Thanks for that info! And when you choose a bias tape maker is the measurement for the single fold? Like if you buy a 1" bias tape maker does the tape come out at 1" or is it 1" if you fold it over? Does that make sense...lol

Well, E, I can't do everything now can I .... ;-)
When I make a 1/2 inch bias tape I make the strips about 2" wide. But that's double fold tape. Honestly, if I can make it anyone can. I consider myself a "Rachael Ray" kind of sewer, and I'm not complimenting myself there...a little of this, a little of that, make it up as you go along chickie, which sometimes works and sometimes creates a train wreck. ;-)

Those of you who make bias tape, I have a question. How wide does the fabric have to be cut for each size of tape? I found someone that's got some precut left over from their grandma's stash and so I'm not sure what size bias tape maker I'd need for it.
Thank you!

I just purchased pre-folded fusible bias tape as I am putting together an applique quilt block for a friend's wedding this fall. having fusible tape will allow me to place the tape in the intricate pattern and not have it slip or be stuck myself by pins when I sew it. I haven't sewn with it yet, but can't wait to do so.
I purchased solid tape from:

But just now I found marbled at:

But that still requires me to sew the strips and iron it!
