Review: Phenomenal - Great product, works well! Use it on my daughters practice cheer bows so they don’t flop and it’s awesome. Really only one bow needed more than one coat. Pro tip for everyone complaining about dry time: use a hair dryer. If doing a cheer bow, use your fingers to hold the loops open while you dry. Took me like 15 minutes to fully do 6 bows.
Review: Easy to use and works great - I used this fabric stiffener for some macrame crafts, and it worked beautifully! The spray makes it really easy to apply evenly, and it dries quickly without leaving any sticky residue. It’s nontoxic, which is always a plus, and my pieces held their shape perfectly once dry. I’m really happy with how professional my finished projects look thanks to this product — definitely a must-have for anyone doing similar crafts!

## Features

- POUR-ON APPLICATION FOR FULL FABRIC SATURATION: Liquid formula is designed to be poured, dipped, or brushed onto fabric for complete saturation and even stiffening. Ideal for shaping and draping projects that require hands-on control.
- ADJUSTABLE HOLD WITH FAST DRY TIME: Dries clear in approximately 1 hour depending on fabric type and humidity. Formula can be thinned with water for softer hold or layered for increased stiffness. Final stiffness may vary by application.
- DRIES CLEAR & MAINTAINS FABRIC APPEARANCE: Clear-drying formula preserves the original color and look of fabrics while holding shapes in place. Suitable for bows, lace, ribbons, cheesecloth, trims, and decorative craft fabrics. Always test before full use.
- WASHABLE & RE-SHAPABLE FINISH: Washes out with warm water, allowing projects to be reshaped or reused. Designed for temporary fabric stiffening and draping rather than permanent hold.
- IMPORTANT USE GUIDANCE: Fully saturate fabric by dipping or pouring, then squeeze out excess liquid before shaping. Allow fabric to air dry completely before handling. Protect work surfaces and wear gloves during use. Humidity and fabric thickness may affect dry time and stiffness.
- Nontoxic formula is safe and easy to use.
- While considered permanent, humidity may affect dry time and stiffness.
- Available in an 8oz bottle

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Im looking to stiffin my crochet sun hat... is it true like the review says that its doesnt dry clear?**
A: It drys clear as long as you don't over do it. You would have to try it so you can see if you like the look. I would recommend buying a small bottle first I am not sure about yarn but material works fine.

**Q: Weird question, but would this work to stiffen up a nearly empty toilet paper roll with a square of paper hanging down from the roll?**
A: I'm sure it will, but you would have to be careful in applying the product.  Try to hold the roll vertical with the tissue hanging down and then hang it to dry by using a dowel fastened by a vice of some sort so the top part of the roll is horizontal.  I love this product and have used it with paper before.

**Q: What is the difference between this product and Aleene's Stiffen Quik?**
A: The first and obvious difference between the two products is the application method. Aleene's Fabric Stiffener & Draping Liquid is a soaking application and Stiffen Quik is applied with a spray pump. The second difference is that Aleene's Fabric Stiffener & Draping Liquid contains two polymers (two glues) and Aleene's Stiffen Quik contains one polymer (one glue). Stiffen Quik penetrates into fabric or other porous surfaces better than Fabric Stiffener. But ounce for ounce Fabric Stiffener provides more stiffening power.

**Q: We would like to use this outdoors.  Is it fairly waterproof?**
A: This item is not waterproof, and will wash off with water alone. We only recommend this on indoor non washable projects. If you have any further inquiries, please contact iLoveToCreate at info@ilovetocreate.com or call 1-800-438-6226.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Crafting Those Viral Cheesecloth Ghosts!
*by M***. on September 3, 2025*

I used this fabric stiffener to make the trending cheesecloth ghosts, and it worked like a charm! The liquid was easy to apply and dried with a nice firm hold that kept the ghost shapes upright and spooky. It didn’t leave any sticky residue and gave the fabric a clean, crisp finish. The bottle goes a long way, and cleanup was super easy. If you're doing Halloween crafts or any fabric shaping projects, this is a must-have. Loved the results!
