It's fantastic! My set is perfect for me. It's simple to operate. Depending on the size of finished bias tape you require, you'll cut your fabric into strips. I'm not sure if the instructions were included with my set. It didn't make a difference because I knew how to use it. If you're not sure how to use a bias tape maker, look it up on YouTube. You can learn how to use it through a series of videos. I hope this has been of assistance.
Sew your strips together diagonally so that the seam does not all go through the bias tape maker tool at the same time, reducing bulk and allowing the fabric to pass through more easily.
Mine didn't come in a box; it was simply sealed on a piece of cardboard.
I produce bias tape in a variety of sizes. All you have to do is cut the fabric (on the bias, of course!) and sew it together. ) two times the width of the finished tape To put it another way, if the device produces 14mm tape, cut your strip to 28mm.

For the price, it's a great deal. Because several reviewers complained that the bias tape makers didn't come with instructions, I included pictures. Cut your fabric strip to twice the width of the tape maker (each one is marked with the size). Cut one end to a point and feed it through the machine with the wrong side of the fabric facing up. To get the fabric through, use the awl. Iron the folded bias tape as it emerges from the other side, making sure to pull with the handle rather than the metal, which can become hot from the iron.
Choose the ideal fabric, cut it into strips, iron it, and then. . . After all your piecing and quilting, there will be no more "almost right" binding. I've also made a quilt binding that wasn't bias but was straight grain and turned out nicely with mitered corners. These small items also allow you to scrap piece your binding to perfectly match or contrast your quilt; they're also useful for the bottoms of fraying jeans and other hems that could be upgraded to last a few more seasons. Be patient, and set aside some time to cut out and iron while listening to music. You'll never accept brownish-gray as an option. When you wanted to go back to dusty leaf green, use olive-green.
There are no usage instructions included with this package. However, with a little perseverance, I was able to solve the problem. I also recall seeing a Mr. Domestic video that was extremely helpful. The fabric strip should be twice as long as the tool's small opening. The small tool is 6 mm = 1/4 inch after I converted the mm to inches. So I cut a 1/2-inch fabric strip. To get the fabric cut to the proper width, I had to practice quite a bit. I made a slight point out of the end of the fabric that feeds into the opening, which made it easier for it to feed through. I turned the tool over and slowly pushed the tool with the iron after about 1/2 inch of fabric had been fed through. The best trick was to turn the tool over and push it with the iron.
I put this in the bottom drawer of my sewing cabinet when I first bought it (over a year ago). In the month of March 2020, I'm making facemasks and running out of elastic. I got out my HoneySew Bias Tape Maker and started making ties, and it's fantastic. The blue one, which is the biggest, is what I use. I cut strips 1 3/4" wide, not on the bias, but from selvage to selvage, because it says 25mm. The fabric is fed through after I cut one end at an angle. I'm right-handed, so I use my left hand to hold the maker while using my right hand to iron while pulling my left hand to the left. After you've pulled it all the way through, fold it in half again and iron it. This is ideal for those who don't want to use elastic in their masks. Although it takes a little longer, some people prefer face masks with ties. Cons (for me): I wish it was marked in inches rather than millimeters, and that there was another one that was slightly larger than the blue one.
I cut my fabric to 2" wide using the largest tape maker (25MM). I clipped the end of the strip to make an angled shape (to make it easier to insert into the tape maker), and then guided it into the device with the end of a seam ripper. I didn't press it as it came out (since I was just testing it), but lo and behold, the fabric came out folded, 1" wide. If I were making it for real, I would have pressed it as I was making it, folded it, and pressed it again to make double-sided tape. 1/2-inch binding tape folded in half I'm blown away, and I can't wait to create my own custom binding tape for my projects! (My next purchase will be a larger tape maker to allow me to make double-sided tapes. ) 1" purse straps that have been folded.
They'll need a sewing foot, as well as an awl, four clips, and pins. I like how I can keep everything in one place, nice and tidy. by way of example The case appears to be made of plastic and appears to be quite durable. Who would have guessed that sewing could be so simple? br>A sewing foot is ideal for putting on store-bought garments. I also purchased bias tape.
I tried a practice run with the 25mm size and quilting cotton and struggled to keep the tape straight. Later, I switched to a heavier fabric, which made things a lot easier. It's still preferable to manually doing it. Better instructions and a chart indicating the recommended bias strip width for each tape maker size are definitely needed.
This is such a wonderful little set. Comes in a nice case and is exactly as shown. I wasn't expecting the special presser foot when I ordered it, so that was a pleasant surprise, and the price is unbeatable. I make a lot of corsets and costumes that require bias tape, and the colors available for bias tape didn't quite meet my requirements. This is a fantastic method.
