What is this yellow tape for? What can I do with it?
#1
I have no idea why I have this yellow tape in my sewing stuff, or where I got it.
What is it used for? Any ideas?
It is plastic-y, but releases easily, so it could be used on fabric to mark something, but what?

Fabric_fancy has it! Ahh, the light dawns! Of course! Thanks. I did notice that it tears lengthwise on the long lines fairly easily, so you could tear off a length of the markings you needed!

If your sewing machine throat plate does not have guidelines for various seam allowance widths use the tape by placing it to the right of the needle. There were some machines that did not have guidelines. The yellow tape with the black lines is easier to see than the lines on some throat plates. 5/8 is the standard seam allowance used in commerical patterns but some times you will find other widths used.
