    Honestly I didn't know they had a special tape to use. I've just been using the one that goes with my sewing kit. lol

    I just use one that I got in the crafts section at Wal Mart--like people use for measuring inseams and lengths of patterns, etc.

    I use a tape measure I got from the sewing and crafts section of the store. Works just fine.

    Cheapest is just go to the nearest craft section or store. Buy a soft measuring tape for sewing. It was designed to measure on a flex. They're usually under 2 bucks. They look like this. http://www.amazon.com/6-Piece-Value-Pack-Soft-Fabric-Measures/dp/B003UXQQQG/ref=sr_1_5?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1308444840&sr=1-5

    Try a craft or sewing store, they have flexible tape measures made for taking body measurements (for sewing garments)

    any general merchandise store - wal-mart, walgreens, etc. even your grocery store may have one if they carry any notions (thread, needles, etc.

    Walmart should have it (since they have just about everything lol). You can also try a sports and fitness store. :happy:

    The tape measure that comes with a sewing kit is a body measuring tape. I've gotten my measuring tape at the Dollar Tree. I gotten my years ago and it didn't really come in a sewing kit. It came with smaller different type of measure tape.

    Now, if you are referring to this type of body tape: http://www.oneinhundred.com/Wholesale-customized-printed/Body-tape-measure.htm

    Try GNC or maybe Academy. I don't think Walmart carries this brand. I've gotten mine from Amazon with a caliber.

    Hmmm, I think I'll stick with the cloth tape. It's been working fine for seamstresses and tailors for over 100 years!

    FabOma08, stick to the tape measure that you are comfortable with.
