simple product, when learnt how to use.
I brought this product after seeing it online. I got home and it came with instructions but they are not very clear and might as well not have any. I went online to see how to use it I followed the steps one by one and it did not work. I am still trying to work it out but once I have it will be really handy to use.
However my friend who got one is using it really well so I'm either doing something wrong or it is broken. But will keep trying.

Not the magic wand I was hoping for!
I bought this in the hope that it would be like waving a magic wand for making my own ready to use bias binding. But it didn't quite live up to my expectations. Despite much fiddling the centre of the binding tends to pull in the edges so I have ended up with a crease/pleat in centre of the binding and an increasingly disappearing fold on one side. It is fixable with a bit of fiddling and ironing, but it's not as easy and fuss-free to use as I was hoping. I should add though that I haven't used it with the adhesive tape, and I do have a feeling the result would be better - ie. no folding/creasing in the centre - if I was using it. My recommendation? Buy it if you are intending to use the adhesive strip through the binding, or if you're just looking for something to make making binding a bit easier, but not if - like me - you're looking for a magic wand to take all the fiddling and fuss out of making bias binding - this is not the answer!

Poorly made
The plastic piece is off centre making the bias tape only fold on one side. Wouldn't reccomend at all

Such a saviour
Amazing little ‘doobrie’. Never again go hunting for a ‘colour match’ bias tape. So easy, just to use the material you’re sewing with, and this little saviour. I wish I’d discovered it years ago. Other sizes are also available.

Fantastic little tool
I’m so happy that I stumbled across this. Having tried to do binding without anything like this, it was really tricky. First time I used this, made a huge difference to my make! A must for sewing machine users

Does not work
Bought from local hobbycraft and could not get to work, despite following the instructions and watching various tutorials (even starched the fabric to see if that helped). Ended up buying an alternative make off Amazon and worked first time. Many reviews seem to say the same thing about it being difficult to use so assume the product must be faulty in some way.
