Aleene's Fabric Fusion Glue 4 oz, Permanent and Washable Adhesive, No-Sew Fabric Glue for Clothing, Denim, Polyester, Cotton, Flannel Materials, Dries Flexible

I see its overall rating here and elsewhere is 4 out of 5 which astounds me because I've used this hundreds (well over two hundred) of times and I can't remember when it didn't work. As far as adhesives go, fabric adhesives in general are off the chart great, and this is the best I've used. I remember when I bought my first bottle, the choice was put as between a less good formula (same brand) that dried quickly and this one that dried a little slower but was superior. This formula doesn't take even that long to dry - I believe it holds up in the wash after only 24 hours. Reasons to only give it an A+ rather than an A++ is - after you've had it awhile, you need to keep the bottle upside down because otherwise if takes forever for it to flow out and squeezing doesn't help - and, you can use too much and create a stiff or visible spot.

Aleene’s Fabric Fusion is a very convenient alternative when I need to bond fabric without pulling out a needle and thread. The glue is easy to apply and works with a useful variety of materials, including cotton, denim, polyester, and flannel. What I especially like is that it dries flexible instead of leaving the fabric with an excessively hard or stiff spot. Once dry, the bond feels secure while allowing the material to retain its natural movement. The 4-ounce bottle provides plenty for repairs, crafts, hems, patches, and other small fabric projects. Being washable after it has properly cured is another important advantage for clothing and other fabric items. Overall, this is a versatile and easy-to-use fabric adhesive that deserves a permanent spot with my household repair and craft supplies.

Not quite as good as advertised

Very strong fabric adhesive. Dries clear and flexible over night. Made car seat covers with heavy 12oz cotton canvas fabric. Used both overlapping and fold over seams. No stitching required. Product is easy to apply.

This holds nothing together.

Because I tried such a big project with this glue, I thought about giving it two stars, because it would be much more manageable for a smaller project. But I just can't. Please use fusible webbing for your fabric fusion needs! The short: This glue is messy, hard to work with, dries crusty and impossible to clean. The long: I am a reasonably experienced quilter and was intrigued by the pattern for a hexagonal quilt that my daughter-in-law asked me to make as a wedding quilt. The pattern was fairly simple--although time consuming-- and this glue was strongly recommended to attach the hexies to the base fabric. After looking at the product and watching the video, I was expecting something that would be far better than using fusible webbing that can sometimes add stiffness. Because there is a lot of fabric in this quilt and the hexies are ironed into shape rather than cut, I wanted to avoid any stiffness. The glue certainly didn't live up to its promises! I glued a sample first, just to make sure that it would work out. It seemed OK. I noticed right away that there would be two initial problems. First, it was tough to get the glue all the way to the edges of the fabric without having some squish out. I decided to solve this by using brushes to put the glue on the fabric. The second was that the glue bled through the backing fabric. Not wanting my quilt to get stuck to the table or the floor, I put the entire quilt (top, batting, and backing) on a quilting frame so that the glue wouldn't leak through. It didn't take us long to figure out that the glue was going to be a huge problem! I suppose I should have called it quits right then, but I would have had to get new backing fabric at least because there is no way of getting the glue off the fabric once it's on. In retrospect, I would have done it anyway! We had almost 400 hexies to place, so I solicited help from other members of my family and we started brushing glue on and trying to place the hexies. The brushed on glue wasn't thick enough to hold the fabric, even though we were being generous, but when we used the bottle, the glue was squishing out all over. Once it dried, it left a permanent, shiny, crusty, glue spot. In the meantime, it was getting all over the hands of anyone who touched it, so if they touched the quilt, more glue spots. We persevered and did our best over two sessions and many hand washes. Once the glue had dried, there were still many, many of the hexies that had edges that were popping up. I had originally planned to do my own machine quilting as the original pattern called for straight lines. I changed my mind about machine quilting it and decided to take it to a long-arm quilter who could easily go around each hexie, tacking the edges down. I spent another few hours gluing down the worst of the popped up hexies to make it easier for her. To our dismay, the glue was so crusty that it shredded her thread when she tried to follow the edge of the hexies, resulting in her having to use straight lines across the hexies after all. Today, I have spent a few hours on a third round of gluing to get the worst of the edges down. I have had to be extremely careful, because too much glue and it seeps out, getting everywhere, and too little and it just doesn't hold. As I'm typing this, the quilt sits under a board held down by weights in the hopes that it will help more of the glue stick. I'm thinking that I will have to do yet another round after I finally wash it. This quilt represents hours of time and hundreds of dollars at this point and I am literally in tears over the shabby quality of it due to trying to use this glue. I wish with all of my heart that I had used fusible webbing!

Best fabric glue on the market. Highly recommend it.

Aleene products really don’t need reviews is you have ever sewn, quilted or crafted!

Ce produit ne fonctionne pas - les tissus collés se sont désagrégés en une journée.

El título no es una perogrullada: he probado bastantes adhesivos textiles y ninguno soportaba un tirón. Pues éste sí. Sobre todo lo utilizo para pegar telas impresas sobre camisetas y bolsos, es decir, algo más que adornitos en una esquina. Con él tengo la seguridad de que el trabajo va a resistir el uso y los lavados. De hecho, una conocida se hace con él los bolsos, sin dar una puntada, y aguantan sin problemas, cosa que también tengo que probar. En general, si coser no te entusiasma pero quieres hacer cosas con telas, éste es tu adhesivo.

Great glue, holds fast and dries clear. Came from America so slower delivery than usual but we'll worth the wait. Use it for craft and works a treat.

Does the job really well.

Le daría un 8.5, ya que si pega la tela, pero en algunas telas como el algodón falla
