3 1/2" Sasher

3 1/2" Sasher:

The 3 1/2″ Sasher™ Tool is PQW’s version of a bias maker. It allows you to quickly and easily fold bias or straight grain fabric strips in half (raw edges together) or perform a perfect bias fold using just the Sasher Tool and an iron.

Use the 3 1/2″ Sasher to make:

• Stems and vines for applique,
  
• Sashing strips for Quilt As You Go quilt making,
  
• Bias tape for Celtic or stained glass applique,
  
• Bag handles,
  
• Binding for quilts,
  
• Facings and trims for dressmaking,
  
• Cover strips for seams and bias folds in fabrics

The 3 1/2″ Sasher is a great size for making 1 3/4″ wide bag handles. Simply put a 7″ strip through the 3 1/2″ Sasher, then through the 1 3/4″ Sasher for bag handles with no turning through (add your wadding/ batting after folding)!

You will notice that the sides of the Sasher have a curved shape. This is so the curved edge of an iron can neatly fit against the Sasher as you push it along; Which means no more burnt fingers! Pauline recommends using the Mini Iron as it fits perfectly in the curve of the Sasher.

Please note – the size on the Sasher is the finished size of the folded strip. If you require a 3 1/2″ finished size, cut the fabric 7″ wide and then put it through the 3 1/2″ Sasher.
