What are the Benefits of Basting Tape?

Basting tape is a really helpful tool for sewers because it’s easier than pinning fabric pieces together, especially when working on large assemblies. Since it’s just peel and stick, it’s really easy to adjust if you make a mistake, too. Basting your fabric in place also helps to ensure that your fabric feeds evenly into the sewing machine. Basting tape also helps reduce puckering when sewing and helps make seams water resistant.
