4" Sasher

4" Sasher:

The 4″ 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 4″ Sasher Tool to make:

• Stems and vines for applique,
  
• Sashing strips for Quilt As You Go quiltmaking,
  
• 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 4″ Sasher is a great size for making 2″ wide bag handles. Simply put an 8″ strip through the 4″ Sasher, then through the 2″ 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 folded width of the strip. You need to cut your fabric twice the finished size required. For example, if you want a 4″ finished size strip, cut your strip 8″ wide, and use the 4″ Sasher to fold the strip.
