I would put the tape roll on the opposite side ( outside edge of needle) so I would be sewing from left to right without fighting the tape twisting. Such a beautiful creation !
An easy way to let the tape stay stationary and still roll easily, I use a stand up paper towel holder, the base is heavy enough to keep it wherever you need it. Works great for me. This is a great way to do mindless sewing using scraps. It is surprising how quick the quilt comes together.
Beautiful quilt project!!! Colors are very bright and cheery. Loving the easy way it went together with the scrap tape. I believe that I might be using this "new to me" accessory. Thanks for sharing!
fantastic! Using scrap tape and a 2 and inch roll is the answer to my multiple boxes of scraps the are taking up a huge amount space in my sewing room. Thank you!
I couldn’t find this in my area so I used adding machine tape, with a smaller stitch so the paper will be easy to remove. Of course, the tape will be easier and I will get some on line for my next quilt.
Love this idea. If you wanted to use even more scraps do each row in different color ways instead of using a solid row, For instance I could see doing a rainbow quilt or red, white, and blue strips. Since you are doing multiple scrappy rows, I think I'd also be chain piecing intead of breaking thread so often.
I already cut my small scraps to 2.5" so no need for the tape, but I like this idea for using up the scraps, mixing them with solid jelly roll strips. 🙂
I’m not a newbie to patchwork and quilting but if I was I’d know exactly what to do because you explained every step so clearly. Brilliant idea for using those scraps up 😊
Great idea for using scraps or quilt pieces. I like this idea for making quilts, it's easy to do and uses your scraps up. I'm definitely going to make some quilts using this technique. Even though I have a lot of yardage I still can cut the pieces that I want and apply it to the scrap tape. Thanks for sharing this video.
This is awesome Wish I could start my quilt right now We’re having a snowy day with a lot of electricity out all over the state but we’re still good Going to get my tape ordered right now Thanks for giving us your time❤️❤️
Would look neat to start with a square center & make bigger & bigger squares around it . Until it's the size you want . Also those scrappy strips would make a great border around a quilt.
@@sewcharmingquiltshop you are right but, if you are like me you have some paper tape in the scrap bin. Do you know if your tape is available in Canada?
I cut out paper strips and make them shorter and chain stitch the scraps on them and then connect them all together. It's fun to make! Thanks for the video!
So it's a dark, rainy morning here right now (there goes the thunder again!!!), and I just discovered this video about five minutes ago. Good time to watch it! I do like making these scrappy strip quilts; I've not tried it this way, with the solid strips in between the scrappy strips. And I've never heard of the scrap tape! I've just used either very thin fabric as my backing, or adding machine tape and then tear it off. I like this idea, but I'd have to remind myself NOT to use the steam on my iron. I literally ALWAYS have it turned on! LOL
I’ve used adding machine tape in the past. That works fine too. This way you don’t have to rip off the paper though. Both work good. Even the fabric. 😁
❤ok have to this, hate to throw anything away! You could have done piano keys scrappy, of course. Have to find the tape and your small iron and the iron plate!!! I'm always not sitting my iron up!!! Obviously its heat resistance!!
Love the iron! www.sewcharmingquiltshop.com/iishop?form_version=2&search_keyword=Oliso&image=Search Tape: www.sewcharmingquiltshop.com/iishop?form_version=2&search_keyword=Scrap+tape&image=Search
I love this idea. What size quilt did you make? How many rolls of tape and jelly rolls did you use making this quilt? I would love to do this and use up my scraps. Thank you for showing us how to do this. Amazing!
Question please? Is the scrap tape an adhesive as well. I love the idea of this product. I have used the same technique with adding machine paper; but then you have to tear all the paper off to finish b e cause as we know, paper is not water soluble 🥴
It’s not adhesive. It will dissolve in water. It’s much easier and quicker to use than adding machine tape. Although both work, you don’t have to take the time to remove the scrap tape as it goes away on its own.
If you wanted adhesive wash away, you could make your own- look for adhesive wash away stabilizer. Very commonly used in machine embroidery . It will be pricey. It comes about 15 inches wide and 10 yards long.
I have a newbie question. Would it be possible if you already have scraps cut to 2.5” strips to just sew those pieces together without using the scrap tape?
I would sew about 6 strip sets together, measure the width of that, s/b 12.5". Sub cut the long length into 12.5" blocks. Sew together like a scrappy rail fence.
This would be interesting as a jelly rool race use left over your 2.5 strips. There are so many ideas. They are tour scraps. Jreat idea. You are so sweet I love to watch you.
I love the idea of the scrappy and solid white, question what’s the purpose of that 2 1/2 inch gypsy stuff I don’t know 🤔 do you really need it can you do it without it, ld like to know please
I would be so frustrated with fighting that tape, the project would end up in the trash can!!! I do scrap/crumb blocks all the time, but I'm not sure I see a purpose or benefit to using the tape. 🤷🏼♀️
