We showed you how to cut bias strips and iron them into tape on our post How to Make Bias Tape and y'all went nuts for this new machine. So I made you a video of mine at work, which you can check out here: Bias Tape Maker Video What What! It's shocking how simple it is to use and how much time it saves!

Now it's your turn to win one! Hurry up and enter, because next week I'll be showing you how to make the bag above (with a free pattern download) using your homemade bias tape! If you just have to have a Simplicity Bias Tape Maker right now you can pick one up for only $69 on Amazon!

I would like a machine that will gently remove the GIANT spider currently living in the shed just above the lawn mower. I'm too frightened to go in there in case it drops on my head !

Jill said...: I need a dishwasher (not even a magic machine!). We have a small kitchen, small sink, small countertops and so it feels like we always have dishes piled up - either waiting to be washed or waiting to be dried and put away. I thought it was hard to keep up before my newborn daughter was born - now it feels impossible!; June 10, 2010 at 2:57 PM
Emily B said...: I am so with you on the laundry folding. I hate doing it. I think I would also like window washing simplified - cleaning glass bores me to tears!; June 10, 2010 at 3:03 PM

Anonymous said...: I would love an automatic seam ripper. Or, better, a robot to whom I could explain my latest bizarre sewing plan so that it could preemptively talk me out of doing things that will definitely come out crazy looking and need to be completely ripped out.; June 10, 2010 at 3:05 PM
Jillayne said...: I need a machine that makes my projects disappear when I can't work on them and then reappear when I have time again, in the exact same position as before. Without children messing it up or having to tiptoe around it.; June 10, 2010 at 3:06 PM
Jacinda said...: I'd like a machine to beautify my in the morning. Shower me, shave me, blowdry my hair, apply makeup and get me dressed in clean attractive clothing all before I actually have to wake up. It would be a much prettier start to the day than the reality.; June 10, 2010 at 3:15 PM
bittybambu said...: If I ever get to win any of these giveaways I'd want this to be the ONE. I love this bias tape maker, so cool!

Heathir said...: Laundry. Laundry needs to be simpler: make it dirty, take it off, put it in the hamper, carry the hamper to the basement, sort it, pretreat it, wash it, dry it, dry it again, fold it, carry it back upstairs, put it away, start again. It's just too much!; June 10, 2010 at 3:27 PM

Erin said...: I know this would spell disaster for the human race, as most sci-fi movies have predicted, but I would so take a robot to clean/be my butler. With two dogs, two cats and a toddler in a bungalow, it's an ongoing battle to keep the floors even relatively clean.; June 10, 2010 at 4:31 PM

That way you are never late (which I am notoriously) and you don't have to leave well in advance which never seems to happen either. It would also help when visiting family far away easy entry and easy retreat if needed. :)

Sarah said...: unloading the dishwasher!!! can't there be a better way? i can't wait until my little one is old enough - that'll definitely make top on her chore list!; June 10, 2010 at 7:49 PM
SunShineyRain said...: I tweet tweeted ya sweets! Now give it to mama.; June 10, 2010 at 7:50 PM
amanda said...: That machine looks great! What fun!

I could use simplification of the diaper laundry routine. In a huge, major, incredibly serious way.; June 10, 2010 at 7:59 PM
Lindsay said...: Meal planning for sure. Seems like there should be some app for your iphone for that... I should look into that. And if this machine magically cooked the dinner too and washed all the dishes afterwards, that'd be awesome.; June 10, 2010 at 8:02 PM
Lindsay said...: And I follow your blog!; June 10, 2010 at 8:02 PM
Laura said...: I don't know that the housework could really be simplified, it's just hard to keep up with it! This week the thing I wish could be simplified is the medical insurance system.; June 10, 2010 at 8:22 PM
Mellissa said...: This is so fantastic! I want one!
I would like a machine that tells me exactly the best way to organize everything in my house for ease and efficiency. We live in a tiny apartment, and it's so hard to keep things organized!; June 10, 2010 at 8:22 PM
Lara said...: Oh how I NEED this machine...
but even more than that, I need a self-cleaning house.; June 10, 2010 at 8:24 PM

Robert Kunda said...: I would love a bed time simplifier. Bath, books, song..... Why can't I just put my 14 month old straight to bed.; June 10, 2010 at 8:42 PM
Sarah said...: I need a diaper changer and washer. I really do not like washing my daughters cloth diapers. It would be great if someone would do that for me.; June 10, 2010 at 8:48 PM
Sarah said...: I am a fan on facebook and also "liked" the contest. I am really excited for this one.; June 10, 2010 at 8:49 PM
Madlenkita said...: Our house doesn't have a dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer, so I don't need any new simplifying machine, I'd be happy with those that are already around! :); June 10, 2010 at 8:55 PM
Unknown said...: If I had an assistant, a very good one like a young Martha Stewart who could even go to work with me and help me there, too (I'm a nurse) could possibly simplify my life. Just to have another younger, fresher brain in my corner, you know? I would love to have that bias tape maker machine...fingers crossed! Thank you; June 10, 2010 at 9:02 PM

