Shaped tape for quilting
Just found this shaped painters tape. Comes in chevron, scallop and wave. I though it could be cool to follow along for a quilting pattern. Expensive though. http://www.amazon.com/FrogTape-28254.../dp/B00EUTMDQ6

I used the wave for a tablerunner. I followed the tape easy and precisely with my walking foot. No measuring or marking is worth the few dollars for the tape. It wasn't that expensive at Walmart anyway.

I use rolls of fax paper. I have a 6 ft table I roll out and tape it to the ends and start tracing. Depending on the design I can get any where's from 2 to 6 across and now with the spray adhesives it makes it easier to place on the quilt. I find these rolls just about every time I go to the 2nd hand stores. I can get a lot of rolls of paper for the price of 1 roll of frog tape.

A friend had me use a roll of paper to mark my quilt top. After securing the paper enough so it doesn't move, tracing, wrestling the paper on the quilt top and then removing the paper is not something I would ever do again. I found the Frog tape, straight or shaped, simply easy with no hassles.

For those that haven't used the shape tape, it has release paper split down the middle. I use one side until it loses it's staying power then will use the other side. Using on side stayed on a baby quilt while I quilted. I still have one side of sticky not used.
