Dritz 395 Original Liquid Stitch, 2-Fluid Ounce, Clear

I love this stuff! Quick fix for so many items I can't begin to name them. Hems are a pain but this liquid stitch does the job and lasts a long time. There are so many other uses just great cloth glue.

The stitching on my coat pocket liner gave way creating a hole where everything I put in it ended up in the coat liner. I was going to try and sew the pocket but that proved to be nearly impossible because I couldn't get enough of the liner out of the pocket to fix the whole thing. This left me with two choices, find something to glue it together or throw the coat out. As I've never used fabric glue before I went with this one because it had good reviews and was relativley inexpensive. The glue was easy to apply and within 30 seconds or so, it had adhered sufficently enough where I no longer had to hold the two pieces of cloth together. At that point I was able to hang the coat and give the glue 24 hours to completely cure. Rather than being left with a hard seam as I would have if I had used super glue, the seam remains somewhat plyable (a good thing) and well bonded. I've been wearing the coat now for about 3 weeks and the pocket liner is as good as if it had been stitched. So would I recommend it? Based on my experience I would. I really wish that they sold an even smaller bottle however as I suspect it will take me years (many) to use it all up at which time I'm sure it will have hardened in the bottle.

I got this Liquid Stitch for keeping the ends of cotton yarn in check on a crochet project. I will say it's pretty easy to use, I just used a combination of q-tips and my fingers to apply it to the yarn, and it dries fairly quickly. It comes off of skin easily with soap and water. However, the strength/adhesion leaves something to be desired. I had to redo a few spots. I wonder if it works differently on different materials? I wouldn't expect this to completely replace thread as it claims to; I think it works better as a fray check/for small areas.

Held pieces of material together very well

I had asked the previous reviewer ("concerned parent") about its washability and she was most kind to answer in the positive. I would like to add a few other good points. It's white, like Elmer's, and it dries perfectly clear (give it the full 24 hours if possible) IF you apply it thinly and evenly (a big glob would never be clear because the interior of the glob would never get air enough to cure it). NOTE: Elmer's won't hold up in the wash! Other fabric glues may SAY that they dry clear but actually turn a hideous brown with a little time. This does stay clear. If I am going to use it to apply something like rick rack or an applique I use a quality flat watercolor brush to evenly apply it to the underside. And since it does cure so slowly it is no problem having enough time to clean the brushes and the bottle's top with warm soapy water (no different than if you were painting with acrylics). Also store the bottle of Liquid Stitch upright with the tip tightly closed OR alternatively you could place a little clear plastic to the top of the bottle before you screw the clean tip back on. SUGGESTION TO THE PEOPLE WHO BOTTLE THE LIQUID STITCH: Why Don't You Have A Temporary Seal (Like They Have On Catsup Or Mustard) on A New Bottle! I had to struggle clearing the solidly clogged glue in the top and tip - so much that I nearly tossed it! NOTE: it is a bit toxic so wash your hands well and even then be careful not to rub your eyes. As I learned the hard way. What a fun and useful tool to add to my sewing supplies!

The very best I've tried. Works great. Dries clear, no yellow residue. Strong hold.

Would not recommend to adhere patches to fabric. I let the glue dry overnight and upon checking in the morning, the patches peeled off when I moved the fabric. I’m having to go back and hand sew these on anyway. So I found that it’s not permanent or equivalent to real stitching. Can’t hate the product, though, I imagine it’s better for hemming. PS I will say it’s been a good product to keep the patches in place while I sew them. My needle goes through the glue easily. Update: I used this to secure my threads on the inside of the sweatshirt after hand sewing the patches. Yeah, those aren’t going anywhere, so that’s awesome. However, the dried glue is scratchy on the skin, so use backing to avoid that! Definitely a fabric-to-fabric product.

Amazing product! I use this product for no sew pieces. I buy regular pillows and embellish the front side with fabric, crystals and fringe. Super easy to use and great quality. Thank you so very much for a wonderful time saving product! 💕

Funciona bien, pero después de la primera lavada se despegó completamente

سيء للاسف تم تجربته على القماش لكن عند غسل القماش بالماء الفاتر فقد مفعوله ولافرق بينه وبين الغراء العادي ب ٤ فقط ولايستحق ثمنه لانه غير دائم وباهظ الثمن بالنسبه لمفعوله

Not water resistant

It is my second purchase. I used it on my quilt cover, hems etc,. It doesn't come off even washed many times. Excellent product! delivery was fast.

I'd bought a "fabric glue" from the local store for a large DIY couch cover project. But to my disappointment, the glue didn't stick. Someone suggested this liquid stitch product, and it worked! It does dry really fast, so it's good to work in small patches, but once dry it is on there for good.
