I bought this Dritz Quilting Washaway Wonder Tape, 1/4 by 25-Yard to help with a bushcraft pack I made. I have three little daughters who I like to take camping, but since they’re all still young, I have to carry the gear for them in addition to my own. It’s hard to find an ultralight, high-load pack with enough capacity for that sort of thing, so I designed and made my own. I’m not very experienced at sewing, but after making a few small test bags, I started making the real deal. To help things along, I ordered this tape and instantly the quality of my sewing improved considerably.The double-sided tape keeps the fabric from shifting, allowing me to concentrate on making even stitches. It is so thin, it doesn’t seem to interfere with the needle and thread. It just does its job and holds the fabric pieces in place. It is especially helpful when you have several pieces of fabric all coming together, such as the corners of a pack, plus a pocket, plus webbing loops all overlapping together in a single seam.The only downside here is that the tape doesn’t always stick as well as I would like, but I won’t deduct a star because I think it’s about right (If it were stickier, it would hold the fabric more securely, perhaps, but it would likely also snag the needle or thread and create problems). When sewing fabric like nylon Cordura, the tape also sticks noticeably better to the “wrong” (PU coated) side than to the brighter/shinier “right” side of the fabric.If you’re a novice sewer, or you are sewing complex items made from multiple layers of fabric (such as a pack), I really recommend this tape. It lives up to its “Wonder Tape” name.
