What do you use paper tape for?
I ordered some paper tape and now don't remember how I wanted to use it.
I'm sure it was on this forum that I read how someone uses it. It was probably the thread about "Stuff you Use for Quilting, that isn't originally for Quilting!!!" but there are 47 pages!
Perhaps someone can shorten my search! Thanks!

Paper as in adding machine rolls?
It was one of the first articles I saw on Quilting Board and it intrigued me.
I don't get what the 'reciept' is for when making string quilts
I was able to use it twice last year. Once in my round robin project where I made little ribbons, and one in the Bonnie Hunter mystery where I made bigger pieces.

Just watched a video where they were using the paper tape to stabilize the rulers for cutting. Seems like it would work well. It may leave some residue on the ruler if you leave it on long enough. At least it does when used on other stuff. Works fairly well on skin. Wish I had read this before I bought the "official" ruler stuff as that was expensive...
