If you need to attach gems, sequins, glitter, and rhinestones to fabric you may be wondering what is the best fabric glue to stick these all on with. There is nothing worse than having all of your hard work falling off in the washing machine or the clothes dryer due to using substandard or incorrect fabric glue. With my daughter doing calisthenics and my wife making each outfit we needed a reliable way to glue on all these sequins.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many of the moms at the dance club are using E6000 Fabri-Fuse and another product called Beacon Gem-Tac permanent adhesive. Both providing excellent results, so being an inquisitive person, I thought I would work out which was the best for my little girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using the strongest fabric glue instead of sewing really speeds up the process of sequencing, and with the latest permanent fabric glue, your outfit can last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Gem-Tac is a very interesting product. It is not as thick as the E6000 Fabri Fuse but is just as strong when used to bond Swarovski crystals, gems, beads sequins, glitter, and rhinestones to all types of clothing. The glue, although white in the tube it dries clear. So if you use too much on your gemstone it will be hard to see the spillage which is a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also a fantastic product to glue fabrics to glass, vinyl, metal, and leather. It’s a general all-rounder adhesive. You are able to wash your clothes that have been glued with Beacon Gem-Tac and its safe to use in a clothes dryer, in-fact your bond strength should increase with heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We haven’t had any rhinestones fall off yet. Also being non-toxic it is very safe for your children. It is also non-flammable so its safe for your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are wanting glue to bond gems with a silver foil backing, this is the glue for you. The E6000 craft adhesive has a history of eating into the foil backing over time. Saying that the E6000 Fabri Fuse is silver backing safe.<\/p>\n\n\n The E6000 Fabri Fuse is the strongest fabric glue for your DIY clothing project. Used by thousands of mums and dads all over the world to glue on cloth patches and rhinestones, it has proven itself over and over again. I have personally used this for our children’s uniforms I can honestly say that I’m impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The wife used it to glue some Swarovski crystals<\/a> onto her personalized number plate which has lasted 3 years now in the extreme weather. I have had great success using it to glue Gopro mounts onto helmets and also to glue a LED 5050 light strip<\/a> to the underside of a wooden handrail shown to the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No longer do I need to poke myself in the finger with a needle or spend hours removing stitching from a badge because it went on crooked or even hotfix rhinestones. With the Fabri Fuse, you will get it done right the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n There are many different types of E6000 glue for fabrics and other materials, so I made a table up below as a cheat sheet to work out what glue is best for a given embellishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n Washable fabric glue<\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr> <\/p>\n Washable fabric glue<\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr> <\/p>\n Industrial<\/p>\n<\/td> <\/p>\n Washable fabric glue<\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr> <\/p>\n Industrial<\/p>\n<\/td> The process is really simple and with the correct applicator and fabric glue you will be done in no time. The trick is to use a hobby syringe<\/a> filled with either E6000 or Gem-Tac. Ultimately we found that E6000 Fabri Fuse was the best glue for rhinestones. This way you don’t need a syringe applicator as the applicator has a small tip nozzle.<\/p>\n\n\nBest Fabric glue instead of sewing<\/h2>\n\n\n
