Simplicity Bias Tape Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bias tape maker does the job. It makes crisp folds. I have only used it with quilter quality cotton. But, I figured that was the toughest test. Makes the bias tape fast and well. The trick is to make sure you press the reset button each time you plug it in or change the settings. Well worth the money. No more burned fingers. Go for it!

Bias Tip- 3/8 Inch Single Fold for Simplicity Bias Tape Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Too many problems with this machine and the various tips. First, the instructions that come with the machine are horrible. The instructions with the machine for the 1" tip tell you to cut your strip 1-7/8" yet the Simplicity YouTube video states you cut your strip 2" and also says you have to spray starch all the bias seams so that they will feed properly. Gee, like I really want to have to starch every seam in my bias tape?
As another reviewer stated, the tips are too far away from the iron and unfold before getting to the iron. I agree! I haven't tried to hold the tip up closer to the iron, so perhaps that will work, that is assuming you have starched all the seams so they will feed properly.
I got a "deal" on a set of the extra tips, but am really disappointed. ZERO instructions came with these. Have spent way too much time cutting bias tape at "guessed" widths for the tips as they come with NO suggested widths to cut the bias tape. Doubling the size of the tip would make sense, but ONLY if you intuited that from having gone searching for the Simplicity video that says to cut your strip 2" for the 1" tip! The instructions coming WITH the machine and 1" tip say to cut your strip 1-7/8". UGH!
I also found the strips getting hung up at the end of the iron under the cover if the least little bit of a seam hung out or an edge was slightly irregular.
Next, you have 5" to 6" of bias tape that isn't ironed since that's the amount you have to first pull through before attaching the iron cover and turning on the machine - that is IF you follow the machine instructions (written or Simplcity's YouTube video). Several other video reviewers have the machine turned on before they attach the tip....a really good way to get burned in my opinion.
In all, I can't say I can find a reason to use this machine. I'm sticking to my bias bars Dritz Quilting Bias Press Bars Set Of Five, and the Clover fusible bias tape makers: Clover Fusible Bias 1/4-Inch Tape Maker, 1 EA

Simplicity Rotary Cutting Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I decided to try this item even after reading the 2 one star reviews I found here at JoAnn's Amazon storefront. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, the cutter works as it is designed to. FIRST - READ THE DIRECTIONS - If you are cutting fabric you will need to adjust the tension screw, and for two layers of fabric it has to be all the way to the left. The cutter does however cut high quality quilting fabric quite well. Using this machine does take some practice so start with scrap fabric until you really get the hang of it. You do have to pay attention, and guide the material through straight. If you quilt you know you need to have accurate cuts so practice till you are really sure of yourself before cutting into your expensive goods. I can't say that using a hand held rotary cutter is really that much more difficult for me, but if you have any issues and I know folks who do, arthritis or trouble holding a rotary cutter this is something to look into. If you cut lots of strips it could be great, it is fully adjustable from 1/8" to 2 3/4" strips, straight or pinked edge. I have to say I am more sure of my old hand held but this is really great for pinking those fabric edges before pre-washing fabric and I am sure as I get more proficient with the machine I will use it more and more.

An innovative machine for cutting strips of fabric and paper. Great tool for all your recycling and repurposing projects. Cut strips to use for scrapbooking, quilting, sewing, rug hooking, fabric weaving, fabric knitting and crochet, and more! Ideal for cutting straight strips to be used in the Bias Tape Machine (sold separately). The cutting blades are made of forged steel and cut by pressure on a drum, not by sharpness, which dramatically lengthens the durability of the blades. Features a foot pedal similar to a sewing machine for operation, an adjustable guide for cutting strips from 1/2" to 2-1/2" wide. This package contains 1 compact machine measuring only 4-3/8" x 9" x 5", 2 blades: 1 straight and wave, removable power cord, safety shield around blade and a foot peddle operation. UL listed.

Simplicity Bias Tape Machine Tip - 2-1/2" Cut Strip For Quilt Binding Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really like my Siplicity Bias Tape Machine, but the 2 1/2 " quilt binding tip is a waste of money. I had expected that it was going to make 2 1/2 " bias tape for quilt borders, but it does not. All it does is to take a 2 1/2 " strip, and fold it in half. It is difficult to load the fabric into the tip, so just folding the strip in half and using a standard iron would be way easier. Do not waste your money on this tip. If you are thinking about buying a Bias Tape Machine with the idea of using it for 2 1/2 " borders, you will be disappointed.
