It took us all by surprise – and everyone loves the brilliant Bias Maker from Simplicity.  This fabulous little machine ticked all of the boxes – compact, affordable and most of all, very effective.  Now Simplicity has released the Deluxe Bias Tape & Piping Machine.  Still carrying all of the things we love from the original unit, but with the added benefit of automatically and effortlessly making piping.  As much as we all love using bias and piping, the job of creating it has always seemed far too hard.  Now too easy, the Deluxe Bias Maker will re-energise your creativity.

Great feedback from our FaceBook Fans!!

Thank you to Margaret (from Victoria) who found us while on her travels in sunny Queensland.  After learning we were on FaceBook, she became a ‘Fan’ and took the time to provide us some fantastic feedback after her experience in our store, these are her words posted directly onto our FaceBook page…

“This has got to be the most amazing place to stop, shop and learn, nothing is too much trouble for these amazing women!! It must be great to live locally and be able to call in regularly. I can’t sing your praises highly enough, the help you gave me when I was only visiting your corner of the world is priceless -Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou!!!”

Sandra remembers helping Margaret with choosing some fabric to finish off a quilt, and was most impressed when Margaret bought it back in a couple of days later to show off the finish product – which we believe was done while her husband was fishing!

Thanks again Margaret, we hope to see you again if your travels lead you this way in the future!
