Deb ~ I am also a rubber stamper (besides quilting and knitting), so I've worked with double stick tape. 3M puts out two kinds of double stick tape: Permanent and temporary bond. Which are you using? I was thinking temporary bond, but now I'm wondering if it works the same on fabric as it does on paper? Maybe the temporary bond isn't strong enough to hold fabric?
