Bias Tape Makers

Using a bias tape maker is a simple and satisfying way to create professional-quality binding from your favourite fabrics. Start by cutting fabric strips on the bias (diagonal to the grain) to give them stretch and flexibility around curves. Feed the strip through the bias tape maker, gently pulling it as you press with a hot iron to fold the edges neatly toward the centre. For fusible bias tape makers, insert a strip of fusible web at the same time — the heat from the iron bonds it to the fabric, ready to be ironed directly onto your quilt or applique. Available in a range of widths, bias tape makers allow you to customise binding to perfectly match your project’s colours and fabrics. With a little practice, you’ll achieve smooth, even edges that give your quilts, garments and craft projects a polished, professional finish.
