Aleene's Fabric Fusion Adheisve Fabric Tape , Peel and Stick, Permanent and Washable Fabric Glue Tape for Crafts, 5/8" Roll

This product works so well... it's easy too

Very good! Creates a great permanent bond!

This hem tape saves an enormous amount of time by allowing you to avoid having to sew hems on clothes that don't fit, or it saves a lot of money by avoiding paying for a sewing service. The tape is sticky on both sides and remarkably strong and resilient. I thought it would start detaching after a few washes, but I used it on several items of clothing and never ran into that problem. The items of clothing wore out eventually and were discarded without the hem tape ever being a problem. I did not give 5 stars because the tape is very difficult to apply properly. The folding of the clothing and the alignment of the tape have to be very precise, but the tape is so strong on both sides, that a small mistake can lead to a crease in the clothing, and then you have to start all over again. That's not easy because you then have to scrape off the tape that stuck, without damaging the clothing. So I would recommend practicing first on an old item of clothing that you intend to discard.

I purchased this to repair a small hole in a brand new t-shirt. Well I was pleasantly surprised after I read the directions and realized I didn’t have to iron it to make it work. It sticks on the fabric like a temporary tattoo sticks to your skin. Crazy awesome. The repair looked great. You can cut the page to the size you need, easy to apply and has worn nicely without coming apart. It’s a great value for the money and Im getting ready to try it on a boot that needs repairing. It’s inspiring bc I can use it on other projects!!! I recommend!!!

Some usage notes follow, as the included documentation is unfortunately not spectacular. This product is basically a strong fabric adhesive bonded to a waxed paper backing. It is not 'tape' in the traditional sense; it should rather be treated as glue delivered in tape form for convenient, clean application. This works well for attaching patches and hemming cloth, but will not bridge a tear on its own (you also need another patch of fabric to do that). I can confirm that this product works as advertised on cotton, but have not tried other fibers. To apply, unroll and cut the length of tape necessary, then press the sticky side firmly against the desired area of the fabric. Rub the tape if necessary to get it to stick. Then, peel away the waxed paper; it may look like you are threatening to peel the adhesive away as well, but the waxed paper will come loose first if the adhesive is suitably bonded to the fabric. This leaves behind a strip of translucent adhesive; press the other piece of fabric firmly against the exposed adhesive, and the two are now bonded. Once I determined the proper use of this product, it worked well for what I needed it for - quick repairs without sewing that stand up to the wash. I will definitely order more if I need it in the future.

I purchased these fabric glue pens because I have used other Aleenes glues and my Liquid Stitch was thick and goopy (10-year-old tube!) I was planning on using it on a hand embroidered purse I recently purchased to glue down some loose threads, reinforce areas that were a little loose but not coming up yet, and the underside of a flap with bells so those didn't come loose either. Most of the threads I am gluing are visible on the front of the purse. I tested this glue on the back of the purse where it is less noticeable. By the way, these pens are sturdy, large, and hold lots of glue. A little goes a long way. It is clear and comes out of the pen clear, unlike Liquid Stitch which is white and dries clear. Even with a slight squeeze, a lot come out of the pen at once and would have seriously messed up the purse. I used a bamboo skewer to apply it after testing it on a napkin. I applied it to some pink, orange, and dark green threads. It does hold well (so far), and it does dry to be flexible; however it does noticeably change the colors and is very visible. The pink it made a much deeper shade of pink. On the orange, which is in between the light shade of the pink and the dark green, it doesn't show hardly at all. I did darken the orange thread when applied but once dried looks like almost the same shade. The dark green became very shiny and now looks black. I am glad I tested it on a less conspicuous part on the purse and only in very small amounts! I will use it for mending though after testing it first to see how it affects the colors. I did use a little Liquid Stitch, too, before deciding it was just too goopy, and it can't be seen at all. I just ordered another tube of Liquid Stitch and will use that for visible projects. I can't say how long it lasts and how it holds up to a washing or repeated washings, since I haven't done that with it. I had hoped using the pens would negate the need for the bamboo skewers, but too much still comes out and very quickly.

Liked it so much immediately ordered more so I have it when I want to use it again. Price is great, delivery time very fast,too.

I used this to stick small pieces of fabric into place on something that should have been embroidered with a satin stitch. It worked great. Stays put and didn't do a bad job of laying flat. I did not have to take tranquilizers to finish sticking on these tiny appliques. The tape holds it's shape well.

Magic stuff! Super sticky. Easy to cut and peel backing off. I used this tape to repair a cat scratched sofa - I cut millimeter thin slivers of fabric tape and stuck behind each loose thread. The tape sticks so well. I was able to 'glue down' all the loose threads that were too short to stitch back in. Didn't stick to hands either! I can see so many uses for this strong adhesive. I think I will be keeping this in my sewing kit from now on.

I used this tape to hem pants. It says to not wash or dry the clothing with fabric softener/fabric sheet before you apply the tape, and this is important if you want a result that will continue to stick in the future through washing & drying. After application, you can wash/dry as usual. I've washed/dried my pants with fabric softener sheets several times since I hemmed them, and the tape is as good as ever. Permanently hemmed.

I was very happy with this product and also the fast delivery. Thank you

The tape itself is great, no issues, it does wht it's supposed to do great. The same can not be said for the seller though, useless.

tricky to use fond it very difficuly pealing the sticker.. maybe best for professionals
