045: Not using Tapes? Here's why you should!

CHANCE TO WIN a pack of Vlieseline Perfect Hem Tape!

I am always on the lookout for ways to make my garments look more professional and so any opportunity to learn about how things are done in a manufacturing environment that I can bring into my home dressmaking excites me.

This week I am delighted to welcome back the expertise of the wonderful Janet Kolle of Vlieseline to help me get genned up on the technology of tapes and how to apply them to our garments. 

In this episode we discuss 10 fabulous Vlieseline tape products that can take your finished hand made clothes to that next level of professionalism and significantly improve the life of your special makes too. 

We chat about:
> the impact of not using tapes as seen in the Great British Sewing Bee
> where tapes can be used
> which tapes are suited to which applications and fabrics
> the best products for no-sew hems
> the best tapesto extend the life of your lovely garments
> how tapes are used in clothing manufacture and how we can benefit from their research and technology
