CLD 3mm Double Sided Tape
Sometimes the fiddliest part of bag making is getting everything to stay where you want it before you stitch. CLD 3mm double sided tape gives you a narrow adhesive strip for lining up zipper tape and small components, holding folded sections and preparing details without pins.
Chris has used the 3mm tape for years. It is one of our popular sewing helpers, with great feedback from customers and an affordable price that makes it easy to keep a roll in your toolkit.
Why You’ll Love It
- Narrow 3mm width: Useful for small components and areas where a wider tape would take up too much room.
- Strong adhesive hold: Helps keep layers aligned while you prepare to sew.
- Easy tear-and-peel backing: Makes applying a small piece straightforward.
- No pin holes: Holds pieces in position without piercing your material, particularly useful with vinyl faux leather.
- 20m roll: Plenty of tape for the small positioning jobs that come up throughout a project.
Useful for Bag Making
- Aligning zipper tape along pocket and pouch openings before stitching.
- Holding card slot backing pieces in place during assembly.
- Positioning fold over elastic around an edge.
- Holding folded handle and strap sections together before securing them.
- Keeping small overlays and project details aligned while you work.
Use with fabric, vinyl faux leather, leather, mesh, foam and paper. Adhesion can vary with the material and its surface, so try a small piece on an offcut before starting.
How to Use
- Check the position of your pieces and the stitching line before applying the tape.
- Apply the required length to one surface and press it down.
- Peel away the backing paper, align the second piece and press the layers together.
- Secure your project using the stitching or attachment method specified by your pattern.
Where your project allows, position the tape beside the stitching line to minimise needle contact with the adhesive. Test your setup on scraps first. The tape helps with positioning; it does not replace the final stitching or hardware attachment.
Helpful Tip from Chris
Start with a small amount of tape and check the alignment before pressing the layers firmly together. The narrow width is especially useful when there is only a little room beside your stitching line.
Choose the Width for Your Project
The 3mm × 20m roll is useful for narrow edges and small details. For a wider area of contact, we also have 6mm × 50m Double Sided Tape and 12mm × 50m Double Sided Tape.
