I use painter's tape. So far it hasn't left a residue.

I didn't have a problem with tape on my fabric, but was interested in the solution and the link was GREAT. Loved all the ideas. Thanks for posting.

I attended a raw edge applique class about 4 years ago. Worked on and completed 12 blocks - 10 X 16 - quite labor intensive. I laid out the blocks in the sequence I needed for the quilt and put a small piece of masking tape with numbers in corner of each block to keep them in order. Got distracted, put the project away in the UFO box. Yesterday I got it out to finally finish up. When I took off the masking tape, it left a residue on the blocks. HELP! Does anyone have any suggestions for removing this residue? Shrinkage won't be a problem because I pre-shrink ALL the fabric I use. All suggestions for removing the residue will be appreciated!

I just wanted to say that I didn't read your post because the size and style of the font, along with the closeness of the spacing, made it hard to read comfortably. You might want to reconsider using this one in the future for those of us who are sensitive to issues like these, but want to read and help.

I always keep a can of "Energine Spot Remover" (cleaning fluid) in my cupboard with my cleaning supplies. It takes goo off of a lot of things. I put a wash cloth on the back and use the cleaning fluid on the front. So far it has worked. It's an old product so might be hard to find.

I did that to mark a line on my machine. NEVER AGAIN!!! II got the residue off with rubbing alcohol. I now use painters tape if I have to use tape

And aren't you creating the same potential problem with your post-it notes?
Painter's tape is the same yes ... though from what I have always understood, the adhesive is adhesiveand considerably safer to use on fabric, than masking tape. |
Try a little ammonia in a well ventilated area. Just put a little on a Q-Tip or cotton ball, then rinse. You can try it on a sample piece of fabric as well. WD-40 is another to try on a small area. Goo Be Gone works well but may leave a bit of oil residue. If that happens use a little Dawn dishwashing liquid right after.

@CKCowl ... do you think Painters Tape is as safe as we are led to believe?

I would probably just snowball the corners.
