I have one from several years ago. It was discontinued and now it’s back! The only difference is that all the tips come with it now whereas I had to purchase them separately. There was also a bias tape winder that was available in case you wanted to make huge quantities of bias tape and have it wind onto a spool as its made. You could probably find that on EBay now. Fun to see it come back!!!
Hi Lucy, thank you for doing this demo, it’s so useful to see an aid in action to help decide to buy (or realise I ought to!). I would like to see their bobbin winder, would you be able to do a demo of that please? Cheers, love your videos they’re so informative and well-paced to get a really good understanding of the topic you’re talking about.
This is a great little machine. When I purchased mine from Hancock Fabrics before they closed, I had to purchase a couple of the different tape makers separately. But I love it!
I think it might be the Seren dress from Tilly and the Buttons. I only say that as Lucy had an Instagram post wearing it and I loved it so much I bought the pattern and have made my first one. Perfect for the hot spell. We are currently having!
Hi Lucy, I went to the website going to buy this maker and read it will only work in the United Kingdom so I’m assuming this won’t work in the USA, correct? It might be helpful to mention this in the video just encase someone might not see this before purchasing the maker. Thanks for the help and the video, I was really excited when I seen this maker because I make quilts and garments and it would have really help me out. Can you please let me know if you all change this so it could be used in the United States as well. Thanks again
I just got one from Amazon for $150, free shipping - more than I wanted to spend. I'm in California. It arrived one day earlier than expected. Pretty pricey but it comes with six sizes of tips - some are double fold and some are single. I haven't tried it yet.
So I'm watching this demonstration and I'm wondering why are you cutting on the 45-degree angle?I really don't like waste and this seems like it would cause a lot of waste why not cut normal straight lines and then use half hexie's templates to give those angles at the end I'm just wondering if there is some other reason to cut it on the 45-degree angle?
Bias tape is exactly that, fabric cut on the bias. Cutting this way give the tape a bit of stretch to conform nicely to places it’s normally used - the curved edges of necklines, armholes, etc.
There is a way of cutting continuous bias tape from a rectangle of fabric with no waste. I’m sure I saw a video for this on UA-cam some time ago! The fabric is sewn into a tube with the ends offset. Has anyone else seen this?
@@lindahopkins4389 I recently saw someone cut bias tape from a smallish piece of fabric and got YARDS from it. I think the channel is a square pillow isn't square. She does home dec sewing for a business.
I forget what I paid but I remember it was really cheap on clearance at Joanns years ago. Then I got the different sizes dirt cheap at Tuesday Morning before they closed. I’ve rarely used it. I guess if I was binding a big quilt I would use it. But I don’t have the room to leave it out so if I just need a little bit of binding, I do it the old way.
@@brendajefferson5984 I thought it was a lot cheaper before now $200 in the USA. Maybe joanns will let me use a couple when they start selling them. I really want one
Oh Boy, I'm a fashion designer who loves to use bias binding in my designs. This is a gadget that I'd like to have in my sewing studio.👍🏾
I've had mine for years and I love it, especially for making a ton of quilt binding.

Thanks, Lucy, such a cool machine. Would love to own one someday.
Thank you Lucy. I am very tempted to buy one. Much easier than making my own binding...Grace
I have one and now I know how to use it, thank you so much Love your videos, Iearn so much from you.
Love your dress Lucy
I would like to find that that folds 2.5" in HALF
I have one but have not used it yet. Do you have to cut material on the bias or can you use strips of straight grain. Thanking you Desley
Thank you!
I have one of these, are you selling the tips separately, thanks
I am afraid the tips are not available separately
Wonderful I need one😍
What fun!
Love your dress! Which pattern is that?
I think it might be the Seren dress from Tilly and the Buttons. I only say that as Lucy had an Instagram post wearing it and I loved it so much I bought the pattern and have made my first one. Perfect for the hot spell. We are currently having!

I bought one at a tag sale for $5.00, where can I find more tips…

Why can't we get it in America and if that has changed what's the price in dollars

Show the plate thing. The one I got is in pieces. I cannot tell if that’s right or wrong because you just zapped it on and off.

@@cherylp.3347 thank you for the explanation i am learning and soaking it all up like a sponge.
I think that Karina on Lifting Needles and Pins is the video you saw.

For those who purchased it years ago what was the price?

I paid $16.00 at the introductory price and each of extra were about $3.00 each. Less than $25.00 for everything.

Way too much money for me I'll have to stick to the old fashioned manual way
