Bias tape is always cut on the bias to allow for more flexibility when bending and bending curves and angles. If you're going to apply it in a straight line, I suppose you could do it on the grain. That is something I have never attempted.

In terms of sewing, I've done a lot of different things. I suppose you could say I'm a pretty advanced sewer because I've done a lot of different things over the years, including making my own seam binding, which is very useful. Let's take a look at what's going on here. WHAT DOES THIS KIT LOOK LIKE? br>br>WHERE DO I GET THIS KIT? br>This kit is packaged in a clear plastic case with flip down locks that are made of bendable plastic rather than a hinge. They aren't great, but they get the job done for a while, and all of the contents are useful, so I'll break it down into sections. br>br>AWLbr>This is to assist you in drawing the fabric that you cut at an angle through the bias tape maker to get it started before ironing. BIAS TAPE MAKERS SIZESbr>There are four sizes available for bias tape makers. The edges of smaller items can be done with 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch measurements. It may not be suitable for thicker items such as quilts or other items that require a wider opening. br>br>COLOR CODEDbr>Each bias tape maker is color coded, making it simple to find the one you need. br>br>HOW TO USEbr>These are simple to operate. After pulling the fabric through, the end must be finger-placed and pressed with the steam iron's tip. They recommend pinning it down once this happens. I don't use pins because I don't like them. The bias tape maker has a metal handle that you pull away from the iron while ironing toward it to make even bias tape. DO THEY PERFORM WELL? br>br>DO THEY PERFORM WELL? br>It appears that these are effective for me. I had to learn how to pace myself and how to cut the correct width of bias fabric for each maker. You should plan on cutting at least twice as much bias tape as you intend to make. It's usually a little wider for me. It's about a 45-degree angle. br>br>PINSbr>This set includes pearl head pins, which I prefer because they are easier to grasp and see while working. br>br>PRESSER FOOTbr>Although this presser foot fits my snap-on sewing machines (I have Brother and Janome), I prefer to use the one that came with them. This one, on the other hand, works fine, so you can use it if necessary. It can be adjusted to fit the width of the fabric you're sewing as well as the width of the tape you're using. br>br>THE BOTTOM LINEbr>This kit appeals to me. It's fine as long as I'm only making bias tape that's 1 inch wide or less. I have a larger maker that I can use if I need it to be wider. This kit includes the essentials and is compact. br>br>FIVE STARS IN MY OPINION. This is something I like and will use again and again as long as I need bias tape. It's liberating not to have to hunt down and purchase the perfect shade of bias tape for your sewing projects.
These bias tape makers have allowed me to make miles of bias tape (or so it appears). It is, in fact, as simple as it appears. The biggest one is what I use most of the time. I like that it comes in its own box to keep everything together and make storage a breeze. I've always avoided making bias tape, but I couldn't help myself when I ran out of options. I tried these instead of folding and folding and burning my fingers with the steam, and they turned out great. Place the iron near the folder's small end, slowly pull the handle, and you'll have a nice even double bias tape.
I use scotch tape to extend the leading edge of my material and cover the sticky side completely, making it rigid enough to feed through without the use of tools.
I'd give it five stars if it weren't for the fact that the instructions are all in metric. I had to go back and double-check to see if I'd ordered a metric set by accident, but the description shows Imperial measurements. I'm having to cut a photo out of their description that shows the Imperial equivalents. Aside from that, nice case, nicely packaged, arrived on time, and the metal tape makers appear to be of good quality. It would be helpful if there was a more detailed description of how to use the tape presser foot, but it's not difficult to figure out.
Hundreds of masks were created. This greatly aided in making the job go more smoothly.
The reason I gave two stars instead of one is that the bias tape works fine, it was delivered on time, and so on, but I bought this set because it said it had an 18 mm (3/4") bias tape maker, which it did. No, the image it had was WRONG, as it turned out. For their bias tape makers, I provided actual sizing. If you don't require anything else, don't buy it. I'm extremely dissatisfied. br> I'll keep them because they work fine, but I'll have to go out and get a new one with the proper measurements.
This is ideal if all you want to do is make bias tape. Although there are no instructions, it is not difficult to figure out how to use it. It would be nice if they told you how long to cut the fabric strip for each maker. Apart from that, I wanted to use the included foot. Yes, it's made of cheap metal and plastic, but it works. I can sew a straight line that looks great until it comes time to turn a corner. Remember, there are no instructions, so you'll have to figure it out for yourself. I've looked on YouTube, but no one seems to be mitering a corner with this set. As a result, I'm making it up as I go along. Is it possible for me to express my dissatisfaction? I need to remove my project from the machine, switch feet, and then fold and sew the corners. Remove the old foot and replace it with the new one. Something does not appear to be right, but if anyone can figure it out, please make a video! With the exception of that pesky corner, I could see this becoming my new best friend. This was purchased to help me with my quilting.
The people who make the tapes are incredible! It is extremely simple to operate. Simply place the item, pin it, slide it into place, and iron it! I was about to have my fingers burned when I came across this. br>br>Binding the tape was a breeze thanks to the adjustable foot. However. If you want to make long strips out of bias tape, sew it together. It was getting stuck in the foot when you got to the pressed seams, I noticed. It was jammed up due to the extra thickness of the seam allowance. Because my feed dogs weren't strong enough on their own (even at near maximum pressure), I had to tug on the fabric to keep it going. This was inconvenient because it caused an inconsistency in my stitch length (shorter when the jam started, then slightly longer the first few stitches after it cleared). br>br>But, aside from that, the tape makers did an excellent job!.
