I never thought i would enjoy making my own seam binding but i am having a blast with it. So much fun to have fabric i actually want as the binding instead of being stuff with what i can find at the stores or on ebay .

I too really enjoy making bias tape! It's the strangest thing to me because it seems like it'd be so boring but I really have a good time with it, very relaxing. I also love that I can make it out of whatever fabric I want so that it matches what I'm making.

It was kinda a pain at first to iron it all for the double fold . But then it was fun matching up fabrics for the projects

Hum that is interesting, Fun making that?
I have 2 of them I wanted to make for my aprons and for my quilts
I haven't as yet tried making them,
I can never find the right binding in the Fabric stores or Wall-mart for that matter.

I love the 45 degree angle, its so good on curves, lays so perfect. I will do straight if I can get by with it.

It is just the straight edge. I am using it for belly dance hip belts and pot holders .

Lisa, are you doing the straight edge binding or bias, or 45 degree cutting? Or both? I have a "cheat sheet" for my continous binding or bias. I like doing it too. Happy binding!

I got a couple of the Clover bias tape makers, but haven't
broken them in yet. Another on the To Do List.
