The Wondertape works great BUT, that company makes a craft tape that at a
glance looks exactly like the package of WonderTape. The package, size,
colors, everything is the same except for one little word. Check carefully!
On an emergency run to TSWLTH I grabbed what I thought was the sewing stuff
and got the craft stuff instead.......not only did it gum up my needle, but
gooied up my bobbin shuttle AND it turns into a gummy mess if you should
happen to iron or get it wet...I tried to wash it out and it just got worse
by the minute.....All the stuff sewing tape shouldn't do. Just a heads up
hoping I save somebody else some grief. If you should happen to make this
mistake just email me, I came up with such impressive creative additions to
my vocabulary that my son stuck his head into my sewing room and suggested I
take up golfing since I had about 75% of the game skills conquered!
