1/2 inch Quilters Masking Tape
#1
I use 1/2 quilters masking tape when hand quilting and have spent the past couple of days trying to buy some rolls without any luck at all. I am so frustrated as I use it almost every day and thought when this roll ran out I would get another one without any problems.
I have been told by numerous quilt shops they don't stock it anymore as 'nobody hand quilts anymore' ! I have tried hardware stores, paint stores, auto parts stores and no luck - they have 3/4 inch and upwards.
Can anyone tell me where I can purchase rolls of the 1/2 inch quilters masking tape (3M 2214 brand if possible) from anywhere in Australia or the US online.
Or am I the only one who uses the tape now ???

I use painters tape. If I want a smaller size--1/2 inch and only have 1 inch tape for example I simply put it over 2 rows and stitch away. It doesnt leave any residue and can be reused for several rows before the sticky goes away. I cross-hatched a whole quilt that way.
