I can't sew! Can I buy an adhesive product to make a 'sew-on' patch into an 'iron-on' patch?

Answer 1

yes...
go to joann crafts or any other craft store (i have bought it at joanns though)
get something called stitch witchery (it may also be called fuseable web) it comes in a roll like tape and is like 3 dollars
ask sumone for it.. they can tell you right where it is... it is usually with teh sewing notions like pins, needles, etc
it is easy to use...
cut strips the size of your patch... place your fabric you are putting your patch onto an ironing board (can also use a table with a bath towel laid out on it)
put the stitch wichery on top then your patch (make sure none of the stitch witchery is hanging out) and then take a wash cloth or simmilar rag and wet it... just moist.. not soaking wet...... put that on top of the patch then a piece of cloth/ another rag or sumthing that is dry... press your iron down on top of all these for (i think its 15 seconds) and remove... and patch should be secured and it can be washed too... but after time it will start to wear off sometimes.. if this happens you can re-do it. Also the instructions are onthe package.....

Answer 2

Good previous suggestions (for the most part). Also, I bought a product from 'Duluth Traders' called "Tear Mender," which is like a super-strong rubber cement, a whitish goo you spread on both surfaces, press the 2 items together and put a weight on top...sticks quickly! Of course. it depends on the fabrics you're dealing with; me, I was cutting the back pockets off of old pairs of jeans and 'gluing' them onto the worn-through back pockets of my work jeans, where screwdrivers, keys, etc., had worn holes through them. With Tear Mender, you don't need to iron and you can wash the items later and the patched-on pieces stay put...and I wouldn't throw the items into a dryer on the hottest setting, although that might be okay...maybe I'm just a cautious type! You might find 'Tear Mender' in stores, but I've never looked for it since I found it on-line. (P.S., Duluth Traders has an amazing variety of tools, accessories, work clothes, etc.)

Answer 3

Go to your local Wal-Mart store, in the material department and the clerk can help you pick out any number of sew on patches.

Answer 4

Fusible webbing is what you're looking for. You can also use Aleene's fabric glue available in Walmart or Micheal's ,JoAnn. etc. The webbing is also sold in a roll like tape and that would be good for you too. Just look for iron on seam tape. Lots of options!!!!! All very inexpensive as well.

Answer 5

in the fabric department there is a product called stick witchery, thin film, that you place between the fabric and the patch and Iron. works fine

Answer 6

Try "Wonder Under." It comes on rolls at your local craft or fabric store.

Answer 7
