What Kind of Tape Do I Use?

If you’re working on a Project with a zipper or one that requires fabric to be placed on the underside of the hoop, the instructions suggest to tape it down. The question then asked by many is “What kind of tape do I use?”

Every embroiderer has their favorite type of tape! The list below has been compiled from actual comments. This long list of tapes tells us that there is no right or wrong answer to the question “What kind of tape do I use?” I recommend that you try a few and see what works best for you. I have avoided mentioning brand names as most of the tapes are marketed by several companies.

Also, here are some hints when taping:

-Use multiple pieces of tape to secure the zipper or piece of fabric -Use pieces that are long enough to secure the zipper of fabric -Tape so that it is not in the path of a stitching line
- Washi Tape
- A paper crafters tape

I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“.  Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her.  What is a Fidget Blanket?
