Fabric Fusion?

[funnykindagirl72]

Hi, pretty new to the bowmaking thang... My glue gun drives me to tears as it leaks & leaves me & my bows tangled up in strings of glue...

Anyways, I bought this new stuff at Walmart called Fabric Fusion-anyone tried that? Will that hold very well? I've heard E-6000 is pretty noxious. I make my bows at night while my daughter is sleeping, I don't really want to have to go outside to make bows late at night or stay inside and perhaps be found dead in the morning! As But I also don't want to waste money on something that doesn't work (though it was pretty cheap-but I waste too much money on stuff I like & don't need already--no money to waste on stuff I don't & don't need)

Thanks

I have never heard of it but what kind of glue gun do you have? I have a surebonder and I love it. Sometimes if I leave it on for a long time (a few hours) it will drop a couple of blobs but it helps if you pull a little on the glue stick.

I think fabric fusion is kinda worthless. I got some to try and I left it in my work area on a counter. Well, my 4yo decided one day she was going to make "bows and clothes" while I was gone one day (DH was on duty, of course!) She got into my stuff, cut some ribbon up and slathered it with fabric fusion and left it laying on the floor. I didn't discover it until several hours later when I got back (yeah, I was taking my sweet time shopping.) Anyway, the glue was dry, nothing stuck together and nothing stuck to the carpet!

Try FabriTac. It's a little hard to squeeze out of the bottle, but it works.

I use fabritac and love it.

I also struggled with the glue gun,,strings everywhere! I started using E-6000 to do flipflops and have not gotten the glue gun out since. I love the stuff. I screw off the cap, then use a toothpick or popsicle stick to apply it with. I haven't gotten "stoned" on the stuff yet, but I would be cautious if your child(ren) are in the same room where you are working. I actually have my sewing/craft area in a vented laundry room,,,maybe you can find a vented area

I really like E6000 ~ but I do usually have the ceiling fan on when using it. Then again, I don't do very many at once.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply (Very busy weekend, so I haven't had a chance to see replies till now).

Thanks, Ronda; I will definately be returning the fabric fusion.

Lisa Marie, what is surebonder?

And Arin, I'd heard of Fabritac before; but where do you find it?

Thanks again to everyone for being so helpful!

A surebonder is just a type of glue gun
