Members Kathleen2 Posted October 27, 2015 Members Report Posted October 27, 2015 Hi, Does anyone have any experience or know if tanners bond double sided leather adhesive tape can be sewn through without gumming up your needle and machine? I have been using Wonder Tape and it works OK, it hold the leather long enough that I can get it sewn without it moving and I don't have to glue. Plus, if I ever have to do any repairs it will be much easier. I just saw the Tandy's double sided tape and it doesn't say if you can sew on a machine with it. Comes in two kinds - Tanner's Bond Adhesive Tape: contact style for permanent adhesion. Tanners Bond Repositionable Tape: repositional style for the ability to remove and reposition Thanks Quote The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return.

stelmackr Posted October 27, 2015 Report Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) This what I use on my leather with my sewing machine: http://www.wawak.com/Leather-Tape-1-4-x-60-yds also comes in 1/2". WIZ recommended it.

Members Tugadude Posted October 28, 2015 Members Report Posted October 28, 2015 I use the Tandy permanent double sided tape and love the results, but I only hand stitch, so it might be different with your machine. Love your work in the two pics. I assume it is custom made for camera bits? Quote
Members Kathleen2 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) stelmackr- thank you, the wonder tape is kind of expensive but it saves me a lot of time. This looks much more reasonably priced and perhaps it will work better. Tugadude -Thanks. No, they are knife rolls for chefs.
