OOOOO I have so many projects that require bias tape that I haven't done yet because I think that the price on bias tape at the stores is outrageous. Being able to make your own would save money and make coordinating it to the project that much easier!

I've put this on my Christmas list, just in case I don't win. I'm on a sewing kick lately and the store bought bias tape is just not doing it for me…

I would love a tutorial or tip list on using bias tape. I am just ok with it and would love to get better, because I love the looks of it on projects.

Jaime…Thanks! I have seen this tutorial…and it's awesome!:) But I would also like some tips on how to use said bias tape a little more effectively. ie: making curves with it that look perfect, pinning it down more evenly….little things/tips to help me. I know…I am needy!:)

Just want to let the other commenters know: This frivolous piece of machinery is JOY with a plug. You want this! You do! They are FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. When the magic little light comes on and I get to hit the RUN button and it starts making its happy noise I giggle like my 2 year old with a cupcake. I would never have known I needed such a a magical piece of awesomeness without the fantastic ladies of Prudent Baby either. My husband is SO thankful I spent his money on it too, I just know it!

I want this. Bad. I feel I deserve a little piece of yumminess and craftiness this week. Cooped up in a hospital for weeks missing my family and clicking on this site from my blog. I.Want.It.

Just sayin đŸ™‚

I have a great idea… don't even worry about this contest. Just send this amazing little gadget to me, and you won't have to worry about it anymore. Thanks.

I can so use a bias tape maker! I've been DIYing it with a needle pin..

I've seen the tutorials and just haven't had the chance to go out and by the manual one.

OH my gosh! This would be a huge lifesaver! Maybe I'll actually make the bias tape bag I've been dreaming about making! Maybe I can even combine the mystery trim with the bias tape and make a fancy apron! What do you think about that!

Aaaah! This is on my Amazon wish list. I keep looking over my list & hoping someone will get me this for Christmas. I must enter the November contest. Send the newsletter—send, send, send…I really need it. I'm pretty sure it will be a personal treat in the New Year if nothing else works out. Thanks for an awesome prize!

OMG!!! I so want to win this (as if I don't want to win every giveaway on every blog). But seriously… this could SO improve my brand-new-still-has-the-tags-on-and-that-weird-plasticy-smell-not-so-great-yet-but-trying-very-hard sewing skills! Thanks for the chance (I already subscribe).

i've been thinking the best way to reduce my stash quickly would be to make some bias tape from a few of my idle fabrics! then i'd be inspired to make a few more bias tape bags from your awesome tutorial! i'll be waiting impatiently for the newsletter to find out how i can win this!

I need this! After working on my daughters birthday present blanket last night and running out of bias tape right before I was finished I was so frustrated! I have to drive 45 minutes to get anywhere with any sort of sewing supplies which is so crazy! (I keep trying to convince my husband this is more than a sufficient reason to move) Then after laying out my blanket that I spent hours on I decided I don't even like the boring solid color against my pretty printed fabric and now I wish I wasn't such a chicken to try to make some myself. Guess this will have to make it on the christmas list if I don't win!

Looks like a really handy dandy tool. Now, if I could just win a serger as well!!!

Question re: subscription – I haven't received a newsletter yet (subscribed a few weeks ago, on the first post). I checked spam folder, etc. Have you sent a newsletter yet?

Not a fan of the bias tape cones but this one I would LOVE to get my hands on. Oh how life would be so much easier to make cute clothes for my THREE girls. The old fashion way is just not working for me anymore.

By the way if I keep reading your blog and seeing all the things that I "must have" my husband is going to ban me from your site. lol

Well this would be nice since the only store that sells anything to do with sewing is closing…so now the only store is 45 miles away to buy material patterns and etc….

omg- you dont understand the timing! I have never entered a contest that Ive wanted to win so badly! Ive been dreaming about attempting making my own bias tape for months now and must have looked at your tutorial on making bias tape 50 times! I finally took the plunge this week!! and it came out beautiful! Im in love with all the possibilities! only problem was that I folded it down and ironed by hand and seriously burned myself a few times so this machine would be AMAZING!! thank you for the chance to win!!
