How do you apply fabric to fabric?

Published in Fabric Adhesion 2 mins read

To apply fabric to fabric, you can use fabric glue. Here's a detailed breakdown of the process:

Using Fabric Glue

Preparation

  • Ensure both fabric pieces are clean and dry.
  • Plan the placement of the fabrics to ensure the desired outcome.

Application

  1. Apply Glue: Apply a thin, even line of clothing glue to the fabric or the embellishment you wish to attach.
  2. Position the Fabric: Carefully position the glued piece onto the other fabric.
  3. Secure the Pieces: If needed, use tape, clasps, or pins to hold the fabrics in place while the glue sets.
    • This is especially useful for larger pieces or curved edges.
    • Make sure not to apply too much pressure which could squeeze out all the glue and not allow for effective bonding.

Drying

  • Allow the glued pieces to dry for a minimum of 2 to 4 hours. This can vary based on the glue product and the environment.
  • Ensure the glue is fully set before any wear or movement of the garment.
  • Check the manufacturer's instructions on your specific product for the best drying and setting times.
