This stuff is WONDERFUL. Make sure the package you get says "Wash Away
Wonder Tape." There are some other products out there that are called
nearly the same name, but nowhere near as good a product. This stuff won't
gum up machine needles and eventually dissolves as you wash the garment.
You will find a lot of uses for it. I use it for zippers (even invisible
zippers.) I also use it for anything that I need to hold steady. Patch
pockets, trouser hooks, bias binding if it's really giving me a fit, etc.
It's great stuff.
You can usually find it at Hancock's. If you can't find it locally, let me
know and I will find you an online source.
