This is truly a time saving product. No more hemming pants. I have washed my jeans several times and the hem is still holding. Repairs are fast, easy and permanent.
I used this to hem a bridesmaid dress. It worked great!
This tape is great for hemming too-long slacks, and too-long shirtsleeves (since manufacturers make relatively few 3/4 length, I must make my own). I find it better than the predecessor product, iron-on tape. Should it fail, it's always possible to hand-stitch at the point of failure, though so far that has not been necessary.
Used this stuff to hem 12 curtain panels. Worked great, would purchase again.
Used this to hem the sleeves of a leotard that were too long. It worked very well and is more than sticky enough to hold the fabric. One issue I had is I could not for the life of me get my fingernail in to peel off the paper backing. I had to get my roommate to help me, and it took her a while as well. When you use it, you may want to have a buddy to help you lay out the fabric and apply the tape where you want it. It is VERY sticky and it's easy to have it stick somewhere you don't intend, or stick to itself if you are not careful. But in the end it did what I needed, so I'm satisfied with it.

I used this tape to hem heavy 96 inch curtains. I have to admit I let the tape sit on the counter for a few days because I was afraid it wasn't going to turn out very well but to my surprise it did a fabulous job and I didn't have to drag out my iron or even ask anyone for help. I did a total of 6 curtain panels and used 2 rolls of tape. The material is very sticky but the first curtain I did when I went to pull the backing off of the tape the tape started coming up as well so I learned quickly to rub over the backing by firmly pressing it down to ensure it sticks before pulling off your backing. I just used the scissor handles and rubbed it back and forth until I felt like the sticky side had time to adhere to my fabric. I am going to order some more of this tape to keep on hand!
This stuff sticks! It's very easy to tear so you can tear a piece off an hem a pair of pants within seconds. It's a little tricky to peel apart the tape on the clothes and cover for the tape, but once you do the pants will sure stay hemmed for a while! I will say if you don't fully cover the tape with clothes, it will stick to anything/everything. It's very strong. But, I can't call that a fault!
This tape works really well! I used it to make a Halloween costume since I don’t have a sewing machine. I was impressed that I could actually make seams with it. The only difficulty I had was that I kept getting the gluey part on me. The tape was hard for a non-dextrous person like me to handle but the results were great. It really works and once you iron it, it fuses really well.
I can't believe how strong this is. I basically use it instead of glue. It's easier to use than glue and a lot less messy. It says for fabric, but I've used it for other things as well. You should just by a couple rolls of this to have around for those times when you need to stick things together or repair something.
Let me say upfront that I'm not a seamstress but a dude who wanted a quick way to hem some short pants. I don't sew well. So, for you first timers, here are a few tips for hemming pants: 1) as a first step, measure the hem carefully, then fold it over and IRON it in place; 2) turn legs inside out, place tape inside hem, affix tape to pant leg and peel back tape backing; 3) carefully affix hem fold-over portion to tape and IRON again.
