You can buy the little bias tools at JA's, they'll be on the notions wall. It's pretty easy to do, just cut your strips on the bias to the size it says on the package. Then I iron them & run them through the gizmo--as it comes out folded from the other end I starch & iron again to keep it from unfolding. Be careful not to touch the iron to the tool, it'll heat up and burn your hand, LOL (ask me how I know).

I always use these directions and then run it through the bias tape maker.
