what size clover bias tape maker can be used to get the size you are demonstrating?

[@CandTPublishing]

With the Clover Bias Tape Makers, you’ll be locked in to either 1/4” or 1/2” widths. Annie's handmade bias vines measure 3/8”.
Either the 1/4” or 1/2” tape makers will work well to make the tape/vines for you.

What clover size bias tape maker would be suitable to get stems like this?

[@CandTPublishing]

Hi Susan! Using a bias tape maker is a great way to easily make small bias tape like this! I would follow the instructions on your bias tape maker for what size strip to cut to make the final size you're wanting. Annie is demonstrating a 3/8 inch binding - and Clover doesn't make one that exact size. That doesn't mean there's not maybe an off brand out there that might. 3/8 of an inch is just shy of 10mm if you're looking at an item made overseas.

@@CandTPublishing thank you. I have a 6 mm bias tape maker and am using a 7/8 inch wide fabric that will give me the correct width.
