I'm lazy and this machine really makes making bias tape easy. I even bought a set of various width tips from 1/4 inch upward from Nancy's Notions to go with it

I bought this from Joanns and was estatic to find that it did as promised. I went back to the store and got the 1/2" and 3/8" bias tape maker and 1 1/4" quilt binding tip. None of them work with the machine. The bias tape maker tips were too far from the "iron" so by the time the thin strip of fabric left the tip and into the iron, it was already unraveled. You end up with a flat piece of fabric, no folds. As for the quilt binding tip, I couldn't even get the fabric to fit through the tip even with tweezers, the fabric was simply too bulky and flimsy to get the entire end of the strip to fit through to get it started.
You're better off with an iron and folding it in half yourself. All in all, if you're just doing 1" bias tapes, this is a super fast and cute machine and worth it. If only the other tips work. I'd love to hear solutions to this. The only way I got it to work was to hold the tip right against the iron by hand, but that's the same as using a handheld metal bias tape maker! It took me 4 passes to get the 1/2" tip to fold a piece of fabric with the machine with hit and misses. It only took me less than a minute to do it with my manual clover metal tip and mini iron.
I'll be returning this as I'm hoping they'll fix this problem with the next generation of machines.

These are great little gizmos that save my fingers when making binding for projects. It may not be worth the cost if you don't do a lot of things that require binding, but if you do large quilts or lots of little things, it is well worth it.

I started quilting this January when I was laid off work. I find the whole binding process a big pain, so anything to make it easier is right up my alley. I finally talked myself into spending the money. Boy is it worth every penny! I starch my quilt shop quality cotton and results are straight and crisp everytime. The only complaint I might have is that the roller sometimes needs a little help pulling the fabric through. I would definitely buy again.

I bought this machine to avoid the burned fingers and to speed up the process of making my own bias tape. I read some mixed reviews but decided to try it and return it if it was not up to par. I tried it out first with a rather heavy weight cotton figuring if it can do that, the lighter weights would work as well. The press was not quite as crisp as I would like on the heavy weight, and it took a little getting used to the machine ,but it did work and my tender little fingers did not even get warm! ALSO I did not need to drag out the ironing board,the iron, etc. Too expensive at the going price but good coupions and sales are available easily enough. I look forward to the other size tips that are due out soon...although for the price they could have included a couple of sized tips. Worth it of you sew a lot and use a lot of bias tape, as I do!
