    I suppose it's good, but for years I have just used a wide zigzag stitch and it works just fine. ( More money left to spend on fabric

    a piece of leftover fabric and a few yards of zigzagging is a whole lot cheaper.

    Dear Dina - I love the tape but $8 is high-end. I got it for $6.40 at "Today's Quilting" an on-line quilt store. However, I have seen it cheaper since, I just can't remember where. Perhaps a google search will bring up the best price.
    Good Luck - Judy

    Someone sent me some batting as a donation that was put together using that tape. It fused the batting together nicely. Seems like you could do the same with strips of lightweight fusable interfacing, that would be less expensive.

    I bought it at a local quilt show a few months back but have not had the chance to use it yet but I only paid $6.00 for it. Same yardage

    I love it!. It works well and is a time saver when you don't have to sew the pieces together.

    I have used fusible interfacing for years. Works great.

    I like it - but some places are cheaper - check Keepsake, I think they are offering it at 5.99

    I just got my first roll and LOVE it! I have zig-zagged batting pieces together, but this is a lot easier. Worth the money for me! (But I will be looking for it on sale, coupons, etc.)
