My sister was given a bag of items including thread and crochet stuff. In the bag was this roll of some sort of tape. It is shiny on both sides giving the impression that it may be to iron one item to another. It 3 3/4 inches wide, and as you can see there is a lot of it. She would like to use it but does not know what it is for. There are no numbers or markings of any kind on the tube.

Do you have any ideas?

I would see if it would fuse two pieces of fabric and then wash to see how it held up. I haven't seen a roll of fusible that wide before but it could be from an upholstery drapery shop.

It does look like an interfacing of some type for upholstery/drapery projects.

looks a bit like the stuff to join carpets with

Looks like it may be for the headers on drapes. Makes them stiff as well so you can make pleats and insert hooks. Just my thought.

Try ironing a piece and see how it goes. It kind of looks like dry wall tape to me? Is it stiff or pliable, fabric or plastic?

It looks like a tape I once used on drapery fabric.

My thought also.

It is fairly pliable, but thicker than anything I've ever used for machine applique. It feels as though it may be some sort of plastic.

It looks like a tape for a drapery header to me.
