I tried the blue painters tape too and it does not stick well and I always wash my fabric first with no fabric softener
I use plain old masking tape but only put it on when I am ready to actually ready to sit and quilt. I pull it off immediately after stitching and never leave it on longer than I have to. Nice straight lines, works with walking foot and makes me look good. |
I use regular masking tape. It does stick but I never leave it on over night. So I only tape what I can get done that day. Regular masking tape is cheaper and so far I have had good luck with it. Just don't use it and leave it on for days. Some of the glue on the tape could come off on your quilt if tape is left on.

First try using blue painter's tape across quilt for straight line quilting! What am I doing wrong, the tape is coming off. It is a new roll. Am I making this up - that I have seen where people use this tape to mark quilting lines? Any hints/suggestions?

i only use painter's tape to put under the line on my ruler to mark the size I want to cut a strip. Like 4" line or whatever. I never mark lines on my quilts.

I use it to get the line straight and then put some pins through it to hold it in place.
