New tip~paper tape

I just wanted to share a tip that I've learned the last couple of days. Since I've started my HAED~ Libra, no Internet to start a sal but I've been taking pics to share when I finally get working Internet :?, I've tries parking for the first time, and enjoy it minus the threads hanging down and getting tangled in my stitches. So I thought to myself that I needed tape, not scotch tape, not any really sticky tape, because that it would just ruin the fabric and threads. I found paper tape. It's sticky enough to stick to the fabric, but doesn't leave any residue on the fabric or threads. Just on the q-snaps. I found this magical tape in a first aid kit and have been looking for a bigger roll since. Once you pull of the tape, you have to use a new piece, since it doesn't stick very well after one use.

Not thought of doing that - I just use hair clips or pin them down with a spare needle! I use a frame with a stand so it makes parking a bit easier.

Interesting tip, I might try that!

Amanda, what sort of hair clips do you use?

Thank you! I'll get some of those, as I have a lot of unruly parked threads at the moment.
