Description
Some seams cannot take a pin. Zippers, cork, vinyl, mesh, and Soft and Stable shift the instant a pin goes through them, and that is where double-sided basting tape earns its place. This narrow 1/8 inch tape lays a low-profile strip of adhesive that holds a piece exactly where it is set, so zippers, trims, handles, and straps stay put while they are sewn. It grips fabric, paper, cork, vinyl, mesh, and foam, and the easy-peel backing makes starting each new length quick.
What's Included
This listing is for the basting tape only. The package holds two rolls, each 3mm (about 1/8 inch) wide and 10 meters long, for roughly 21.8 yards of tape in total.
How to Use It
Press the sticky side of the tape onto the first piece, running a finger along the backing paper to set it. Tear or cut it to length, then peel away the backing to expose the second sticky side. Position the second piece, finger-press to hold, and sew through for a permanent bond. The tape places zippers and fold-over elastic accurately, holds handles and straps while they are stitched, and steadies trims and appliques that would slide under a pin. It positions and holds rather than fuses, so there is no ironing, and the stitching is what makes the hold permanent.
Perfect For
- Bag and pouch makers placing zippers, vinyl, or cork that cannot be pinned
- Sewists who want fold-over elastic, binding, or trim held exactly in place before stitching
- Working with Soft and Stable or other thick layers where a pin would distort the piece
- Keeping a narrow, low-profile placement tape on hand across many projects
Why You'll Love This Tape
The narrow width is the detail that makes it useful. At 1/8 inch the strip tucks inside a seam allowance without crowding the stitch line, so the needle clears it and the tape disappears into the finished seam.
It is an extra-sticky tape, which is what lets it hold bulky, solid pieces that pins cannot reach and keep slippery materials like vinyl and laminated cork from creeping out of place. One application sets the position and the piece stays where it was put.
The tape is a placement aid rather than a no-sew bond, so it does its real work in the moment before the seam goes in. It is narrow by design, so a wide piece may want two parallel strips, and with two 10-meter rolls in the package there is plenty to go around.
