Reddit mentions of DYMO 1741671 Embossing Tape, Red, Green and Blue, 3/8-Inch

I use BMC chisels; these lines were made with a 0.4mm one. As I guide I use a combination of things depending on the line. To start I use a small clear ruler and micron pen to sketch out the lines until I get a design I like. Then I use one of the following methods depending on the surface and length:

• for long lines that need to be at specific angles I'll make sure to mark two points with the marker and then place dymo labeling tape to guarentee I have a straight line. Then over that I put the actual guide which is dymo embossing tape.. Then I scribe. An example of this is the moderate and long vertical lines on the shield. I started with the 4 short diagonal lines which gave me the two points on each side to base the vertical lines on. Each side then used a single set of dymo tapes so that they would align with each other (the lower and higher lines).
  
  
• for moderate lines at easier angles (i.e. right angels) I'll use just the dymo embossing tape over making a line with the marker.
  
  
• for short lines (<4mm) I'll free hand it.
  
  
• for lines around edges which I want to be symmetrical I'll do use a combination of the labeling and embossing tape. The embossing tape can't really round edges because it's too thick, but the labeling tape is too thin to really guide the scribe well. So I use the labeling tape to wrap around the part, guaranteeing the angle. Then I use a single piece of embossing per side of the angled surface. If I need to I'll do the little bit of the corner left using the scribed lines on either side to guide me, so mostly free handed because it'll be such a small surface.
