clothing repair

illuminate

I'm looking to find that iron on adhesive material that I remember my mum using to repair rips/tears in clothes.

Can't find it anywhere.

Would prefer an online source if possible. Tried googling it tried eBay..... no joy.

Can anybody help ?

Do you mean wundaweb?

Do you mean Wundaweb? I think you can get it in Wilkinsons....or atry a good haberdashery shop or market stall if you have one.

John Lewis in Newcastle sells it. So I'd assume other JLs do too.

I think you mean a self adhesive patch often denim, or grey trouser material for school trousers? I have some, but bought several years ago, Binns/House of Frazer are a good try, plus any local shops selling sewing materials/knitting wools, etc., if you still have one, or a local market with a sewing stall on it. The option is using wonderweb, and putting in between the replacement material patch and the original, but make sure it goes up to the edge, but not over or else you will stick up your iron,

Cheers for your help, but I found wondaweb and thats not it.

What I'm after is very similar, but its like a black cloth with something smilar to wondaweb on one side.

This means that you iron it directly onto the back of the area you are repairing rather that putting it inbetween to pieces of fabrics you are trying to fix together.

Am I making sense ?

yep.... thats the stuff.

I was going to try using wondaweb as you suggest but was feared of knacking up my iron.
