(Have a girl, but my sister's having a boy in a few weeks.) I have a question about snap tape - it always seems to pull at one edge, as though I'm asking it to go further along one side than the other (and, if applying it to a curve at the center crotch, I suppose I am). Not a problem with fabric much heavier than the snap tape (such as denim), but with lightweight cottons it's been enough of an issue for me to toss out one romper and decide to just apply sewn-on lightweight snaps for another after removing the snap tape. Do you have any tips for applying heavy-weight snap tape to light-weight fabric?

While you do have to wait for the glue to dry, once it's dry, nothing moves. The water soluble glue is wonderful for these types of applications. I always hated putting those snaps in, but they are certainly needed for the toddlers.

For my boys it was easier to stuff their legs in and pull them up than to try to snap those things on a wiggly one!! That is a good tip for snap tape, if I were still sewing, I would be using it!!Arlene Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845514896764280013noreply@blogger.com
