| I think it's time to get this puppy rolling... I keep putting it off because of the HPKCHC but I want to work on it now. |

tape the edges? what kind of material are you working on? Tape is not the best......either hem it or maybe use fray check which can wash out.....but tape leaves a nasty residue which can destroy fibers...unless you plan to cut off that part of the material once you are finished stitching (just my 2 cents worth!)
ReplyDeleteMy mama's used masking tape on the edges of the aida cloth for years. It's just barely covering a quarter of an inch to simply keep the ends from fraying. Besides, it won't ever be seen when I'm done because I will use more than that to sew the backing on it it.

ReplyDeleteThanks - it has been fun doing something different for a change!
DeleteI used to do the same thing. Then I took a class and learned how the tape residue ruins the fabric. Their point was we put so much love, time, and effort into making it....we should look at it as creating an heirloom that will outlive us!
ReplyDeleteI understand your position, but I will probably continue to just use the tape on the edges because it's fast, simple, and after 35 years of personal time doing, I've not had an issue.
