Method to make a double fold bias tape.
During the initial stages of the pandemic there was a shortage of elastic due to which people started making bias, tapes which were used as an alternative to the elastic on the mask.
After observing a few people stitch masks I noticed that making the bias tape (lace/string of the mask to tie it around the users head) for the mask was quite a time consuming task in the entire process which gave rise to the idea to make a product that would help by saving time and effort in stitching the bias tape and enabling the user to make and endless amount of tape in one go.
After studying different types of bias tapes I set out to design a jig for the most commonly used double fold bias tape.
