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

This worked really well to glue patches of denim over holes in my jeans. The fabric bonds well and stays soft and flexible. I had tried Beacon Fabric Tac earlier and that glue dried stiff as cardboard. Elmer's Craft Bond also works well.

Aleene's Fabric Glue is good at fusing fabrics together really well and easy to use. It does not work on lampshades that have a plastic type backing very well unless you can somehow clamp the edges together. It works on everything that is fabric based.

I ordered the Aleene's 23473 Fabric Fusion Permanent Fabric Adhesive. I like it and it works, except it's not that strong for my purse situation which is a heavy, thick canvas with large iron on patches. A lot of the edges of the patches were starting to curl up, and I was hoping this would fix the problem versus putting a few stitches in and it worked a little bit, but most of the edges just flipped up and I have to constantly glue them again. My purse is black, and it does not dry, clear and sort of leaves a whitish residue. It may be unrealistic to think this would work since the back of those patches has a different texture than another piece of fabric, but I'm just sharing my experience.

I’ve tried a few fabric glues over the years, and this 4 oz bottle of Fabric Fusion is hands-down one of the best I’ve used. It goes on smooth, dries clear, and holds surprisingly strong — even on tricky fabrics like denim and sequins. I used it for hemming a dress and fixing a couple of costume pieces, and everything has stayed put through washing and wear. I love that it doesn’t stay super sticky once dry — it still has some flexibility so your fabric doesn’t feel stiff. The applicator tip makes it really easy to control how much glue I’m using, and a little goes a long way. Cleanup was simple too; just wipe off excess while it’s still wet. If you’re looking for a reliable fabric glue that actually works like it promises, this is it. I’ll definitely be keeping this on hand for future sewing fixes and DIY projects.

Used it to glue the fringe. Not too strong. Had to use multiple layers of glue

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!

Does what it says. I will warn you that it makes the fabric very stiff. It’s a permanent adhesion and the bottle was plenty for attaching several patches and a pocket. I still have more. Seals well.

Worked great for what I needed it for.
