Powdery fabric bonder ?

Lola.G_2

Can anyone help? This is probably not in the right place, I don't venture here too often but...

does anyone know the name of the powdery stuff that you can you can iron over which will bond fabric?

I was multi tasking earlier which involved a phone call, a pair of scissors, a form to return to school and not enough concentration and I've just made a small cut in a favourite skirt accidentally :mad: Think it will bond together OK, would certainly look better than if I stitched it, but I can't remember the name of the stuff I need.

Have you tried Lakeland online?

I have something which I think is what you are after. I bought it from one of the Kleeneze/Betterware cataglouges a couple of years ago. I have two different types one by Astonish and called Fabric Repair Bonding Kit and one is actually Betterware brand called Supermend Fabric Bond. They both seem to do the same job. I think I paid £3 for the Astonish one (very small pack 30g pack_ and £5 for the Betterware one which is 50g pack, cannot remember exact cost.

Hope this helps.

I've used the Betterware fabic bonding powder & it did the job & was quite good value as best I recall.

Where do you live? If you are in or near Suffolk try Mill house Fabrics. Mum orders for the haberdashery and she knows everything there is to know about that stuff. Whats the name of that big craft shop in Manchester, they do mail order, they would sell it. I know what u mean but the name escapes me.

I got some powder from either kleeneze, or betterware, I cant remember which one now. It didnt work. My iron got stuck, my trousers got stuck, and in the end I had to put them into the bin. I found something in tesco. I have a feeling its called bondaweb. It comes on a roll like sellotape and if I can manage it you can. Its on the end of an isle with the rest of the sewing fixing stuff.

Try the haberdashery stand in your local supermarket.

You can either buy hemming web which is what I think you are talking about, or you can buy mending fabric. It's thicker with a sticky side on it. You just cut a piece to cover the tear, place it on the inside of the item and hold a steam iron on for a few seconds. It's dead easy to use and I've used it a lot to repair my childrens clothes.

I got the powder from Betterware. I used it to repair DH's suede jacket and it came out brilliantly. Fantastic stuff.

I saw a new invisible mender stuff in my co-op yesterday. It's a glue in a little biscuit shaped container that they say will withstand ironing and hot washing.
