You know the old saying: before you sew, you should baste! We don't know if that's really an old saying, but it probably ought to be. Basting Tape gives you a clean, simple way to hold leather, fabric, zipper tape, and other project layers together while you sew, lace, or assemble them.

This clear double-sided tape uses acrylic adhesive on a thin Mylar film and is intended to remain permanently inside the finished project. It helps keep seams, folded edges, linings, zipper tape, and layered pieces from shifting while you work, without reaching for pins or dealing with wet glue.

It's handy for both machine sewing and hand stitching, especially when accurate alignment matters. Use it for wallets, bags, cases, zipper installations, folded edges, linings, and other projects where you need the pieces to stay put while the stitching goes in.

To use, apply the tape where you want the pieces joined, cut it to length, press it firmly into place, remove the protective backing, and position the second piece. Once everything is lined up, press the layers together and you're ready to sew or lace.

Each roll contains 50 yards, giving you plenty to keep around the shop for assembly work without having to mix glue or wait for adhesive to dry.

Please Note: This tape is intended to remain permanently inside the finished project. Test on delicate, heavily oiled, waxed, or unusual finishes before use, as adhesion can vary depending on the surface.
