CAN YOU SEW THROUGH BASTING TAPE?
NOTE: Other lighter basting tapes are available that disappear or are lighter that may not gum up. the trick is NOT to put the tape directly where you are sewing, therefore using a thinner tape in width.
**We recommend a Thread Lubricant to help keep your needle clean.
If you're sewing with basting tape, you've probably wondered whether it's safe to sew directly through the tape. This is a Strong Vinyl/Leather Basting Tape has a very aggressive adhesive, so it may gum up your needle when sewn through. The tape sides may also be visible depending on a seam’s placement.
It’s best to avoid sewing through basting tapes whenever possible by placing the tape just below where you’re going to stitch. For best results, choose a basting tape that’s slightly narrower than your seam allowance to leave just enough room for your seam. If you decide to sew through basting tape, many sewers find it helpful to clean the needle frequently with rubbing alcohol. You might also find it helpful to coat the needle with a lubricant to help prevent gum buildup—
