The bias making machine is fantastic. Cut your strips, sew them together, and feed them through. It makes 10 yards in 50 seconds, ironing them just right. I bought the tip for quilt binding; it comes with 2 or 3 tips also. It will make double or single fold. I have been amazed at how well this works. Gotta have it!

The binding maker works well and it is the only way that I fold and press my quilt bindings now! You just need to make sure you buy the larger tip for the quilt binding. I was able to purchase both the machine and the extra tip at Joann's.

A few years ago when the battery operated bobbin machine came out I got one, and I still use it. Love it... and noticed the price on that one has gone up.

Yes, the binder I saw is electric and has some attachments you can get for it. I will definitely stay away from the rotary cutter. I just love the bobbin winder,, I can get lots of bobbins done while watching tv. Thanks everyone for the great input.
