You sew it down along both edges, then pull the string. I used a pleating tape once, thinking it would make cartridge pleating a skirt easier. It was easier in a way, but the obvious bulk of the tape made the whole thing rather unattractive to my eye so I never used such tapes again for skirts. YMMV
Kimiko ________________________________ From: Laurie Taylor <[email protected]> It is about 7/8" wide, with a single cord about 1/4" from one edge. When pulled, the cord forms a consistent gather, not any sort of pleat or smocked effect. Does anyone use shirring tape in costuming? If so, how? _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
