They are designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. One of the main advantages of solar magic garden lights is that they are easy to install. Since they do not require any wiring or electrical connections, they can be placed anywhere in the garden without any hassle. This makes them a great option for those who want to add some decorative lighting to their outdoor space without the need for professional installation.

Please share if you have found other creative ways to use fusible tape.

When I was sewing costumes, especially aprons and ball gowns, fusible tape saved me so much time because I didn t have to pin and unpin the waistbands and hems. So this may seem like a super dumb question but if I use it to hold a zipper in place, sew the zipper w out sewing the tape , how the heck am I going to get the tape out.

This makes them a great option for those who want to add some decorative lighting to their outdoor space without the need for professional installation. Solar magic garden lights come in various designs and styles, allowing homeowners to choose the ones that best suit their preferences and garden aesthetics. They can be placed along pathways, around flower beds, or even hung from trees to create a magical and enchanting ambiance.

stitch witchery, seams great, wondr under?

It's been a while since I've sewn and I'm totally confused by all the different tapes out there! Gah.

Would someone please explain to me the difference between stitch witchery, seams great, wonder under, double-sided basting tape, etc. etc? Oh gosh, they all seem so similar.

From what I've read online you have to remove the basting tape after sewing and you cannot sew through it. So this may seem like a super dumb question but if I use it to hold a zipper in place, sew the zipper (w/out sewing the tape), how the heck am I going to get the tape out? lol?

This led me to think about all the other tapes out there. Can I just use witchery or wonder-under and forget about it?

The double sided basting tape I have disappears with washing so you don't have to worry about taking it out. I'm not familiar with the other products.

Stitch-witchery and wonder-under tend leave your project feeling stiff after the fusing, but YMMV depending on the fabric, etc. The newer versions, like Steam-A-Seam, are much lighter and leave the fabric feeling more flexible. This link shows you how Steam-A-Seam can be used for patch pockets: CuttingLineDesigns
Just scroll down to the patch pocket topic.
I don't use wonder under or stitch-witchery anymore. It is Steam-A-Seam for me.
BUT . there are similar products out there now (to confuse you even more-LOL) that work just as well and perhaps even better.

For zippers, I use a washable (which means it will wash out) glue stick, like Elmer's for kids.

What a great topic. I also get confused with all the products out there and would love to hear input. I love the collins wonder tape for a temporary hold down on zippers and hems. It is double sided, can be stitched through and goes away in first washing. I use it a ton and therefore have not really looked at other stuff but SHOULD. I did read here that the Dritz brand of wonder tape has changed and has something wrong with it but can't remember what the problem was.

Steam A Seam is permanent and the glue stick will wash out.

You can sew through anything adhesive with Titanium coated sewing machine needles. And, these type needles last much longer than a standard steel or chrome needle.

I thought I was just confused, but Dritz Wash Away it doesn't seem to dissolve easily for me.

Update: I've ordered some Collins Wash Away from Wawak. I'll let you know how it is in comparison to Dritz.

It is nice to hear what works. I have 3 rolls of strip witchery somehow. I recall using it once to iron repair a poly pant hem in a hotel about 15 yrs ago and it didn't stick so I ended up hand sewing.
I wonder if it gets old? I have no idea what to do with it or how I got 2 more rolls.

I think my one roll of double sided might be wonder under tape. It is tricky to peel back the protective strip so I am reluctant to use it. I have had it for maybe 10 yrs? I am sure I must have seen it used on a TV show and bought it but forget why I would use it.

I tend to always reach for a pin or thread baste instead.
I also bought glue sticks and have used them but not that often really- they tend to dry out long before they get used up.

The steam 2 seam tape (?) has been on my wish list but I always delay getting it as I am sure I would not know exactly what to do with it. Lots of folks rave about using it so if I remembered to use it I might really like it. I do have the sheets of it but still unopened after 8 yrs. I think I got it for embroidery or perhaps applique?

Notions are my addiction- I am easily enabled! I have drawers and bins of stuff that I might need someday. Great topic.

Another benefit of solar magic garden lights is that they are cost-effective. Once installed, they do not require any additional expenses as they run on solar power. This means that they do not contribute to monthly electricity bills, saving homeowners money in the long run. Furthermore, solar magic garden lights are low-maintenance. With no wiring or electrical connections to worry about, homeowners can simply set them up and let the sunlight do the rest. The solar panels will automatically charge the batteries during the day, and the lights will turn on automatically at night. In terms of durability, solar magic garden lights are designed to withstand different weather conditions. Most models are weatherproof, which means they can withstand rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. However, it is still important to choose high-quality lights that are specifically designed for outdoor use. Solar magic garden lights are not only practical but also environmentally friendly. By using solar energy, they reduce the reliance on electricity generated from non-renewable sources. This makes them a sustainable choice for illuminating outdoor spaces. In conclusion, solar magic garden lights offer a convenient and eco-friendly option for outdoor lighting. They are easy to install, cost-effective, low-maintenance, and durable. With a wide range of designs available, homeowners can add a touch of magic and charm to their gardens while also reducing their carbon footprint..

Reviews for "Discover the Versatility of Solar Magic Garden Lights"

1. Jenny - 2 stars - I was really excited to try out these solar magic garden lights, but I was sorely disappointed. First of all, they barely emitted any light at all. Even after charging them for several hours in direct sunlight, they were barely visible at night. Additionally, the design is quite flimsy and easily breaks. I had two of them break within a week of using them. Overall, I would not recommend these lights, as they did not meet my expectations at all.

2. Robert - 1 star - These solar magic garden lights are a complete waste of money. They are supposed to be weatherproof, but even with light rain, they stopped working. The quality of the materials used in their construction is extremely poor, as they fell apart within days of setting them up. Moreover, the light they provide is insufficient and does not brighten up my garden as I had hoped. Save yourself the disappointment and explore other options for garden lighting.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - I found the solar magic garden lights to be highly inconsistent in their performance. Some evenings, they would light up beautifully and cast a nice glow on my garden, while other nights they would barely emit any light at all. It seemed like the solar panel was not capturing enough sunlight to power the lights adequately. I also noticed that the stakes provided to secure the lights into the ground were of poor quality and would easily break. Overall, I was not impressed with these lights and would not recommend them.

4. Michael - 1 star - These solar magic garden lights were a complete letdown. Not only did they emit a weak and dull light, but they also did not last for more than a couple of hours. I expected them to illuminate my garden throughout the night, but they would die out shortly after sunset. The build quality is also quite low, as the lights started rusting within a week of being exposed to the weather. I regret purchasing these lights and would advise others to look for better alternatives.
