Applique! Miss Kelly - Making Bias Tape for Stems

In this video I make bias tape to use as the stems in our design. I compare the Clover brand bias tape maker to a no-name brand purchased on line. I demonstrate a simple way to make a 20 inch strip of bias tape using our mini iron. Join us as we continue to make applique pieces for our project. *** This applique quilt block was designed by Erin Russek for her quilt "My Tweets." "Miss Kelly" is the center motif for this quilt design and I will be creating this block over the next few months. You may order the pattern by visiting Erin's website: www.erinrussek.typepad.com and clicking on the Order Patterns button on the top right side. I purchased my pattern from Etsy for approximately $15.00. For reference, here are the fabrics I am using for my quilt. All were purchased at Joann and I got 1/3 yard of each fabric except for the dark purple (1 yd).
