My favorite Bias tape maker is the 1" maker by Clover (which ends up making 1/2" double-fold bias tape). Here are some links:
1" Bias Tape Maker (25mm): www.amazon.com/dp/B001703IYW/...
1/2" Bias Tape Maker (12mm): www.amazon.com/dp/B001703IWY/...
Bias tape is my all-time favorite sewing item. I use it for so many projects! And though you can buy it at the store, it's super easy to make your own, with any fabric you like. So pull up a chair and learn more! I'll walk you thru all the steps for understanding bias tape and how to make your own, in any size or fold.

LOVE your tutes, Dana! I check back here to rewatch every time I need to make some tape, just to refresh on the instructions. For new watchers, if you have the same set of tape makers and want to know how wide to cut the strips: #6 takes 1/2" strips, but makes tapes so small and fiddly I'm not sure what they'd be good for yet. #12 takes 1" strips and makes 1/2" single fold, 1/4" double fold. They seem a good size for small seam finishing inside a garment, or delicate necklines and armholes. #18 takes 1.5" strips and makes 3/4" single fold, 3/8" double fold. I like this size for necklines and armholes. #25 takes 2" strips and makes 1" single fold, 1/2" double fold. That size would be good on hems, decorations and crafty things, they're a little too big for necklines and armholes for my taste. Have fun!

This was an awesome video. I'm making pillowcase dresses and this has been a lifesaver. I have the deluxe bias tape maker and that is making double the fun. I've made fat quarters from the left -over fabric to create the strips. I'm still trying to get the hang of sewing the strips correctly. Also, the last piece you cut off makes for nice triangle scraps to use for a quilt project.

Thank you for the clear explanation on where the 14" mark is, on the sewing machine. My sewing machine is very basic, and when I asked a store representative at a local fabric store, where the 1/4" mark was, she talked to me like I was not the "sharpest crayon", so without a seam guide, I was left guessing. Your explanation of the 1/4" seam being just to the right of the presser foot, was incredibly helpful.
