109046Totally agree...do not waste your money on the plastic bias bars...ask me how I know...they were less expensive than the metal ones...well not so much when you then have to go buy the metal ones!!!!

27356These bias bars are for making stems or the stained glass look for example. You stitch the bias strip wrong sides together then slide the seam to the flat side of the bar where you then iron it. Slide out the bar and you didn't have to turn the tiny tube. You can buy them as small as 1/4 inch (60cm)

Thank you - never too old to learn! I have never seen these in South Africa and will be looking out to hear from the other SA Cuties as to whether they know of them. Sounds like a useful commodity.

21044Hi Jenne, I'm the first to read your thread and am intrigued. I often make my own bias binding, though not necessarily for quilting, but do not have any knowledge of 'bias bars'. Are they something different to the gadget also used in making biasbinding but where one inserts a slanted end of the material and then systimstically pulls it through?
