Thanks for the detailed video. I got one from Market place. Brand new! $20. Mine has two ironing cover pieces but only 2 sizes of heads. 4/32 and 1inch. I have a thingy for adding piping too. More research needed I think. I like the idea of using my manual heads and a little fiddling with hubby and adding tape!
Fabulous tutorial. Thank you for showing this, i have wondered if it's worth it. I do mostly 2.5" tape so I will look for the proper foot. Thanks for the tip in using different tape pieces. Priceless... Babs near Tombstone AZ USA
Bought a new one from Spotty today using the voucher and it’s a half price day . All up $70. Comes with 5 tips. Thanks for the great no nonsense video.
I have one that I bought several years ago and only used it recently and loved it. I typically use my serger with the bias binder feet. For people that do very long bias strips there is a simplicity "the winder" that works along with the bias tape machine. What it does is re-wind the bias strips onto spindles
Love the suggestion to use bias tape maker tips you can buy online to supplement the tip that comes with the Simplicity Bias Tape Machine. I just got the Bias Tape Maker machine, and the Simplicity tips available for it are ridiculously expensive.. But the work-around in this video, using the inexpensive bias tape maker tips available are a good alternative. One extra suggestion if you don't want to remove the metal ring and file down the plastic insert on them is to just turn them over, so the plastic insert is facing upward and so is the folded side of the bias tape. The tip will lay flat with no alteration if it's taped down or Scotch double sided tape is put underneath. The heating elements inside the creasing part of the machine irons both sides, and the rollers roll both sides regardless of which side of the bias tape is facing up, so the result is as good as using the original tip(s)--I tried both. What a great video, though-it opens up more possibilities without spending a fortune on tips.
Thankyou so much for the video i just purchased one from Facebook marketplace $100 inc postage so im happy now to use it , i didnt realise it only came with one tip but i have a set like yours which i will try to adapt, thankyou for explaining how to do it 😊
I just sent for one of them and thank you for a great video for the adaptation. Can't believe how expensive the separate tips are. I'll report back when I've used it!
Love your video and how you made your own different sizes. I have a machine but have not used it yet as I misplaced the instructions. Yours were great. God bless!
Omg, what a find!! Have just started using bias binding and trying to make my own has me frustrated (being 69 y.o. is probably the reason there). Such a great little machine. Thanks!
Fantastic! I was given a new in the box one that the original owner lost the directions for and she could never figure out how to use. I watched two other videos and couldn't get it to work. The trick was that starting bit that you sacrifice. The other videos never said that! Game changer! Rolled out a massive amount of binding in 5 minutes! Thank you!
Do you have any thoughts on whether you could do this with a laminating machine? Perhaps stick one of those ebay tips down on the front or on a table and manually help feed through? I agree that most shop-bought bias tapes are very boring!
Terrific video and much appreciated. Is there any workaround for doing a second fold? Specifically taking 1" single fold and running it through again for 1/2" double fold.
It’s been awhile since I have used it due to a back injury. But from memory it made it to think to go through the bias clips. But you can free hand feed it through the machine and it will iron roll it in half for you.
Great video thanks. I’ve wanted one of these for while but the only ones I can see are on eBay from USA and really expensive like $400 to $500. I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 and I’m also assuming these would have an American power cords 🔌
Hi Candid. They are a great little machine. Mine has the standard Australian plug. I got mine of either market place or eBay I can quite remember. Keep hunting. Check out the destashing Facebook pages. You might strike it luck.
That I am not sure of sorry because I’m in Australia. Mine I purchased second hand online. I think google will be your biggest assistant for your answer. But when you do please come back and let others know where and how you got yours.
I just picked up this machine at a church yard for 2 dollars. They had lost the cord and couldn't test it and didn't actually know what it was so they let have it for 2 bucks! :)))
@@DitzyBellzzCrafting My son had one for his PS2 system, so he let me borrow it to see if it worked and it worked perfectly. It actually looks brand new. I ordered a cord for it on Amazon. I went looking for the smaller thingys that make narrower bias but Amazon didn't have any so I checked ebay and they were selling for 40-60+ a piece!? I'll just do what you did, and adapt the ones I already have to fit if I need them.
Our apologies. It was one of the first videos the ladies had made and were learning themselves. Sadly once it up we haven’t worked out how to lower the music in the background. Scott
Lady, you are worrying me. You've left the hot iron in the enclosed box for way too long already through your demo and talk. I would have not closed it off altogether until it cooled completely first.
Wow this is one of the best videos ever she saved me so much money by showing me the trick with the other tips!!! Thanks so much

That’s a fantastic tip. Thank you for sharing.
@@DitzyBellzzCrafting Another tip: "Light Finish" spray starch! Helps to crisp up the folds without stiffness.
Thanks for the great tip 👍
BRILLIANT IDEA- to adapt the other size bias tape guides.
Thank you. Glad it helped you.

