I dont know what u call those things........ err earlier i read abt this 'thing' that will stick onto emb. threads to prevent it from scratching skin etc. What is this called? Which brand is good? How does it works? (heat?)

Then I read abt wonder tape? or i dont know what... its to tape the embroidery thread and prevent them from coming loose. what is this? Any good brand or only 1 brand in the market? value for $?

Thanks!

i think you mean fusible interfacing, iron it on the back of the design to protect skin from being iritated and to keep threads from pulling out...

I had a bad expeience with Wonder tape. It stuck to my thread and I had to pull off many yards of thread to get to a clean spot.

GET HUGO's Amazing Tape. You will not only use it for thread but many other things. It sticks to itself and NOT like Saran Wrap that is hard to handle. Hugo's is easy to handle and works great and is reusable.

I, too, use Hugo's tape & it's great. I have both sizes. Highly recommend it. There is a fusiable knit like interfacing that can be ironed on to protect skin from the design back. Works. I would think any of the brands will do. If it starts to come loose, I've just re ironed it!
