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
- Apply Glue: Apply a thin, even line of clothing glue to the fabric or the embellishment you wish to attach.
- Position the Fabric: Carefully position the glued piece onto the other fabric.
- 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.