Hannah said...: I would love to have a washer/dryer in my apartment. Or a robot that would do it for me. Doing a family's laundry in the basement while living on the 4th floor with no elevator is not easy!; June 10, 2010 at 9:04 PM
Amy said...: Dishes...a robot that could do dishes. I would then buy the attachments for diaper changing, laundry, grocery shopping, and cooking. Whoever invents that would be a bazillionaire!!! :); June 10, 2010 at 9:05 PM
Hannah said...: I follow your blog.; June 10, 2010 at 9:05 PM

roylancemommy said...: Totally awesome machine! I'd love a machine that would just organize everything....I feel like I need to open every cupboard and ORGANIZE, but wow that takes time I just don't have with 3 children and a husband :) Oh, we can dream right?; June 10, 2010 at 9:24 PM
Jennifer S. said...: Hi - my name if Jennifer S. ("Hi Jennifer S.") I am a follower and I need to simplify my life.
I need a contraption that can take my papers, mail, kids reports, pay stubs, etc etc and sort, file, pay, destroy, post to the fridge, respond to, etc etc as appropriate. I love getting mail but I have a big pile and it's just growing and taking over my house...; June 10, 2010 at 9:25 PM
Sarah said...: Something (or Someone, rather!) who could really simplify my life would be a Mary Poppins type nanny. Not full time, live-in help, just someone who could swoop in on her umbrella and whisk my children away to animated carousel rides in the park so I could take a nap for a few hours!; June 10, 2010 at 9:44 PM
Olivia said...: I have had my eye on this bias tape maker since you first mentioned it! I'd love to win!

I don't mind washing and folding the laundry but putting away the clothes of seven people on a daily basis is killer! I'd love Simplicity to invent a machine to make that terrible chore easier.; June 10, 2010 at 9:45 PM
Cova said...: A "work for me" machine!; June 10, 2010 at 10:21 PM

The Hobo Crafter said...: I haven't started sewing yet, but I follow your blog, have 15 of your projects saved in a 'to do' folder, and can't wait until I actually get some time to start on them!! I would love it if Simplicity made a machine that took care of all of my housework so that I'd have time to make your cute projects!; June 11, 2010 at 12:13 AM
Unknown said...: I love this bias tape maker and I would really love to have one......I do not know if that is possible, because I live in India. I have been following your blog for so long.; June 11, 2010 at 12:35 AM
caitlin said...: hi please enter me for the bias tape maker.

I'd love a magical invention called the PERFECT man. He would cook, clean, massage, and serve me lovingly and willingly without my asking! He would be good at conversation, sweet and supportive.

xoxo,
Caitlin :); June 11, 2010 at 12:35 AM
Anonymous said...: This is brilliant, Jaime! I wish there was a machine that would stand over my bolognese sauce (or whatever else I happen to be cooking) to stir it and automatically turn the heat down to save me standing over it for hours! :-) I love your blog and look forward to your posts every day :-); June 11, 2010 at 1:15 AM
Chris said...: I also hate doing the laundry, but I can support using the wash machine and the dry machine, folding is ok, too... What I really hate is ironing! So, please, Simplicity! Invent an iron machine to make me happy. :-); June 11, 2010 at 1:16 AM

make it perfect said...: AWESOME!!!! I don't like mopping the floor...would love Simplicity to invent a floor that DOESN'T get dirty!!!!!; June 11, 2010 at 2:22 AM
Kimminita said...: If there would be a button that could switch off the fact that I wake up with a song in my head every day...all day, that would simplify my life. Especially when it is the muppet tune for example. OFF. But, today it is Black Eyed Peas: I gotta feeling. That can stay on.; June 11, 2010 at 2:26 AM

Lauren said...: I would say our grocery shopping needs simplified. We are vegetarians and both of my daughters were recently diagnosed with Celiacs. In order to prepare vegetarian, gluten free meals I end up going to three different grocery store. There has to be a better way right??; June 11, 2010 at 4:39 AM
GirlHouse said...: How about self cleaning toilets!???

Krista said...: I'd like something that would make me a personal budget and give me some prudent financial planning without me having to do a thing. So it would scan my brain, my bank account, my bills, whatever, and poof, place in my hands a budget I can live with and some guidelines for making our future what we want it to be. Please? Thanks!; June 11, 2010 at 5:17 AM
LauraK said...: I would love a machine that automatically takes care of papers for me. What a wonderful machine that would be.; June 11, 2010 at 5:35 AM
Melody said...: Oooh! Love this giveaway! I'd like someone to invent a sink that IS a dishwasher...insert plate into slot and WHAM! it's washed and put away like magic! :); June 11, 2010 at 5:42 AM
Julie said...: My whole LIFE could be simplified! I could definitely use a body double... someone else to go grocery shopping and wash the floors before I go to work, someone else to rush home during my break and walk the dog (and then eat lunch in the car) and someone else to come home from 8 hours with 2-year-olds and cook dinner while I check my crafting blogs on Google Reader!; June 11, 2010 at 5:42 AM
Benjamin and Jaime said...: First time poster here. I am VERY excited to find another Jaime who spells her name the same as I do :)

I would love a machine who would clean up after I cook. I LOVE to cook and try new things which means big messes and lots of dishes. Right now my husband does alot but I would love to be able to hang out with him while the machine does the dirty work!; June 11, 2010 at 5:51 AM
Sarah @ Pink Lime said...: My Photo processing workflow, I am using so much time going through all the pictures I take. I love making my own bias tape, but I really don't line the ironing part. this would be a lovely thing to win!; June 11, 2010 at 5:52 AM
