We've tried a lot of seamstick, and this is the best for the price. Super sticky. This double-sided tape is an indispensable tool for holding fabric together while being sewn. Adheres well to Sunbrella and most types of sail material. Approximately 60 yards per roll. Available in 1/4", 3/8" and 3/4".

Use 1/4" for zippers and vinyl, 3/4" for overlapped seams on Sunbrella and canvas and 3/8" for everything else!

This 3/8 inch seam stick (basting tape) sure does a great job on canvas, along with anything else you want or need to put it on.

The Real Deal!

Jun 7, 2021 | By Jose V

Austin, TX United States

This is an exellent product! Before ordering this Seamstick and up to the point I actually used it on a number projects, I had serious concerns about whether or not it be strong enough to hold the types of fabrics I intended to use on. 2 to 5oz leathers, canvas, ballistic fabrics, I was pleasantly surprised! This is the stuff you want! This is the real deal! Thanks guys!

Tried making a swing canopy and this was my first time working with seamstick. What a lifesaver! Made sewing it much easier and held everything in place great. Was worried my needle would gum up but it didn't affect the sewing at all. Would definitely use this product again for other sewing projects.

Shipped both items in same box even though they were ordered on the weekend two days apart. What made it even sweeter was they put in a piece of candy.

Purchased the double sided tape for gluing the panels of my model sailboat sails. It seems to work well. I have not been using it long enough to assess it's long term durability tho. The produce was shipped promptly, and arrived in good shape. Excellent service.

Fabulous transaction!

Jun 10, 2016 | By Ruth Gilstrap

Paw Paw, MI United States

I purchased the SeamStick not for anything sail related. I am a custom handbag maker and use a lot of a similar product. The other product is pricey and only comes in small quantities. I purchased the 60 yd roll of 1/4" and it works perfectly at a significant lower cost. Shipping was super quick too! I'll be back for more for sure!

Seam stick has many uses

Apr 13, 2016 | By Janet

scituate, MA United States

I started using Seamstick several years ago for a marine canvas project. Now I use it for all kinds of sewing both home decor and clothing. It really holds fabric in place while being sewn. It's great for creating no sew piping and for basting zippers in place.

Seamstick that sticks

Dec 30, 2015 | By Neil

Dighton, MA United States

This seamstick will stick and stay on anything. I have used other seamsticks purchased elsewhere and they have disappointed, especially when used on Sunbrella, duck cloth or regular canvas. But this product works on all heavy fabrics. I would be cautious, however, using it on light fabrics as the needle can get gummed up rather quickly.

Using SEAM STICK

Sep 25, 2015 | By J

San Jose, AL United States

Highly recommended! Saves a lot of time and reduces (eliminates) misalignment while stitching large heavy fabrics. Wonderful stuff! Allows pre-assembly fabric for test fitting and sewing. Especially great for contoured seams and holding alignment with heavy slippery fabrics like marine canvas.

Feb 22, 2015 | By Louise

Englewood, CO United States

I placed an order for some seam tape in January. For some reason it never made it to my mailbox (I live in a multi unit condo). It is only my guess that the mail carrier put the envelope into the wrong box and the person who got my package decided to keep it or toss in the trash. When I contacted Sailmaker's Supply (Jean) I explained what happened, and that I will just place another order. Jean did something I NEVER heard of before... send me another roll to my work address..... at NO additional charge. You can bet that I WILL be placing more orders with this company, and I will be sure to tell ALL my quilting friends about such awesome service they can/will get. THANK YOU again Jean. Louise

Owner Response: Thank you, Louise!

I love this stuff. I use it for so many projects, not just marine items. You can sew over it, and it doesn't gum up the needle. I have tried to find it at other sites with no luck. Thanks a bunch!

Additional Info

Seamstick is a double-sided seaming tape with acrylic based adhesive on a Mylar carrier.

We sell seamstick in 1/4", 3/8", and 3/4" widths. It comes on rolls with about 60 yards per roll. The width we use most in our canvas shop is 3/8".

Seamstick is a great tool for holding any kind of fabric in place while sewing. It sticks exceptionally well to vinyl, such as Weblon Regatta, so when we're sticking vinyl to vinyl, we use 1/4". If you stick it in the wrong place, use "Goo Gone" to remove any excess adhesive residue from the vinyl.

To sew an overlapped seam, apply a line of 3/4" seamstick to the salvage edge of one of the panels. Stick the second panel to the first using the inside edge of the seamstick as a guide for an even 3/4" seam. Sew along the edge of the top panel, flip the panels over and sew on the edge of the other panel.

Seamstick is essential for sewing sails. For seams in sailcloth, apply 3/8" seamstick in the seam allowance of the lower panel and stick the next panel to it. Use it to hold patches, luff tape, webbing, etc., in place for sewing.

Use 1/4" seamstick to hold zippers in place while sewing.

I can't imagine making an enclosure panel or replacing clear vinyl window material in a dodger or enclosure without seamstick. Use it to stick the fabric to the clear vinyl, or the new vinyl to the old panel. (When replacing clear vinyl, stick and sew the new glass on first, then cut the old out so you keep the original shape.)

Use seamstick to stick vinyl laminate cloth to the inside of hatch covers, dodgers, etc., as a reinforcement for fasteners and to finish the edge.

When applying, be careful not to stretch the seamstick. This can cause the fabric to pucker when the seamstick relaxes. It's easier to apply the tape if you first pin the fabric out on the table.

I have noticed in working with Sunbrella®, that seamstick tends to not want to stick to new fabric. It sticks better to Sunbrella® that has been on the shelf for a while. I imagine it has to do with the water repellent treatment.

If the tape isn't holding as well as you'd like, press it down with a hard metal object, such as the handle of a pair of shears. You can use an iron, but note that Sunbrella's® warranty is void if heat is applied. Use only a cool iron on Sunbrella®.

If you have been struggling to hold your fabric together while you're sewing, give our seamstick a try. I'm sure you'll find it as indispensable as I do!
