Simplicity Bias Tape Machine Quilt Binding Tip 7/8" do you need a machine to use this

Hi Moira, You don't need a machine. It is very simple to create the bias. Cut a stripe of the width indicated in the instruction leaflet. Push the stripe into the clove (from the larger part) and when it exits (smaller part) you start to iron it. The bias is done.

Please have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tByXPGwvZ_I to see how a seam guide is used; think of this magnetic seam guide as corresponding to the piece of tape shown in the video. 1/5" is a very peculiar measurement. I don't know of a ruler that would show 1/5". But I figured that 1/5" is about 5 mm, so you can use a millimeter ruler to measure such a distance. On my sewing machine with the needle positioned in the center of the presser foot, 5 mm from the needle would fall under the pressure foot. So the only way I could sew a 5 mm seam would be to move the needle away from the center position, setting it so that it is 5 mm from one edge of the pressure foot. Then I could use the edge of the presser foot as the seam seam guide. So for such an odd seam allowance, this magnetic seam guide would not work unless you have a very narrow presser foot. That said, this is a wonderful seam guide for measuring seam allowances of more conventional widths.

In looking at the Amazon site, there is a bias tape machine tip for 1/2inch, 15mm equates to about 0.6 inches so I'm assuming this would be the nearest fit. That's all I can suggest, sorry I can't be more help. Sue

I can't say from quilting experience, but I don't see any reason why it can't be done. Same idea as binding. Maybe someone else has more experience with cutting such narrow strips.

Yes, you need the stamper, the round plastic application disk that comes in the Memorex label kit. Trying to adhere the labels without it would be quite difficult.

No. This machine uses a plastic coil binding that is a continuous spiral of plastic from one end to the other. You'd have to unscrew the entire length, add your new page, and then re-screw. It'll be annoying. Probably take 3 minutes every time you have to do it (not to mention wasting a new coil).

I purchased one and use it occasionally. It has a good magnet and since I have an older Viking machine, which is metal; it does hold well. Since my sewing is predominately quilting using a 1/4" seam, I use my 1/4" seam presser foot more than the seam guide.

Do you already have the machine? You won't need to buy a tamper with the machine.

You need to use a quilt hanger sleeve along the back top edge of the quilt. You leave a small section open (finished) in the middle of the sleeve. You can sew the top edge(s) of the sleeve into the top seam of the quilt along with the binding and then handsew the other edges, or just handsew all the way around. Or - You can buy a sleeve ready to use from the same company. It's a brilliant design for supporting the quilt and displaying it with no other leveling needed. Here's a good website that even has a video explaining this. http://www.hangitdangit.com/instructions.asp These are the best quilt hangers I've ever used!

Yes you can. I have the machine and the free motion foot included. Please let me know if interested. Thanks Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

it comes with just a basic sewing foot. I purchased a separate even feed got for $50 to do quilting with.

The machine comes with only very basic presser feet. I bought a universal presser foot kit in addition on Amazon and that is where my rolled hem came from. I recommend you buy a kit. Happy sewing ! I love this workhorse!!

It is used to get a 1/4 in seem in quilting. I use it all the time. Hope this helps!

This machine does not have quilting templates. It does off different stitches that are indicated on the front of the machine. My main focus for using this machine is for the embroidery portion.

The machine comes with a tamper built in. I believe it is an odd size so you should use the one built in.

If you have a low shank machine with a snap on ankle it should work. I found my work was not as good as if I used the usual two step process for sewing on binding. But I have a friend who loves hers and has spent plenty of time learning to use it.
