- Please note that there are different sizes of shaker tape (5/8” , 7/8″ , & 1”). We designed the class for 5/8 tape.
- 1 inch tape will go very quickly – we suggest 5/8 tape for a stronger seat
- Please have a second choice for colors…Recently a few colors have been back-ordered for a while. Choosing your colors a month or more in advance is highly recommended.
