I've only just started on the corset building obsession and I have a tendancy to do things the absolute hardest way imaginable if left to my own devices. I'm sure this will save me hours of frustration.<br /><br />Masking tape can also be found under the name painter's tape and is sometimes blue. As an added bonus, the blue brand (from 3M I think) comes in different widths.Regina Cassadynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-27139043576520202242013-04-15T12:36:09.948-04:002013-04-15T12:36:09.948-04:00What a great idea.
