This tape stands in wherever a pin would get in your way. Lay a strip along your hem, press fabric down, sew — nothing shifts, nothing pricks, seams run straight even across slippery lining.
Concealed zips gain most: tape holds zip tape precisely in place while you creep along beside your foot. Appliqué, pockets, patch edges all behave by that same principle.
At 5 mm it stays narrow enough to hide inside a seam allowance. Keep your needle clear of adhesive where you can, otherwise it turns tacky.

Frequently asked questions
Does tape stay in fabric after washing?
It exists to hold things temporarily, never as a permanent bond. Once sewn, it lies inside your seam allowance, breaking down gradually through washing. Stitching still does all real work.
Will it gum up my needle?
Should your needle pass straight through adhesive, yes. Stick tape just beside your intended stitching line, never along it. Any residue wipes away using a cloth plus a little alcohol.
Which fabrics does it grip?
Cotton, linen, lining, satin all hold well. Heavily coated or very fluffy surfaces hold poorly, because adhesive finds little purchase. Try a scrap first; that costs about a minute.
How do I remove it?
While still freshly applied, it usually peels away. Later, gentle warmth through a pressing cloth helps. Test somewhere hidden first whenever fabric looks delicate, so nothing marks.
