The Clover Fusible Bias Tape Maker is a hand tool for making your own bias tape from any fabric you choose, in the 25mm size. It works like a standard bias tape maker with one addition: the tool has two grooves rather than one. Fusible web tape sits in the upper groove and your bias-cut fabric strip in the lower, and pulling both through together while pressing with an iron folds the tape and bonds the adhesive in a single pass. The result is bias tape you can position and temporarily fuse in place before you stitch, instead of pinning it. Complete instructions are included.
Making your own bias tape means you are not limited to the colors and prints on the shop shelf, which matters most when binding a quilt, finishing a garment neckline, or edging a bag in a fabric that matches the project. The tool is made from plastic and metal. Note that the fusible web tape is a separate purchase and is not supplied here; this listing is for the one tool only, with no fabric, web tape or notions included. Clover specifies Fusible Bias Tape Web 4032CV as the matching product.
