Sounds like a plan!

Frog Tape can be found at Wal-Mart and at JoAnn's. Good luck!

I found it at my Canadaian Tire store for $13 and I think I will try either the waves or the chevrons in a border. I don't know about leaving residue on the quilt until I try it.

So since I didn't see this episode, do you lay it down and then quilt through it? Or do you quilt along side of the tape like I'm thinking would be a safe way to do it? I'm wondering about residue also. Please let us know what you come up with ok?

I am planning to quilt along the side of it and hope it will stick a few time before it has to be pinned on. Since it is fairly pricey, I will roll it around a plastic container after use for reuse if it doesn't leave any residue on my quilt.

I've used painters tape lots of times when I'm quilting but usually I can only use a piece 4-5 times before it loses it's sticky. At $15.00 for 25 yards, it will get expensive. I really like the one with scallops.

Have you ever tried temporary glue on the back of the painters tape? If it works, that could extend the lifespan of the tape. Joyce in Delaware

Smart Idea, dots of elmers might work.
