Having a bit of a crisis and need some fabric glue QUICKLY
There seem to be quite a few brands/types out there. I'm near a big hobbycraft and they have an own-brand one on their site for 2.79...
Washing, etc, doesn't matter. It only needs to last a couple of hours and doesn't need to be removable.
Does anyone have any experience with any of the different brands? How long do they normally take to dry?
I have an iron if that'll speed it up...

I've never actually needed to use a proper branded fabric glue before because these work just fine Last edited by Angel Tear (13 Mar 2012 - 16:54) |

I'm going to hit Hobbycraft tomorrow to see what they have. I've taken a look and there seems to be something that works in a similar way to the glue on 'iron on' patches. |

And also depending on what you're doing, you could use wonder web |

I also need to attach a bit of lace to the underside of the skirt. Oh, and some iron-on tape hasn't ironed on properly, but it's not the sort of stuff that can be sewn either The wonderweb might work quite well, thank you |

I shall let you know only if it FAILS to hold! Thanks |
