1/4 inch Quilter's Tape

I like the removable tape on the roll. It's wider but I just move it over 1/4 at a time. It doesn't leave any residue at all. Also I found a whole box of Steri Strips, at a yard sale for .25. They are 1/4 wide. I use them for small blocks or spaces. They are probably available at the pharmacy.

I tried for an hour and couldn't get the tape off. Finally took a wet cloth and rubbed and rubbed till I got most of it off. Thank goodness it is on the inside of a border. I sent an e-mail to Dritz as they have no phone number listed.
Collins company was very nice but had no answers!

When you unroll your painters/masking tape check to see how sticky it is. If it seems too sticky put it on your slacks, the fabric of your sofa or chair, or whatever fabric is handy and it will pick up enough really fine lint to make it less sticky and it will come off without any problem.