Congratulations. I’m sure you will love it if you do lots of bias
Thank you for saving me so much money! I was gifted a machine with no extra pieces.
We are so happy we could save you money as well. Happy binding 🧵🪡Lou
Genius! Thank you so much for the tip on adapting the ‘normal’ tips.
Love your vids for their no BS! Thank you! 😁 from a sewing newbie!
Hi Ashley. I’m glad you like our videos. We try for the no BS just raw honesty. We hope to get back to more videos soon.
Love your video and how you made your own different sizes. I have a machine but have not used it yet as I misplaced the instructions. Yours were great. God bless!
This machine is selling for over 300 hundred dollars now!!! On amazon , its listed at over 450 bucks.
Omg, what a find!! Have just started using bias binding and trying to make my own has me frustrated (being 69 y.o. is probably the reason there). Such a great little machine. Thanks!
We are so glad we could help you.
Just got one! So glad they are making them again.
Thanks so much for the tip on how to adapting the tips. You just saved me LOTS of money!!!
You are very welcome. I’m glad it helped you. I love my machine.
Excellent demonstration I had this machine quite a while not used ofl late but watching your you tube I was able to use it again thanks
Sorry for the late reply. I’m glad we were able to assist you in using your bias maker.
Thank you for the demo.
Do you think the machine would handle denim fabric to make strips or weaving?
Great video, thank you very much. Just an observation for the future - please lose the music! It’s incredibly annoying and distracting 😊
I LOVE this little machine.
What an awesome tutorial! I have only discovered this machine today and you have this fantastic clip! I now have to find one 👍🏼 online in 🇦🇺 Thank You

Yayyyy I’m so happy for you that you got one and now you can use it. 🧵✂️🪡Happy Sewing. Louise.
I have one of the early ones that you pull through yourself! Didn’t know about the automatic! I’m jealous!
Keep a look out on eBay and other sites for a used one. Fingers crossed you find one soon. Regards Scott
Great tip for adapting, I’m looking to get a machine but wasn’t excited to pay the price (~US$70-120 +S&H) for each extra tip 😂
Hi Sam. It sure can get pricey. I found these to do exactly the same job for much less. ✂️ Louise

Nice demo
This is a really great informative video thank you.
Just picked one up at the arc $8.99 can’t wait to try it.😊
Wow that was a great buy. Congratulations

Spotlight has them with all tips included. Wait for when it's on sale.
Oh I just looked it up. That’s fantastic. Might be putting that on my sales list. Thank you for sharing
can you do single fold binding?
So good!!! Where would I find this machine at Washington D.C? Thank you so much!!!

That’s amazing. Have you found another cord at home.? Did it come with the bias gadget as well?.

Hi Anne. Happy 💃 dance for you. Glad the cord worked. I agree it’s much cheaper to use the ones I demonstrated. Happy Sewing. ✂️ Louise
I have one of this but it does not work.
Thank you so much!🤗
You’re very welcome
If you're lazy like me , there's no need to even roll the fabric up the spool 🤣🤣
This is great but I bought the winder so much faster 😂😂
Супер штука!!!!
I dont see any closer to price range. Most are $2.99 to 495. I realy want to but one.
my mistake.I mean to type $299 - $799. yours you got it leser price.
Anyone in the Dallas area? I have a brand new one and had no idea what it was for. I can give you a good deal on it.
How much? Do you have additional tips?
Available?
Is this sold?
Aaron Ramirez interested. Cost please
I just have a lump of blue tack..
Please let me know how you went with the blue tack Regards Lou.
@@DitzyBellzzCrafting works a treat..
Thank you for letting me know.
The music was soooo annoying. Great video though.
Unfortunately the annoying music makes this very difficult to hear and the music isn't necessary: your explanation is enough.
Our apologies. It was one of the first videos the ladies had made and were learning themselves. Sadly once it up we haven’t worked out how to lower the music in the background. Scott
