Fabric Fusion Glue 8 fl oz, Permanent and Washable Adhesive, No-Sew Fabric Glue for Clothing, Denim, Polyester, Cotton, Flannel Materials, Dries Flexible

The glue is especially popular for: Quick clothing repairs Hemming pants or curtains Attaching patches and embellishments Fabric crafts and DIY projects Costume work and light upholstery fixes Some versions also include a precision needle-nose tip, which helps with detailed projects and reduces mess during application. On the downside, results can depend heavily on the type of fabric used. Community reviews note that it tends to perform best on heavier fabrics like denim or cotton, while thinner or silky polyester fabrics may show glue marks or feel stiff in certain areas. Drying time is another consideration. The original formula may require up to 24–48 hours for full cure strength, though Aleene’s also sells a quicker-drying version that cures faster.

product don't hold up in a wash

Giving it a 4 because it does not hold very good on yarn. Not sure how it works on anything else. But I bought to use on yarn and it does not hold. Used glue and pins to pin everything in place and waited 48 house and items were still pealing up.

Glue works so well that you can put together multiple layers of cloth and holds weight. I use it for armor experiments where I test out new ideas. Just glue what you need to and walk away so it can dry or you can just leave it overnight.

Because I tried such a big project with this glue, I thought about giving it two stars, because it would be much more manageable for a smaller project. But I just can't. Please use fusible webbing for your fabric fusion needs! The short: This glue is messy, hard to work with, dries crusty and impossible to clean. The long: I am a reasonably experienced quilter and was intrigued by the pattern for a hexagonal quilt that my daughter-in-law asked me to make as a wedding quilt. The pattern was fairly simple--although time consuming-- and this glue was strongly recommended to attach the hexies to the base fabric. After looking at the product and watching the video, I was expecting something that would be far better than using fusible webbing that can sometimes add stiffness. Because there is a lot of fabric in this quilt and the hexies are ironed into shape rather than cut, I wanted to avoid any stiffness. The glue certainly didn't live up to its promises! I glued a sample first, just to make sure that it would work out. It seemed OK. I noticed right away that there would be two initial problems. First, it was tough to get the glue all the way to the edges of the fabric without having some squish out. I decided to solve this by using brushes to put the glue on the fabric. The second was that the glue bled through the backing fabric. Not wanting my quilt to get stuck to the table or the floor, I put the entire quilt (top, batting, and backing) on a quilting frame so that the glue wouldn't leak through. It didn't take us long to figure out that the glue was going to be a huge problem! I suppose I should have called it quits right then, but I would have had to get new backing fabric at least because there is no way of getting the glue off the fabric once it's on. In retrospect, I would have done it anyway! We had almost 400 hexies to place, so I solicited help from other members of my family and we started brushing glue on and trying to place the hexies. The brushed on glue wasn't thick enough to hold the fabric, even though we were being generous, but when we used the bottle, the glue was squishing out all over. Once it dried, it left a permanent, shiny, crusty, glue spot. In the meantime, it was getting all over the hands of anyone who touched it, so if they touched the quilt, more glue spots. We persevered and did our best over two sessions and many hand washes. Once the glue had dried, there were still many, many of the hexies that had edges that were popping up. I had originally planned to do my own machine quilting as the original pattern called for straight lines. I changed my mind about machine quilting it and decided to take it to a long-arm quilter who could easily go around each hexie, tacking the edges down. I spent another few hours gluing down the worst of the popped up hexies to make it easier for her. To our dismay, the glue was so crusty that it shredded her thread when she tried to follow the edge of the hexies, resulting in her having to use straight lines across the hexies after all. Today, I have spent a few hours on a third round of gluing to get the worst of the edges down. I have had to be extremely careful, because too much glue and it seeps out, getting everywhere, and too little and it just doesn't hold. As I'm typing this, the quilt sits under a board held down by weights in the hopes that it will help more of the glue stick. I'm thinking that I will have to do yet another round after I finally wash it. This quilt represents hours of time and hundreds of dollars at this point and I am literally in tears over the shabby quality of it due to trying to use this glue. I wish with all of my heart that I had used fusible webbing!

This holds nothing together.

I’ve tried a few fabric glues over the years, and this 4 oz bottle of Fabric Fusion is hands-down one of the best I’ve used. It goes on smooth, dries clear, and holds surprisingly strong — even on tricky fabrics like denim and sequins. I used it for hemming a dress and fixing a couple of costume pieces, and everything has stayed put through washing and wear. I love that it doesn’t stay super sticky once dry — it still has some flexibility so your fabric doesn’t feel stiff. The applicator tip makes it really easy to control how much glue I’m using, and a little goes a long way. Cleanup was simple too; just wipe off excess while it’s still wet. If you’re looking for a reliable fabric glue that actually works like it promises, this is it. I’ll definitely be keeping this on hand for future sewing fixes and DIY projects.

This product arrived swiftly and on time. As a textile artist, I have used this glue often . Unable to find it locally I ordered it here. I was able to quickly complete my task and have full satisfaction that the fabric was secure. The glue dries clear. From experience I know that if I needed to change something, I could open the glued seam carefully and adjust it. This glue is thick and works on wood, plastic, and felt. It can be used for hems. seams. applique, and trims, to name a few. The size of the bottle is sufficient for many uses before ordering again. Aleene's Fabric Fusion Glue is a GREAT help in the creative or repair process! I highly recommend this product be in your creative or repair arsenal.

Ce produit ne fonctionne pas - les tissus collés se sont désagrégés en une journée.

El título no es una perogrullada: he probado bastantes adhesivos textiles y ninguno soportaba un tirón. Pues éste sí. Sobre todo lo utilizo para pegar telas impresas sobre camisetas y bolsos, es decir, algo más que adornitos en una esquina. Con él tengo la seguridad de que el trabajo va a resistir el uso y los lavados. De hecho, una conocida se hace con él los bolsos, sin dar una puntada, y aguantan sin problemas, cosa que también tengo que probar. En general, si coser no te entusiasma pero quieres hacer cosas con telas, éste es tu adhesivo.

Great glue, holds fast and dries clear. Came from America so slower delivery than usual but we'll worth the wait. Use it for craft and works a treat.

Easy to apply and appear to be quite sturdy after sticking the parts back.

Does the job really well.
