Tape tip!

Post by nonie »

Painter's tape was just not holding for me. I know there are a lot of tips about using it but just not for me! I found this medical tape.
It is 3M and works so good! It is stickier than painters tape, yet come right off of your fabric.

Maybe everyone has found this tape and I am the last one to find it but just incase. I have started using it to mark placement, draw on it, sew and it still just pulls right off.

That makes sense. I’ve found the wider painter’s tape seems to hold better.

The facts; This is paper tape and measures 2" by 10 yards cost is 9.20 for a box of 6. I just sew right through it, when it is holding a seam open.
