I did see that the Guthrie Ghana blog used tape when making the knit Coco dress - she used this one http://www.guthrie-ghani.co.uk/shop/haberdashery/interfacings-and-adhesives/seam-tape-interfacing-10m-10mm/ and snipped it on the curves. It's out of stock now though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-35604254555142474442014-03-10T12:11:58.852+00:002014-03-10T12:11:58.852+00:00OK, so that seems kind of obvious!

On episode 3 of the Great British Sewing Bee, they all seemed to find it quite straightforward - even those who had never used one before, so I take courage from that! I will let you know how I get on.

Jo (Sew Little Time) confirmed that Wundaweb(hemming tape) is just glue, whereas Stitch Witchery is fusible stay tape. I have ordered the Stitch Witchery now, so once it arrives, i might do a compare and contrast between the two!
