This silver-coloured tape maker from Prym catches your eye right away with its sturdy metal housing and distinctive funnel shape. The packaging shows you exactly how it works - you pull a strip of fabric in at the wide end and out comes neatly folded bias tape at the narrow end. The compact size and light weight make it a tool you can toss into your sewing basket without a second thought.

What is a tape maker

Stock: In Stock
Model: PRYM611344

A tape maker is a small metal tool that automatically folds strips of fabric into neat bias tape, ready to press and use straight away. You cut your own fabric strip on the bias, feed it through the funnel, and with an iron nearby you press the fold lines as the fabric comes out the other side. This way you control exactly which fabric, colour and print your bias tape is made from, rather than being stuck with whatever comes off the shelf. The 25mm width gives you a handy size for most sewing projects, from clothing edges to decorative trims. The tool is built to last and will stick around in your sewing kit for years.
