My favorite Bias tape maker is the 1" maker by Clover (which ends up making 1/2" double-fold bias tape). Here are some links:

Bias tape is my all-time favorite sewing item. I use it for so many projects! And though you can buy it at the store, it's super easy to make your own, with any fabric you like. So pull up a chair and learn more! I'll walk you thru all the steps for understanding bias tape and how to make your own, in any size or fold.
