This 100% cotton mesh ribbon tape is most effectively used for shaping and trimming, but other uses include gathering and edging. Many of Wendy's designs incorporate Lace Tape as well as embroidery. She loves the way Lace Tape accentuates the pastel colors of her embroidery designs and adds dimension to the designs. Wendy usually integrates it along with lace insertion, but Lace Tape can also be used as a replacement for lace.
