    Thank you all! It must have been to hold the thread ends. I'll try it.

    I use it to fasten a gauze pad over a larger wound. But I like the idea of sticking a piece on cut quilt pieces and writing on it. Going to have to try that.

    Can't speak for the paper tape ... but painter's tape works well for this purpose!

    Well it worked great to mark the 45 degree angle stitching line on the chenille wall hanging I'm starting! I layed it along my long ruler and also pinned it in a few places, since I need to fold it up before I stitch. Taking it with me for the weekend get-away. I hope it doesn't leave a residue though.

    Or if you are allergic to bandages and the substances on them you use paper tape and gauze. Always have it in the house and now have some more uses for it.

    I like this idea, too. Now I have 3 quilting uses for it!
