Do you have any tips for working with fabric glue?

Fabric glue is the perfect solution for repair jobs, hems, attaching name tags, or showing off your personality with all manner of embellishments. It can be a handy tool in your dressmaking, millinery, bag making, toy making, or any other hobby that requires fabric. Whether you are a beginner to working with fabric glue or a seasoned pro, check out our handy hints below:

• Prepare: Before you stick your glue onto the fabric, it is essential that the material is clean as a dirty or dusty fabric will not take the colour as well. It is recommended that you hand wash your fabric in cold water prior to beginning your project, which will also help to prevent any damage due to shrinkage.
• Test: When working with lighter and more delicate fabrics, there is a chance that fabric glue will not be sufficient, could result in rippling, and could potentially stain the finished piece. If possible, check your fabric glue on a piece of scrap fabric or an inconspicuous section of your project, and allow drying for 24 hours to judge the impact.
• Smooth: When you are using your fabric glue, apply a thin line and then smooth this using a small piece of plastic or cardboard. Them, attach the two pieces of fabric, before repeating the smoothing process. It is vital that you do not stretch your fabric before gluing, or throughout the process, as this could result in a messy finish.

Is there anything else I need to remember?

We always like to remind customers always to read the label and the instructions that come with the product thoroughly before use. These glues may cause an allergic reaction and may contain latex. Always ensure that your craft supplies and sewing kit are stored well out of the reach of children and pets. Finally, if you are crafting with little ones, provide full adult supervision and check the individual product for the recommended age.
