This guide is for sewists working with soft, elastic fabrics like jersey, aiming to achieve clean and stable seams. The Vilene Vlieseline Flexible Seam Tape - T15 offers a bi-elastic, fusible solution to prevent warping and fraying. A key benefit is the tape's ability to easily conform to curved shapes. However, it's crucial to follow the ironing instructions carefully for optimal results.

Test on a small piece of fabric first. If your fabric cannot withstand a moderate iron temperature, this tape may not be suitable.
Removing the tape can be difficult once fused. It's best to carefully lift the tape from the fabric, use a seam ripper, or use heat again and pull it away. Often it will not come off perfectly.
Yes, the tape is washable at 40 degrees Celsius and dry cleanable.
Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter for a clean edge.
It is recommended to iron the tape on the back side of the fabric, where the tape is applied.
This product does not have a specific warranty, but it is a quality product from Vilene Vlieseline.

Ensure the tape covers the entire seam allowance and that the iron was applied correctly. If the fraying is significant, consider using a wider tape.
