There is a great YouTube tutorial by Monica Poole on how to use bias bars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLwdZb5<br />Have a look, and they are easy to use, with an added benefit of the finishes bias not stretching out as much as with a bias maker. <br />nelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193922018672929014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018753023659396828.post-13634897870295709412015-10-26T21:51:00.038-04:002015-10-26T21:51:00.038-04:00I have both and I like the bias tape makers best.....I have both and I like the bias tape makers best... just sayin'Adrienne Cleavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883377589470643615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018753023659396828.post-85391184033462222972015-10-26T21:32:20.461-04:002015-10-26T21:32:20.461-04:00I just saw a great post on a quilting blog that sh...I just saw a great post on a quilting blog that showed these bias bars! Can't find the blog, though. Bias bars come in different widths so you can make a tube of fabric and use the bias bar to shape it and iron it so the seam is on the back and doesn't show on your applique work. It's for stems and vines and such.<br />The bars are made out of different materials, (metal, strong plastic) but all will stand the heat of a hot iron. Try googling 'bias bars.'Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128379696456444487noreply@blogger.com
