Full details

It is ideal for hobbyists engaging in Celtic or stained glass quilting who require consistent tape widths, though users should note that the tool is specifically sized for 12mm output and works best when paired with compatible fusible webbing.

FAQs

Can I use this for non-fusible tape?

Yes, the tool works perfectly for creating regular bias tape without any adhesive backing.

What is the recommended width for the fabric strip?

For a 12mm finished tape, you should generally cut your fabric strip approximately 24mm wide.

Is this tool dishwasher safe?

No, it should only be cleaned by hand with a soft, damp cloth.

Do I need a special iron?

A standard household steam or dry iron is sufficient for setting the folds.

Does this include the fusible webbing?

No, the tool does not come with fusible webbing; it is recommended to purchase 5mm fusible bias tape separately.

Troubleshooting

Fabric is bunching inside the tool

Ensure your fabric strip was cut straight and is not wider than the tool's entry guide allows.

Fusible tape is not sticking to the fabric

Increase the temperature of your iron or slow down your pulling speed to ensure adequate heat transfer.

Tape width is uneven

Check that the fabric strip is being fed into the center of the tool rather than pulled at an angle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects fingers from hot iron contact with ergonomic grips
  • Ensures uniform 12mm width for all fabric strips
  • Simplifies complex quilting techniques like Celtic and stained glass
  • Compact and lightweight for easy storage

Cons

  • Limited to a single 12mm size output
  • Requires additional purchase of fusible tape for heat-activated projects
  • Requires manual fabric cutting before insertion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, cut your fabric on the bias (at a 45-degree angle) to your preferred width. Feed the fabric strip into the wide end of the tool, using a pin or tweezers to help pull the fabric through the narrow end if necessary. Once the fabric is fed through, press the tape flat with an iron as it exits. Ensure the tool is kept clean of any adhesive residue; if fusible webbing builds up on the internal tracks, gently wipe the tool with a damp, non-abrasive cloth once cooled. Store the device in a dry place to prevent the metal components from warping.
