    That's what I have. It comes is several colors, in case you need more than one measurement.
    Me too. I don't know what I would do without it.

    Yes, there is a roll in my basket by each machine. I don't use as much as you do. Just an inch or so to remind me where my lines are. Especially helpful on the square up rulers.

    I'll have to look for these. I use the blue painters tape now, but I do sometimes have more than one measurement. Thanks for the info. :)

    Me too! Only, I think I got mine as a gift. I love it because there is no residue and it is easy to move when needed.

    Nope, you are not alone, I use painters tape for most everything that needs a temporary fix.

    I use white packing tape but think I may go to painter's tape or look for the neon stickers. Thank you for that info.
