Aleene's Fabric Fusion Adheisve Fabric Tape , Peel and Stick, Permanent and Washable Fabric Glue Tape for Crafts, 5/8" Roll

This product works so well... it's easy too

Very good! Creates a great permanent bond!

This hem tape saves an enormous amount of time by allowing you to avoid having to sew hems on clothes that don't fit, or it saves a lot of money by avoiding paying for a sewing service. The tape is sticky on both sides and remarkably strong and resilient. I thought it would start detaching after a few washes, but I used it on several items of clothing and never ran into that problem. The items of clothing wore out eventually and were discarded without the hem tape ever being a problem. I did not give 5 stars because the tape is very difficult to apply properly. The folding of the clothing and the alignment of the tape have to be very precise, but the tape is so strong on both sides, that a small mistake can lead to a crease in the clothing, and then you have to start all over again. That's not easy because you then have to scrape off the tape that stuck, without damaging the clothing. So I would recommend practicing first on an old item of clothing that you intend to discard.

I purchased this to repair a small hole in a brand new t-shirt. Well I was pleasantly surprised after I read the directions and realized I didn’t have to iron it to make it work. It sticks on the fabric like a temporary tattoo sticks to your skin. Crazy awesome. The repair looked great. You can cut the page to the size you need, easy to apply and has worn nicely without coming apart. It’s a great value for the money and Im getting ready to try it on a boot that needs repairing. It’s inspiring bc I can use it on other projects!!! I recommend!!!

Works but you can tell you've used it

I'm making a cosplay costume for someone, made entirely out of a stretch synthetic leather. Even though the package says it is not for stretch synthetics, it held an appliqué of the same fabric onto it. I used the tape and trimmed it to shape (with the backing paper on after I adhered it to the back edges of the appliqué. Yes, you do lose stretch, but that didn't matter for me. The bond seems strong. I would not sew over it, as it is fairly thick and would certainly gum up your needle, if you could get through it at all. In regards to some of the other reviews, I would not use this (or any fusible or glue) in lieu of sewing - gluing seams with anything is asking for trouble. I would use this type of application only for a craft or costume, not for garments or something that will be washed very often. Gluing is second to sewing, only in circumstances where it doesn't matter. I cringe at glued hems and the like, because it is shoddy work and will NOT last. If you can't sew a simple seam or hem, please find someone who does, or better yet, learn! Sewing is indeed a life skill. I am very happy with the results of this products intended purpose.

Works like a miricle! I swear by this product!

Super sticky tape. Easy to apply, holds well. Easy to remove/reposition without damage to the fabric. Love that you can use the exact size you need without waste like with pre- cut tapes.

Magic stuff! Super sticky. Easy to cut and peel backing off. I used this tape to repair a cat scratched sofa - I cut millimeter thin slivers of fabric tape and stuck behind each loose thread. The tape sticks so well. I was able to 'glue down' all the loose threads that were too short to stitch back in. Didn't stick to hands either! I can see so many uses for this strong adhesive. I think I will be keeping this in my sewing kit from now on.

I used this tape to hem pants. It says to not wash or dry the clothing with fabric softener/fabric sheet before you apply the tape, and this is important if you want a result that will continue to stick in the future through washing & drying. After application, you can wash/dry as usual. I've washed/dried my pants with fabric softener sheets several times since I hemmed them, and the tape is as good as ever. Permanently hemmed.

I was very happy with this product and also the fast delivery. Thank you

The tape itself is great, no issues, it does wht it's supposed to do great. The same can not be said for the seller though, useless.

tricky to use fond it very difficuly pealing the sticker.. maybe best for professionals
