in feeding through). Also, remember when folding them again for double folded tape, that you want one side slightly shorter than the other so you are sure to catch both sides when you stitch in place. Use stem for the best creases. You don't need the set with the "awl". Just use your hem ripper to help start your fabric feeding through, works perfectly. And if that's not enough, they arrived in only TWO DAYS! One last thing, they are in metric. If you cut your fabric just shy of 2" wide and use the blue (largest) one, you end up with perfect 1/2" tape!! Don't hesitate - YOU NEED THESE!

Getting the hang of loading them was a bit tricky, but once you do, it makes bias tape so much easier. If you staple the ends of the next strip together to the present strip, you can tug it through easily to skip the loading procedure. The 18 mm was the perfect size to make 1/2 inch tape for binding masks and ties.

I shopped around for these and found the price at time of purchase was the best. Buying 1 at the local sewing store costs almost the same as this package. I have only used the largest one but have used it numerous times. It does what it is supposed to. I am very pleased with this purchase and do recommend these. The company shipped quickly. I received them earlier than the posted ship date. I recommend you watch a video on how to use these before you start. It is easy but there are a few 'tricks' to it. Like everything, the more you use them the easier it gets. Play around to find what works best for you and the projects you are working on.

These are so much cheaper than buying individually at craft stores. So far they work great. They have a little trouble running over the seams in DIY continuous bias tape, but it's nothing the iron can't help with. Definitely a great investment, I hate bias tape so much less with these!

Disappointed since there were no instructions on how to use the bias tape makers. Everyone thinks all you have to do is look on-line. But this can be very time consuming. An alternative is to have written instructions and pictures included with the set.
