No More Basting or Pinning

7/28/2010 9:01:00 AM

Here is a tip about basting and pinning. I heard about a product called Wash Away Wonder Tape. Just adhere and you're ready to sew!

It is a double-sided transparent tape that can be stitched through, will not gum up your needle and completely disappears in first washing. The next time you go to pin something, you will find yourself asking "Can I just tape it?"

Wash Away Wonder Tape also works well with trims, hems, when layering, etc. This does seem to do best when used on shorter pieces of fabric rather than with long seams. Give it a try and see what you think.

Keep Designing,

OMG - if that glow really works it will save so many unfinished items I just didn't have time to "pin"!

Thank you for this tip!

That is a fabulous quilt! Your hubby is bound to love it to picees!I just quilted a top for my mom to take to chemo with her we stretched the backing and taped it down, spread the batting on top and smoothed it all out, then laid the top down and smoothed it, making sure there weren't any puckers, etc. We put in lots of pins, and then I machine quilted it (SITD), but there are still little puckers on the back, and I have no idea how to prevent them. I use a walking foot for all the stitching once it's layered, so I have no clue how to keep the backing pucker-free. Any suggestions?
