Bias Tape continued

I found another bias tape maker on one of my trips to Joann's they had a limited selection in the store but have other brands and size options on their website. In store they carry the Dritz brand found in the quilting notions section.
Here's the one I got.
It definitely looks different than the one I currently have seen in this post.


I decided to try it out...
 At first my results were a bit disappointing this certainly doesn't look very even.
 But I fiddled with it a little more...
 And I'll say that it came out okay.
I definitely see room for improvement either in my patience and skills or these devices. I still really like the paper bias tape make from my earlier post. I think the reason is the extra guides after your fabric has been turned that keep it even so you can iron it down, I think I might try a combination of metal and paper guide next time I make a lot of bias tape.

Has anyone tried the Clover brand bias tape makers? I'm curious how or if they differ any from the Dritz brand Nancy Zieman has a set and a video. Her's come out so perfectly and even how does she do it?
Thanks for reading♥
