Quick Tip..The Wonders of Wonder Tape

in Sewing Tips & Tricks on 30/01/13

Hey sewers and crafters,

I love to find things from around the house to aid in my sewing projects. How about you??  Have you ever heard of Wonder Tape?  I recently tried it and I am now hooked!

Wonder Tape is a double sided WASH AWAY TAPE.  It adheres to your fabric like regular tape and then you can sew without your fabric, trim or item jiggling around.

The process is simple:

  1. Figure out length of tape needed
  2. Peel and stick onto the face of your fabric
  3. Peel the second side away
  4. Place item on top of stickiness  ie) sewing labels, ric rack, webbing, etc
  5. Gently finger press to secure
  6. Sew, sew away

Just think of everything you can use this for..

      Hi Brenda,

      Is your tape double sided? Double check. You can also try a small amount if fabric glue along the zipper tape edge. I even use an elmers glue stick. Run a small amount along the tape or fabric edge. Then use wonder clips on top until it dries.

    I find the scent from the car air freshners lasts about 4-5 months. Maybe longer? I now use my old ones I as pin cushions..

What do you do for self care and wellness? Do you put times into your calendar or just wing it each day? I am practicing adding time each day for a walk (or even two) and some form of relaxation.
