Ironing & gluing
Ironing & gluing is the basic equipment for professional results when sewing yourself. Whether shaping iron-on interfacings, practical adhesive solutions for quick fixings or reinforcements for eyelets and snap fasteners - in this category you will discover suitable materials and accessories for a wide range of fabrics and applications.
What is suitable for what?
- Lightweight iron-on interlinings and Vlieseline options stabilize blouses, dresses and edgings without being visibly bulky.
- Medium to heavy interlinings give structure to collars, pockets, jackets and belt attachments.
- Textile glue and spray glue are suitable for temporarily fixing hems, appliqués or zipper tapes before sewing.
- Eyelet and press stud reinforcements ensure that printed parts and eyelets do not tear out - important for canvas, imitation leather and workwear.
Tips for processing
Always test interlinings and adhesives on a scrap piece of your material first: temperature, printing time and adhesive effect can vary. For iron-on interlinings, observe the recommended heat and steam parameters, use a damp cloth as an intermediate layer and allow to cool briefly after ironing to ensure full adhesion. Use adhesives sparingly, ventilate well and remove adhesive residues in good time. Stitched reinforcements are often the more robust solution for permanent to stressed areas.
What makes these products special?
- Versatility: From fine interlinings to sturdy piping fleece, there is something for almost every project.
- Time-saving: Adhesive solutions make fusing easier when sewing would be too cumbersome (e.g. when appliquéing or pre-fusing hems).
- Precision: Special accessories such as iron cleaner, pressing mats and insertion templates make clean results easier to achieve.
