Try the new Simplicity Bias Tape Makers, Rulers, and Cutters
Aug 17th, 2009 by Penny Haren
Mimi Shimp of Simplicity will be demonstrating their latest products at the Checker Open House. Â The new electric bias tape maker has been very popular – and the new tips are now available. Â You can make bias tape in a wide range of widths by simply changing the tip and cutting the fabric to a different width. Â And Mimi will be glad to show you how!
Item #881925 Â Retail $99.99
This machine has a built-in iron that makes it possible to make 25 feet of bias tape in just a few minutes.
The rotary cutting machine works much like a wool cutter. Â Run the fabric through and it cuts it to the specified width. Â And now, they have added blades so you can cut large and small waves. Â Mimi has ideas for those too!
Item #881950 Â Retail $79.99
She will also be demonstrating how to cut a double wedding ring quilt quickly and easily. Â This special ruler includes ALL of the pieces needed to make this intricate quilt!
Item #8829419 Â Retail $17.99
And, check out their new bias ruler. Â This ruler makes it easy to cut bias strips from 1/4″ – 2 1/2″.
Item #8829420
Retail $19.99
But my favorite products are these scissors! Â They come in a variety of sizes, are lightweight and incredibly sharp. The blades are thin enough to slide under stitches so they are great as seam rippers too – even though you probably never need one! Â These 4″ straight scissors are the perfect pair to trim mini appliques.
Item #881584 Â Retail $17.99
These clippers have a sort of spring action that makes them easy to use and have a curved tip to protect your quilt. Â They are great for trimming those random threads.
Item #881587 Â Retail $17.99
Join us at the Open House and let Mimi show you how to use all of these products – any of which would be great for your next demo day!
