Bias Tape Maker - 2"

The Clover 2-Inch Bias Tape Maker is a practical sewing and quilting accessory designed to fold fabric strips into evenly folded bias tape for finishing fabric edges, creating decorative details, and completing a wide range of textile projects. This reusable fabric-folding tool guides fabric through a specially shaped opening, folding the edges inward so they can be pressed into place with an iron.

Designed for home sewists, quilters, dressmakers, and craft enthusiasts, this bias tape maker makes it easier to prepare custom fabric binding in a preferred color, pattern, or material. It is particularly useful when coordinating binding with the fabric used in a garment, quilt, cushion, bag, or other handmade project.

2-Inch (50 mm) Size

This model is designed for a nominal 2-inch (50 mm) single-fold bias tape width. The wider format is useful for projects that require broad fabric binding, including quilt edges, blanket finishing, decorative borders, and other fabric crafts.

The stated size refers to the nominal width of the folded tape produced by the tool, not the overall dimensions of the tool itself. The finished width of double-fold tape will be narrower after the single-fold tape is folded in half.

Controlled Fabric Folding

The internal folding channel guides the two long edges of a fabric strip inward as the strip passes through the tool. This helps create an even fold along the length of the fabric, making it easier to press the folds into position with an iron.

The tool is intended for preparing fabric tape rather than cutting fabric or automatically stitching binding onto a project. Pressing the folded fabric as it emerges helps set the shape before the tape is sewn into place.

Custom Bias Tape for Sewing Projects

Making your own binding allows you to choose fabric that coordinates with your project. When fabric strips are cut diagonally across the grain at approximately 45 degrees, the resulting bias tape has greater flexibility around curves than straight-grain strips.

This is useful for finishing curved edges, necklines, armholes, quilt borders, and other areas where a flexible binding can be helpful. Depending on the project, the tool can also be used to prepare folded fabric tape from strips cut along the vertical or horizontal grain.

Suitable Applications

• Quilt and blanket edge binding.

• Garment finishing and decorative edging.

• Finishing suitable curved and straight fabric edges.

• Cushion covers and home sewing projects.

• Bags, accessories, and fabric crafts.

• Decorative fabric strips and textile embellishments.

• Coordinated binding made from matching or contrasting fabrics.

How to Use

1. Cut a fabric strip to the appropriate width for the selected bias tape maker.

2. For traditional bias binding, cut the strip diagonally across the fabric grain at approximately 45 degrees.

3. Insert the leading end of the fabric strip into the wide end of the tape maker.

4. Use a pin or another suitable method to help guide the fabric through the opening.

5. Pull the tool along the strip while guiding the folded fabric from the opposite end.

6. Press the folded fabric with an iron as it emerges to establish the folds.

7. Allow the prepared tape to cool before storing it or sewing it onto the project.

For double-fold binding, fold the prepared single-fold tape in half lengthwise and press it again before applying it to the fabric edge.
