Gypsy Quilter Scrap Tape

I wish I knew about this earlier. This is great for all levels of quilters. We always have scraps. Always wonder what to do with it, but what a great way to make another quilt out of all of our scraps instead of throwing them in a landfill. Great product. Absolutely love it! Thank you very much for creating it.

It appears people think this is a binding tape. NO. If you quilt and have a lot of pieces and scraps, you can sew them on to this tape, roll it on to a LARGE OLD spool and leave it until you use it. Be sure to overlap a bit, and as described in the directions and on MANY videos, you cannot press with a STEAM iron. This is made to wash away (water soluble) once you wish to make something with it, so quilting will not be difficult, BUT it also helps you keep your pieces "in order". LOVE IT - in the past had to simply use a paper (to make sure the scraps would not stretch on the bias, but it is difficult to remove. This washes away =)

A bit of a luxury item, but for a scrapaholic like me, it's a nice splurge.

I think this is such a great way to do a scrappy quilt. I haven’t started yet, but the material looks like it will work perfectly.

Made my project easier to do.

Tons of scraps. Love putting them together on this tape.

Good in theory, but I will not buy it again. You can press your strip of scraps on the fabric side only. The scrap tape shrinks underneath when pressed so I had to cut it under every other scrap to make my strip lay flat. I'm still in the process of using this to create a quilt top and am concerned about what happens when I get to the end. I can't press my seams on the back side because the tape will melt. I will have to wash the quilt top to remove the tape before I can press my seams flat.

I have yet to sew with this product. However, I used something similar years ago. I found a few videos to watch. The look and feel of this is far superior....like a new generation. I've tried scrap piecing and even piecing and pressing each small seam, it was wavy. I love the 2.5 width too.
