Marji - or anyone
In the supply package I purchased from Marji there are two 1/4" pieces. The black is the stay tape (at least it looks like stay tape) but the white 1/4" looks as if it has shiny fusible side? What is this? Where do I use it?
Reply from Marji, who's breaking into your post to reply ;)
I included both fusible AND sew-in stay tape - use one and save the other for another project, another time.
I didn't want to have to sort out who was using fusibles to do their shaping, and who would be going the handstitching route, so I included both in the package.
Actually, I used the fusible straight tape to stabilize my in-seam pocket line.
If you have fusible stay tape and aren't using it for anything else, the pocket is a good place to put it, OR you may use a strip of fusible interfacing to stabilize that line - the fold line for the inseam pocket.
I have the posts almost ready to put up on bound buttonholes and pockets - give me til the end of the week. I've got a long work schedule this week.

Hi Susan, I'm glad you asked this because it made me go dig out my package only to find out I've cleaned up my sewing room and 'couldn't find it' !!! So, after panicking and taking a deep breath, I found it.
Here is the packing list I got with mine.
3" wide black wigan for hems
2 yd black sew-in stay tape for lapel
2 yd white fusible stay tape for lapel
1 yd white fusible 'bias' stay tape for underarm.
1 sleeve head
1 set shoulder pads
Hope this helps...I think, you 'should' have 3 pieces of 1/4", 2 white & 1 black.
Yes, I do have 3 pcs. I used all of the black yesterday on the lapel and collar. My lapel doesn't have a roll line but the collar does. I had about 1/2" left over - good measuring Marji! LOL
I'm not sure what to do with the white fusible for the lapel. I don't think I need it but guess I had better be patient before I go too far.
Thank you so much for looking and taking the time to get yours out.
