Aleene's Temporary Fabric Glue Sticks 2/Pkg.28oz

Very easy to use-the hold is enough to not shift while sewing. Ironing sets the hold until washed.

I use these to hold my layers in place when I make hot pads, and they work well for that. No complaints.

I use Aleene's Temporary Fabric Glue Sticks for temporarily basting fabric together, especially when hemming, which can be tricky for me. This glue stick helps me fold hems without relying on a lot of pins, and it seems safe to use with my sewing machine, which is a big plus.However, the glue stick is quite thick, which makes it difficult to apply in smaller areas without getting glue where it doesn’t belong. I really wish they offered a thinner, pencil-sized version to make it easier to apply just the right amount of glue in tighter spots. Overall, it’s a handy product, but a slimmer design would make it even better for precision work.

This works just like a glue stick. You rub it all over the back of a stencil and lay it down on fabric. I stenciled fabric pennant to give my 70's trailer that hippie look. I bought the stencils, fabric pennant, foam stompers (aka pounces, I think?) and waterproof fabric paint. First I laid down a plastic bag on the table. I rubbed rubbed the back of the stencil with the temporary glue stick, laid it on the pennant, rubbed the top carefully with my fingers and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, I dipped the stomper in a little bit of waterproof fabric paint and dabbed it until the ink was almost off the stomper and I stomped it on the stencil. It takes a little bit of practice so I suggest using a scrap piece of fabric to get the hang of it. Afterwards, I peeled off the stencil and the glue washed off in the sink in cold water. It worked great and I got a lot of compliments on my "hippie" pennant.

I recently attended an event where I needed to glue fringe to a round tablecloth. Since there were no electrical plugs close by, I first tried using the Norbell cordless glue gun, which did not work out at all. Luckily, I had also purchased Aleene's Fabric Glue Stick which I had with me just in case. It worked perfectly. I just ran the glue stick around the edge of the tablecloth and the fringe went on without a hitch and stayed put until the next day with no issues. As far as how well it washed out, I cannot attest to that since the tablecloths were provided by the event coordinators and they took care of cleaning them.

WORKS WELL.

This works great, even on felt. The others do not work on felt

This glue works ok, but not to good at holding fabric and zipper tape together. It helps, somewhat, but not as good as I hoped. About the same as school glue sticks, that are cheaper. Takes a minute to dry, with clips holding it in place. It’s ok.
