Questions & Answers

Are the needles and machine going to get gummed up by this?

You won't have to worry about Wonder Tape gumming up your needle with it.

Are there any applications other than sewing that this would work with? In a situation where I mask off an item and rinse in the sink, would tape wash off?

There are no situations where the tape will not dissolve in water. If you masked it off, I am not sure how well it would work.

Is it possible to clean clear vinyl fabric of the residue?

On vinyl, it wouldn't be necessary to use wonder tape. Knit fabrics benefit from this method, as the fabric will not bunch up or wobble.

After sewing, when the item is finished, does it have to be washed or does it stay in the ?

Depending on whether the item is being washed or not, it can be left in.

It is a great fabric This tool helped me install zippers, and I've been very satisfied with its performance
5/5

A small amount of sticky is just enough to hold the zipper in place without getting too sticky if you need to adjust. My normal sewing technique of keeping zippers straight when sewing is a bit difficult. When I use pins, they can pucker up the fabric or zipper a bit, so you have to fiddle with the fabric while I'm There is no need for that problem with this tape. This was especially helpful when I used it to sew a 30" zip. We would definitely recommend this product and buy it **UPDATE (1- ** There are three things to keep in mind Firstly, enter 1. Data storage - It is recommended that you store this tape in an airtight bag or other container if you do not plan to use it all at once. As a result, the tape will not dry out and lose its adherence. Multi-layer bag that holds more than just zippers A few weeks ago, I had to sew some tightly curved corners and it was hard to keep the layers from slipping, so I used a small bit of this to keep them in place, and I was pleasantly surprised with how well With the tension added, I didn't think the tape would be able to hold the layers together. This was very helpful to me! 3.
To separate the tape, follow these steps When peeling off sticky tape, it's a bit difficult to separate the layers. To solve this issue, get your fingernail to "stab" the corner a couple times. This will separate the layers allowing you to separate them.

The zippers you sew must be perfect
5/5

Zipper installation is made easier with this tape. The wavy look of your zippers results from the sewing being done before the pins were set. Pin them straight before sewing them straight because that makes sewing them straight more difficult. Simply replace that tape with this one. Designed to firmly hold the zipper in place. There is no risk of your needle clogging when you use the tape. It can be used on garments as well as on.

This product is not intended for "heavy duty" use
4/5

The tape was purchased for several sewing projects that I used heavy outdoor umbrella / duck canvas fabric curtains on my roof deck and thick multilayered upholstery fabric for an upholstery project. The layers of fabric often proved too thick to pin together, so I thought this 2-inch tape might work for those projects. Replace the double-sided tape with a tape dispenser. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Pins were hard to use on the heavy heavy duck canvas curtains when I had to sew thick outdoor zippers onto them. The zippers of the heavy duck canvas were pinned rather than pinned with this 2-step method Before sewing the zippers, use double-sided tape to hold them in place. I was unable to get the app to Fabrics requiring heavy duty tape are not adequately supported by tape.

What would you ever do without it! I am surprised at how you survived! It is a piece of fabric that will make you jump for joy if you sew stretch fabric
5/5

In this way, the seam can be temporarily stabilized, so you can stitch through the fabric the same way you would through a stable woven without using It is so easy to put in the dishwasher and to simply wash it off in the sink and iron it dry. When applied, this can leave your fingers sticky, so store it in a container when it's not in use while the package is open. As soon as the whole roll is exposed to air, it will dry out quickly. In a little plastic container, I put blue cheese crumbles that had originally been in there. The bag is just the right size for holding the whole piece of plastic from the original packaging, and saving those parts will also do wonders for keeping your rolls in good shape until you need them. Even if I keep it in the tub, I still have to scrape off a few inches to get it back to where it's sticky. I keep using it, even if it's only been 24 hours since I used it last.

I purchased Wonder Tape from a company named WashAway
3/5

It was far superior to what I had previously purchased. I might have received old information, but I didn't see any indication of that. When I bought this product in two packages, it had to go in the garbage. My fabric stuck well to the paper backing, however the paper backing did not come off when I tried to remove it. I purchased Wonder Tape from a company named WashAway. It was far superior to what I had previously purchased. The Dritz tape that I was sent may have been old, but I will not be using it.

If you don't have it, don't sew knits
5/5

The stuff I'm talking about is amazing to me. You can hem knits so much more easily with this! After I serge it, I just flip it up, stitch it, and then serge the other edge. This fabric makes a very neat and stable hem when washed, but it is not hard at all when dry.

It is much easier to sew quilts than to sew clothes
5/5

Using this tape for quilting is a great idea. Match the points of the triangles. Place the tiny piece of tape on a seam that you wish to match to another With pins, we needed to meet the seams but with this tape, the seams are lifted up and you can check to see if they meet. Hope that makes sense. Anyway, I hope I explained what I meant but no more sticking pins through to see if they meet.

You can use it while sewing to hold hems and trims
5/5

The above items help me sew and are some of the coolest I own. As a fashion designer, I often have to apply long pieces of trim to fabric. This tape is perfect for me. enables me to sew the trim firmly to the fabric, so it does not creep or stretch while I work, nor does it pucker or wander as I work. Then, I draw straight lines on the fabric with a Frixion marker or pen, lay the tape sticky side down next to the line, and burnish the paper back of the tape rather hard with a smooth tool like the handle on my scissors Sometimes it's tricky getting the sticky part of the paper to peel away Only one negative aspect of it is that. It usually takes just a pin and my fingernails to pry the sticky stuff away from the tape if I have to lift one end. When you get started, pulling the tape to one side and away from the starting point is easy. Be careful not to pull up the sticky part of your fabric, or you will lose it. My next step is to lay the trim on the exposed sticky stuff, rearrange it until it's square, and then press it with a steam iron until it is This worked well enough so that both sides of the trim could be sewed My needle does not get stuck when I use it, The bias tape or lace roll attachment is an excellent tool for applying bias tape to a long stretch.
