Questions & Answers

Can you tell me what the difference between the lite and the ultra of this product is? Is it perhaps the fabric or the bond strength that differs?

There are two types of Lite sew-on and sew-off This type of adhesive is made without sewing. There is no difference in strength between the two since both adhesives

Could this be useful for keeping a ribbed knit button down shirt from gaping at the chest? (I'd rather not use ?

The gap may be caused by a variety of factors. The shirt would probably work, but it would be a pullover prior to a button down instead. the material does pull apart after you wear it, you can always use an iron to remove it completely and apply new material.

Do you know if this will stick ?

We recommend pretesting the Soft Stretch Ultra with nylon because it hasn't been tested with

Do you think you can put your clothes in the dryer after this procedure is completed?

The only thing I can say is that I have not had any issues with washing and drying After applying this product, there seems to be some drying, but I would think that it may also be related to what material it was applied to. Thank you. I hope you find this helpful.

An additional bonus is it works great on maxi dresses that are too long
5/5

When I needed to shorten a maxi dress, this product came in very handy. You only need an iron - peel off one side, stick it to the wall - and it's ready to go Take the other side off and use a hot iron to adhere it. It is done. I also like that it doesn't come undone when it's washed.

It works perfectly
5/5

If you want moisture, you need to use it. The people who complain about these things tend not to follow the instructions they're given. It holds up well and is easy to apply, but you will need to use something to help transfer heat from the cloth through the fabric effectively. Oil is added to a skillet, just like when you fry food. To get the heat to the adhesive, you need something to conduct it. In this case, the steam does it. The only way to get it to work without steam is by using steam. I experimented with it a bit and it did not come close. Although there may be some fabrics it won't work with, I'm sure there are many others. They have not been found, however. This fabric was used to make my uniforms while I was in the military. Not a stitch has ever been sewn. What ever was ironed on to a uniform, whether it was pants, patches or whatever. I never encountered a problem with some of those hems, which lasted a couple decades before being ceremonially destroyed upon My wife's pants had been hemmed for work, so I used this specific hemmer. It seems to work as expected. It is certainly easier to sew than.

The interface is user-friendly
5/5

My favorite is the second one. It is impossible for me to find the right length for leggings, so I used them to hem them.

I found it to be very useful
5/5

The stuff you guys make is fantastic! The mermaid skirt I made for Halloween looked amazing and I used it to make it. Due to my inexperience with sewing, all I used was this to hold it together and it held together all night and it is still holding together yesterday.

I highly recommend this product! As you can see, the roll is much larger than the display photo, so that's fantastic
5/5

My expectation was met! I got exactly what I wanted! The buttons on the chest of my ribbed knit sweater gap between each other. I used this to permanently seal the gaps in my shirt, which is very annoying but I love it! Being able to move with the fabric and that it's soft makes the shirt look very natural, as if it were meant to be that way. This is much better than trying to use safety pins or double sided tape that never sticks! The product is easy to use and apply and it took only a few minutes to use! In my quest to seal up all my shirts, I will be on a mission!.

You should master the techniques to make this work amazingly well
5/5

Denim looks good on all skin tones! This roll of tape is awesome, especially since I was not expecting such a large amount of tape. As of now, I've mostly used it to hold down hems that tend to lift or fold, especially on jeans with denim legs that Denim doesn't seem to bother me in the least, so I'm not sure what's going on. It seems that the instructions are straightforward and technically these are easy to use. However, I needed to experiment with technique to get the application just My swimsuit turned out just fine with this, though I had to be more careful when using My iron takes at least a minute while pressing the steam button consistently to adhere all the adhesive to the material , then after I see the shiny rectangle on the fabric, I fold over the leg fabric I want to stick down and then it takes at least another two minutes to iron the other side Generally, I use about 2 to 3 pieces of an inch each for every Once the jeans are finished, I flip them over and iron the area where the fold is. This has helped when I am trying to stick a fold on a sticker denim. It isn't until I have completed all of this that I test the adhesion. The only piece on the garments I've applied has lifted so far after washing, and only one of the many pieces has been attached successfully.

I've never seen a worse product! There is no way for this product to work! I've used this kind of adhesive before and, for the most part, it is easy to apply
3/5

This adhesive does not bond the material at all, which I find to be an issue for the project I'm doing. Any decent adhesive will work, as I don't need super strong adhesion on this project. It doesn't work at all and it seems like it must be a joke product. In order to ensure I did not buy the wrong product, I double checked both the product and the directions. In order to be certain it isn't my hand, I tried it on several different materials. I don't think it is, this stuff does not work at all for its intended purpose. I also don't think it would work on any fabric project at all. You'll have to throw it all out and buy a new one!.

Knits can be sewn with this machine
5/5

Knits must be sewn on with this tool. It is useful when sewing hems to prevent them from shifting.
