Had to replace my original bias tape maker. This works perfectly!
I received exactly what I ordered and in a timely manner. I will definitely order from Sailrite again.
I got this with no damage and I am very happy.
Great tool at a wonderful price.

Works exactly as advertised. Big time saver! Buying additional sizes too. Fast shipping and arrived quickly.
Works good for a hand unit, does help to view the video on how to use it (watched the video on youtube)
The best and the cheapest price on the internet too.
I, too, have noticed that I don't get a full 1" wide strip from this tool, which means I don't get a full 1/2" wide, double-fold bias strip for my projects, which would be my preference. The tool's opening is only 7/8"(22mm) wide and the resulting strip is 15/16" (22-23mm) wide. Right now I'm making pocketed tool organizers for chisels, punches, etc. made of clear and opaque vinyl and my homemade bias tape made from a light to mid-weight nylon utility fabric, thicker than ripstop, to use with the handy Swing-Away binder on my fabulous Ultrafeed LSZ-1. I bind the edges of the organizer pockets and the outside edges to help with wear and aesthetics. I've learned that as I pull the 1 7/8" wide strip of fabric (suggested width for 1" tool for this weight fabric) through the Clover tool I can iron the nylon utility fabric for a much longer time on the hottest setting than I thought I could, to get creases good enough for the Swing-Away binder tool. If I start with an 18" square of fabric cut into 2 triangles, and make continuous bias strip using the two triangles reconfigured and stitched together method, I can get over 4 yards of bias tape using this tool. Even if I cut 2" wide strips, I still only get a 15/16" wide tape. Yes, it's a shade narrower than I prefer, but I can live with the difference in return for the convenience and consistency of product the tool provides. (BTW, the tool in the picture should have a blue plastic insert to be the 1" wide tool. The black is the 2" wide tool.) Be sure to watch the Sailrite videos - Making Binding or Facing with the Tape Maker and Binder Attachments for the Sewing Machine - they are VERY informative and professionally filmed with excellent lighting and clear close-ups for details.
