double sided tape.
you can find it in the fabric section @ walmart.
I think there is an iron-on product that will fuse two pieces of fabric. I’ve used it to make hems. But it is not really a permanent fix.
You can get a “double sided” sticky band.
Place it between the two fabrics and iron it together.
You can get stuff at a fabric store that you iron the fabric together with.
Rivets, staple gun.
Some synthetics can be melted together with heat.
Buy double sided fusing material. You cut it to the same shape and use the iron to get the pieces together.
duct tape is the answer to your dilemma or try stapling
You can use Wonder Under , Heat N Bond or Stitch Witchery, they are iron on products available at Wal-Mart or any fabric stores.
Stitch-Witchery
It’s available at all fabric centers…..even WalMart
There is this sticky tape stuff you can use. You put it between the fabrics, and iron the outsides! I’m sorry, I’m not sure what it’s called, but if you describe this to the store clerk (or whoever) they should know!
Good luck!
hot melt glue gun very inexpenesive can purchase in kraft section at wall mart. $4-6ea
Unless you will be dong a production of 250-400 pcs a more industial one is availible called BALSTICK the heavier duty 150.00adcvise me further if any I CAN ASSIST
with a powder that you can buy at a fabric store.I can’t think of the name now,but mine was in a blue bottle.You put the powder where you want to fuse the fabrics together and then you iron over it.It holds up really well.I used it to mend holes in pants.
I saw girl cut slits intp a lg square of material and then somehow all she had to do was tie slits.looked awesome believe it or not:)
yeah double sided tape that works on fabric would be the best way to go. Its strong too
I don’t know what you’re trying to make, but double-stick hemming tape works nicely on clothing and pants.
Stitchwitchery is olk but I think Fabri-Tac (Walmart/Michaels) is better. It “Sets” faster
3m makes a spray on adhesive you can get it at most auto parts stores
use fevi quick
No action can replace sewing but meet all its purposes.
It all depends on types of fabrics you are going to fuse or stick.
Some reference are here: 1. 2. 3.
You can buy self-adhesive velcro. It works great and no sewing involved!
I scanned the answers before I decided to answer this question –
No one has mentioned acrylic gel medium- I’ve used it in artwork involving cloth and it worked rather nicely, because you are basically gluing two pieces of cloth together.
