Using Glue and Tape in Quilting Projects

Glue and tape have a remarkable number of applications in quilting. Here are some of the most common examples of how glue and tape is used in the quilting craft:

• Binding: The simple action of binding can be difficult for beginners, and this is where glue and tape help a lot.
• Piecing: They can be used to keep your fabrics together before you sew them permanently.
• Hemming: Those who do not like to use pins while hemming could consider some simple tape or glue instead.
• Applique: Prevent fabric shifting with glue or tape, keeping it in place to make doing applique a lot easier.
• Basting: Some crafters prefer to use an adhesive spray for their quilts, a slightly easier option than pinning.

Tips for Using Quilting Glue & Tape for Quilting

There are a couple of simple tips to keep in mind when you start working with quilting glue and tape for the first time. Here are a few things to consider:

Sewing Around Glue

Glue can be a worry for some crafters because they believe that adding it could cause their needles to become affected. Simply use the glue in the seam allowance and avoid using it over the rest of your fabric. By doing so, you will avoid getting glue on the needle or damaging it in general.

How Much Glue is Best?

It is important to realise that a large amount of glue does not necessarily mean the strongest bond with the fabric. Glue is made to create a strong bond with a minimum amount of glue, so only apply the minimum required amount.

Washable Glue and Tape for Quilting

Please note that any glue you use in quilting needs to be washable. Once your project is completed, it can easily be washed off and keep your project intact. Using a specially designed wash away glue means that you can ensure your project is perfectly aligned and the glue disappears after washing for a professional result.
