Review on 🧵 Easy-Fix Basting Tape: Double Faced, 1/2" X 50 Yard Roll - Fast and Secure Stitching Solution by Ben Jacobson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Quickly sticks the needle; Sticks to me too

This tape is very sticky. It was sticking to my fingers making it difficult to stick to the fabric because it was sticking to me. And the glue doesn't come off easily. It held my vinyl together pretty well, but I had to start over because the needle got stuck and caused skipped stitches. I used a titanium coated Schmetz needle. And I used one piece to mark a line on my sewing machine bed before realizing how sticky it is and I can't remove the last few pieces. I've tried nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol. Most of the mucus is gone, but there's a thin layer of residue that's still sticky. I am very concerned about this. And you'd better put your pieces together the first time, because they're hard to tear, and this will remove some of the fibers if you're successful. The good news is that it glues things together really well, which is also bad news. I would like to return it, but didn't try until after the return date had passed. Never use again, waste of money.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • poorly thought out
