- • Best for: Home sewists and busy households needing fast, no-sew hems and quick repairs
- • Not ideal for: Smooth or sticky surfaces where adhesive cannot grip effectively
Heat-activated non-woven web fuses fabric layers when ironed at the recommended temperature. Ironing at about 140-150°C for 10-15 passes activates the adhesive to create a near-invisible hem.
Neat hems in minutes - with heat-activated non-woven adhesive
Non-woven fabric web sits between fabric layers and is fused by applying a hot iron (recommendation: 140-150°C) with pressure for 10-15 passes, activating the double-sided adhesive.
Users can create clean trouser, skirt or curtain hems without sewing, making it ideal for quick wardrobe fixes and last-minute alterations.
Durable hold through laundering - thanks to strong fusible adhesive
High-quality adhesive on both sides bonds to fibres during heat application and is designed to withstand machine washing or dry cleaning when temperatures stay below 40°C.
Repairs and hems stay secure after several washes, reducing the need for repeated fixes and helping clothes last longer between alterations.
Versatile for repairs and crafts - with wide fabric compatibility
Double-sided fusible web works with most steam-pressable textiles so it can secure patches, badges and temporary costume alterations; smooth or sticky surfaces must be avoided.
