A little bit better. Regular beige masking tape has more gum on it and can leave the gum behind on your fabric, wall, machine, etc. The painters tape won't leave any gum behind. I think it sticks longer too - especially in heat and humidity.
I put tiny pieces on the bottom of my ruler to keep it from sliding around.
I also roll up a little piece and stick it to the backside of a block and tack it to the wall to photograph or to use as a makeshift display wall (because my display wall always has something on it!).
I use tiny pieces to mark pieces of fabric ... for example if I cut a bunch of equalateral triangles I want to know which side has the length of grain. After I cut a stack I'll stick a piece of tape on the side that has the length.
I tack down paper to my cutting board to make tracings on my golden threads paper.
