Creative Ways That Tape Can Help Quilt-Making
| February 2, 2025 | Quilting How-To
And One Warning!
Tape can be a huge help in quilt-making. Painter’s tape and masking tape are sticky enough to stay put on fabric but don’t leave residues or cause the fabric to pill.
While you may already be aware of using tape to mark quilting and sewing lines, there are several other uses that may be new to you.
Wendy Chow from The Weekend Quilter outlines four ways tape can help your sewing routine in the following article.
- Get more ideas for using tape in the sewing room here.
- Learn more about using tape to mark quilting lines here.
- Learn how to use tape and a ruler to create straight lines when free-motion quilting here.
- Get a pack of 1/4″, 1/2″, and 3/4″ wide painters tape here.
Warning: Do not leave tape on fabric for an extended period, such as when labeling yardage on stored fabric. Over time, the glue can leech into the fabric and discolor it.
