Gluing and fusing fabric and appliqués
Glue and fusible products help wherever you don't want to sew a join or need to keep it from shifting before you sew. In this category you'll find fabric glue, hemming tapes and fusible web, spray adhesive and double-sided tapes, from brands including Prym, Gütermann and Vlieseline.
Temporary or permanent hold?
The key question when choosing: should the bond only hold until you sew, or permanently? Temporary adhesives keep fabric layers, appliqués or zippers in place so nothing shifts while you sew. Permanent fabric glues and iron-on hemming tapes join fabrics without a seam, handy for quick hems, repairs and craft projects. Whether a product is washable and which materials it suits is listed with each item.
- Fabric glue for fabric, appliqués and craft materials
- Fusible tapes and fusible web for clean edges
- Spray adhesive and double-sided tapes
- Temporary and permanent adhesives
- For clothing, decor, patchwork and DIY
Tip: Test glue and fusible web on a fabric scrap first. That shows you whether the glue bleeds through, whether the fabric tolerates the iron temperature and how the spot feels afterward.
