Review on 🧵 Basting Tape Rolls - Double Faced, 3/8" x 50 Yards: A Convenient Sewing Essential by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well for French Seams

I used it for French Seams on a vinyl seat cover. It worked really well for holding the reinforcement tape and keeping some tricky stitching in place. I haven't had much of a problem with glue sticking to the needle, but I did have to wipe it off with alcohol a few times. The only complaint I have is that I taped everything but didn't sew it up right away. I went back the next day and everything was loose and needed re-gluing. No big deal as the tape was still pretty tacky and held back with some pressure.

Pros
  • Melt Tape and Hem Tape
Cons
  • unreliable
