Description

Product Details

Often referred to as a "stabilizer," our products feature either a paper- or Mylar-backed sheet of heat-activated adhesive and sold in rolls by the yard. It requires low temperature and short pressing times, which enable a wide range of fabrics to bond to it. These solid sheets of adhesive allow for edge-to-edge coverage for applique shapes on quilts, wall hangings and attire, without puckering or bunching. NOTE: These are the same adhesive systems used to coat Acrylic Felt and Sports Twill, as well as our other specialty films for the HTV marketplace.

Adhesive Types

Adhesive FAQs

Do You Have Adhesive To Embroider Patches?

To bond an embroidered patch to garments, use our P600 5-Mil Permanent Hot-Melt Adhesive. Apply the P600 adhesive to the back of the patch, trim off any excess material, and it's ready to heat press and fuse.

Which Adhesive Is Best For Sewing Applications?

The PS960 is the best adhesive to use to keep fabric for sewing applications in place. It utilizes a peel-and-stick pressure sensitive adhesive ("PSA") with a needle glide additive to prevent gummed-up needles.

Which Types of Fabric Does Your Adhesive Bond To?

Our proprietary Hot-Melt Adhesives permanently bond to all types of fabric except for nylon and leather. It will adhere to cotton, polyester, poly-cotton, acrylics like [guided-journey type='felt' button_text="Sports Felt"] and performance fabrics. The adhesive can also be used as a temporary bond in order to sew.

Is This Product Similar to Heat'n Bond And Wonder-Under?

Our P600 Hot-Melt Adhesive is similar to both Heat'n Bond and Wonder-Under. However, the P600 is a solid hot-melt film while Wonder-Under is a non-woven web. Consequently, the film features more adhesive than a web of the same thickness and is more durable as a result.

Is Sewing Required After Cutting Your PSA Permanent Backing?

Our PS965 PSA Permanent backing was designed so that sewing on the garment is unnecessary. It features a dual peel-and-stick component to hold it in place and a hot-melt component that permanently fuses to the garment upon heat pressing.

Does Your Adhesive Have A Backing So That I Can Cut It On My Plotter Or Craft Cutter?

P600, PS960 and PS965 can be used with a multitude of cutters depending on the application. The PS960 and PS965 have Mylar backings that allow plotters to Kiss Cut through to the liner. It also has a peel-and-stitch feature that holds the applique in place for permanent bonding (PS965) or for embroidery or sewing (PS960). The P600 is intended only for Silhouette or Cricut desktop cutters or can be hand-cut with scissors.
