I've only used it to make bias strips for some outfits I've made my granddaughter.<br /> I bought it at WM (where it was cheaper), and I guess I should have bought the warranty insurance, but figured it would last longer than that. Of course, that would mean having to mail it in, etc.<br /> I did love it, and I will most likely buy another one because it makes binding so much easier. I found one on Amazon at a good price also with free shipping. Some places charge way too much for these. If you pay over $60, that's too much.<br /> I would also like to know if you hear from Simplicity.ShirleyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977213395999971029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676650259809620180.post-85644292894256416722012-02-07T05:22:25.197-06:002012-02-07T05:22:25.197-06:00Good Morning.

I'm so glad you are feeling ready for almost anything... except perhaps a bias tape maker which doesn't deliver. I can feel your frustration. I am afraid that I have no experience of this machine having made my bias by hand so far as I usually need much less than a wonerful quiltmaker like yourself.<br /><br />I hope you get the answers you are looking for.<br /><br />Stephanie<br /><br />Happy February!millefeuilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608950213999238191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676650259809620180.post-56852099003355984862012-02-03T11:01:50.130-06:002012-02-03T11:01:50.130-06:00I've never seen a demo of this in person - do ...I've never seen a demo of this in person - do you have to pull the bias through or does it feed by itself? As fast as I make folded bias with the individual tips and my iron, I'm with Sharon on this one. I spend the most time cutting and sewing the strips together, not pressing them. But I am interested to hear if you get a response from Simplicity.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685952017183050898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676650259809620180.post-80465909383302457132012-02-03T10:51:01.366-06:002012-02-03T10:51:01.366-06:00I saw this demo'ed at a show one time and it w...I saw this demo'ed at a show one time and it was all I could do to stand there and watch the person get everything together and get it working to show how it worked.
