I'm guessing it doesn't come out of the stitching easily, either. Grrr. I have awful vision on allergy days and was hoping the tape would be easier than the walking foot bar. For some reason, I am terrible with that.
The last time I tried to use the bar, I was quilting in a chicken wire pattern, and it was so wonky and inconsistent, I finally decided that it was chicken wire after the chickens had pushed against it.
