Pardon my correction, but if you do chose to use any type of tape labeled “masking” tape, be sure you remove it if your quilt becomes a UFO or WIP, not doing so, risks the tape adhesive degrading into the fabric and leaving a nasty, impossible to remove residue. Painters tape may be safe to leave on, but I would not, after losing a small quilt to masking tape nastiness. Just want to help avoid you learning the same lesson.
