I have never heard of such a fancy bias tape machine. It sounds awfully expensive. The kind I have looks a bit like a whistle and you just run the strips through it on your ironing board and press it as it comes out. There's a picture in this post:<br /><br />http://mouseborgdesigns.blogspot.ca/2013/02/the-1790s-stays-are-done.html<br /><br />It works very well and was only a few dollars. I marked the width of the strips on a quilting square with masking tape, so bias tape is nice and easy to make now.<br />Thank you or answering my questions, and for having such an awesome blog!Vincent Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854232669957741296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440011596489093932.post-6215377501515359262014-07-19T11:35:58.632-05:002014-07-19T11:35:58.632-05:00Hello! :D I'm so glad you enjoy my blog, I alw...Hello! :D I'm so glad you enjoy my blog, I always love meeting new historical costumers! ^^ I'll definitely follow your blog. :D<br /><br />That needle trick is so cool!

I am too sewing some hsitorical stuff, maybe you want to visit my blog as well?<br /><br />As for the bias tape maker, there is also the option of using a needle pinned to the ironing board which I'm using for my bias tape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPrFfg9rtmMLeneleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182680654861239740noreply@blogger.com
