Cool tool

June 12, 2009 in crafting, sewing, tools by dhb | No comments

Today I visited Simplicity.com to check out some summer sewing patterns when I got completely sidetracked by their lastest sewing gadget.  It’s a bias tape maker.  Bias tape is often used to finish edges on quilts and hide seams.  Naturally, I exclaimed…”oh, I want that” but then I saw the price tag.  $99.99! 

I’ve tried making bias tape the old-fashioned way with an iron and this little tool.  It definitely takes some finessing but for the handful of times I need to make it I’m not sure this tool is worth it.  Please let me know if you’ve seen or read any reviews on this product.
