Me too. And it is also great for holding the backing taut when sandwiching quilts and taping down a pantograph if you don't have the panto clear cover.

I have two sizes in the top drawer of my machine cabinet and use them all the time. I purchased a 24" square of clear acrylic for oversized blocks and mark the sizes with the tape. A small square with an "X" marks the center.

And where do you find this to purchase? Is it an office supply item or used for some other purpose?

Blue painter's tape is the only tape I use in my sewing room. If you leave blue painter's tape on rulers for weeks at a time you still won't have to worry about it leaving any residue. Not true with other tapes.

I use post-it notes to mark the size I am to measure/cut. I can even put messages to myself on them.

I use blue(or anycolor) painters tape for a lot of things. I use it with my longarm even to mark pantos, etc.

That is how I use it, as well. Great stuff!!
