corsetty goodness

Quilt binding tape appears to make acceptable stay case tape. It's wide enough for the 1/2" stays that I prefer. This saves me a lot of time and burned fingers from cutting and pressing my own stay cases. I think I have a fighting chance of finishing my next corset within ten days despite a visit from the Nibsmother next week. Yeah, I know there's stay case tape that's made out of twill, but it isn't as widely available as quilt binding tape and I've never needed the extra strength in the past.

The ends will poke out sooner using the quilting tape - voice of experience, as I used to use it in my bodices. I've started using two layers of duck cloth for lining, and just sewing boning channels in.
