New tool, at least to me
I'm using a template shaped as an arc and it slips ever so slightly
when I cut around it. I decided to go to Wally World and get some Scotch Tape because everything else I've tried didn't work,you know the little sand paper dots, etc. I was looking at the tape and thinking it would be nice if scotch tape was double sided. Darned if I didn't find. There is a permanent kind for mounting pictures and a temporary kind. I got the temporary. I came home and tried it. Just enough hold to keep the template from moving.

I'm glad you got the difficulty sorted this time, Kate; but, if you run
out of double-sides Scotch tape, the home remedy that I have seen 'bandied about', but not on here for a while, is: paint small areas of nail polish (clear would be best obviously!), and before they dry - work quickly, then - sprinkle the patches with salt. ..

Oh for goodness sake, Kate. I wish you'd let Yogi and me know that you were
having troubles. He can turn squeaky clean glass into a gummy sticky surface with his cute little black nose in just a jiffy. Polly "Patti" wrote in message ...

I like the Nexcare clear first aid tape from 3M for that purpose. It's
clear so you can see through it and has enough texture to help grip your fabric. Julia in MN Kate T. wrote: I'm using a template shaped as an arc and it slips ever so slightly when I cut around it.

Hey Polly:
Well I didn't think of Yogi, darn. That pup is so loveable I'd forget all about quilting and just want to play with him. Humm, that gives me an idea, maybe I can get Traveler, my tom cat, to run his nose on the template to make it sticky. He's left enough nose prints on my kitchen window that I have to wash it once a week. Kate T. South Mississippi |

Thank you! I've heard a tip like this before but never knew a brand to
look for. It's now on my grocery list. Kay Ahr in Reno/Sparks, Nevada - - - - - Julia in MN wrote: I like the Nexcare clear first aid tape from 3M for that purpose. It's clear so you can see through it and has enough texture to help grip your fabric. Julia in MN |

you cab use a needle gripper under the template to keep it from sticking -
no mess ever :-) Sharon in sultry Montreal "Julia in MN" wrote in message ... I like the Nexcare clear first aid tape from 3M for that purpose.
