Boriqua Posted April 12, 2018 Report Posted April 12, 2018 No the stops have 4 sharp prongs on the back side. You just push them down over the last teeth where you want the stop through the fabric and I just bend the prongs down with the side of a screwdriver. You dont need a ton of ribbon after if at all so cut where you need it to end and just pull out a few teeth by prying them off. They are also basically press fit. If you leave alot of ribbon and its at a curve or turn it tends to bunch and create an unsightly gap. Since you installed the stop you can get away with just a mall amount of ribbon. Quote

There isn't actually tape or fibers in it. So, it's very thin when applied. I don't think it works as well as cement, but it will hold long enough to stitch a line. A problem I have found with using double sided tape is that if you end up stitching through it then you can gum up your needles Quote
Members WilburLeather Posted April 13, 2018 Author Members Report Posted April 13, 2018 Yeah, the process did gum up the needles, so what I did was I used denatured alcohol to clean it off every few minutes. That should solve your problem Quote
