Aleene's Fabric Fusion Glue.
Aleene's Fabric Glue is good at fusing fabrics together really well and easy to use. It does not work on lampshades that have a plastic type backing very well unless you can somehow clamp the edges together. It works on everything that is fabric based.

Seems perfect for many uses
Have used this to glue patches onto my boys' trousers, at the knee of course, and it's FAR superior to buying special iron-on patches, and MUCH easier and faster than sewing. Turn the pants inside out. Sacrifice an old (small) pants to cut into patches. Make the patch a mere inch or so larger than the rip. It helps to put paper or an index card under the place you'll glue, to keep the glue from spreading deep into the next layer of fabric, but that's not such an issue; the glue has a good thickness and isn't too runny. Press the patch on top. Then press it all under a couple of books, and a few minutes later it's done. Unless you're very messy or use way too much glue, it ends up clean, no stains, glue stays in place. Pants I glued a couple of months ago, subject to extreme use, show no signs of weakening (unlike iron on patches, which haven't lasted for me.) Has also worked very well for making things like placemats, tablecloth from extra fabric -- but impt to keep lines very straght. Awkward to use to darn socks, so for that I still use needle and thread. In short, an excellent product with just the right amount of thickness, glue-ability, and it seems to last. Note, I used the fabric fusion permanent adhesive, not the instant dry type. 4 oz bottle, after many uses I'm down to about 3-3/4 oz, so it's a good amount. Each time I am done I squeeze out all excess air, then cap it, then store it on its side so air doesn't get in... Perhaps that's overkill but no problem so far with bottle drying out, should last me years.

KITTY EARMUFFS
LOVE the black kitty earmuffs, but the ears must have been damaged in transit as they fell off within minutes of arrival. Unfortunately tha packaging went out with the holiday wrapping paper, so returning would be a hassle. Still nice earmuffs though. And the white with rainbow earmuffs are great!

Great glue fabric to fabric gluing
This glue works for gluing fabric to fabric. Granted it more difficult in felt, but with clips I was about to get two pieces to stick together. Yay! I use this as my go to glue for fabric gluing, it holds well once dried, and if used correctly, is not messy.

Stiff, bleeds through fabric
I used this to hem pants. It holds well and dries pretty quickly. The cons- dries stiff, bleeds through fabric and leaves a white residue. It may work for other projects or thicker fabric. I'll stick with Liquid Stitch for quick hems.

Using this glue was the worst quilting mistake I have ever made, I wish with all my heart I had used fusible webbing!
Because I tried such a big project with this glue, I thought about giving it two stars, because it would be much more manageable for a smaller project. But I just can't. Please use fusible webbing for your fabric fusion needs! The short: This glue is messy, hard to work with, dries crusty and impossible to clean. The long: I am a reasonably experienced quilter and was intrigued by the pattern for a hexagonal quilt that my daughter-in-law asked me to make as a wedding quilt. The pattern was fairly simple--although time consuming-- and this glue was strongly recommended to attach the hexies to the base fabric. After looking at the product and watching the video, I was expecting something that would be far better than using fusible webbing that can sometimes add stiffness. Because there is a lot of fabric in this quilt and the hexies are ironed into shape rather than cut, I wanted to avoid any stiffness. The glue certainly didn't live up to its promises! I glued a sample first, just to make sure that it would work out. It seemed OK. I noticed right away that there would be two initial problems. First, it was tough to get the glue all the way to the edges of the fabric without having some squish out. I decided to solve this by using brushes to put the glue on the fabric. The second was that the glue bled through the backing fabric. Not wanting my quilt to get stuck to the table or the floor, I put the entire quilt (top, batting, and backing) on a quilting frame so that the glue wouldn't leak through. It didn't take us long to figure out that the glue was going to be a huge problem! I suppose I should have called it quits right then, but I would have had to get new backing fabric at least because there is no way of getting the glue off the fabric once it's on. In retrospect, I would have done it anyway! We had almost 400 hexies to place, so I solicited help from other members of my family and we started brushing glue on and trying to place the hexies. The brushed on glue wasn't thick enough to hold the fabric, even though we were being generous, but when we used the bottle, the glue was squishing out all over. Once it dried, it left a permanent, shiny, crusty, glue spot. In the meantime, it was getting all over the hands of anyone who touched it, so if they touched the quilt, more glue spots. We persevered and did our best over two sessions and many hand washes. Once the glue had dried, there were still many, many of the hexies that had edges that were popping up. I had originally planned to do my own machine quilting as the original pattern called for straight lines. I changed my mind about machine quilting it and decided to take it to a long-arm quilter who could easily go around each hexie, tacking the edges down. I spent another few hours gluing down the worst of the popped up hexies to make it easier for her. To our dismay, the glue was so crusty that it shredded her thread when she tried to follow the edge of the hexies, resulting in her having to use straight lines across the hexies after all. Today, I have spent a few hours on a third round of gluing to get the worst of the edges down. I have had to be extremely careful, because too much glue and it seeps out, getting everywhere, and too little and it just doesn't hold. As I'm typing this, the quilt sits under a board held down by weights in the hopes that it will help more of the glue stick. I'm thinking that I will have to do yet another round after I finally wash it. This quilt represents hours of time and hundreds of dollars at this point and I am literally in tears over the shabby quality of it due to trying to use this glue. I wish with all of my heart that I had used fusible webbing!

Always have this for my crafts
I’ve tried a few fabric glues over the years, and this 4 oz bottle of Fabric Fusion is hands-down one of the best I’ve used. It goes on smooth, dries clear, and holds surprisingly strong — even on tricky fabrics like denim and sequins. I used it for hemming a dress and fixing a couple of costume pieces, and everything has stayed put through washing and wear. I love that it doesn’t stay super sticky once dry — it still has some flexibility so your fabric doesn’t feel stiff. The applicator tip makes it really easy to control how much glue I’m using, and a little goes a long way. Cleanup was simple too; just wipe off excess while it’s still wet. If you’re looking for a reliable fabric glue that actually works like it promises, this is it. I’ll definitely be keeping this on hand for future sewing fixes and DIY projects.

Ce produit ne fonctionne pas - les tissus collés se sont désagrégés en une journée.

El título no es una perogrullada: he probado bastantes adhesivos textiles y ninguno soportaba un tirón. Pues éste sí. Sobre todo lo utilizo para pegar telas impresas sobre camisetas y bolsos, es decir, algo más que adornitos en una esquina. Con él tengo la seguridad de que el trabajo va a resistir el uso y los lavados. De hecho, una conocida se hace con él los bolsos, sin dar una puntada, y aguantan sin problemas, cosa que también tengo que probar. En general, si coser no te entusiasma pero quieres hacer cosas con telas, éste es tu adhesivo.

Great glue, holds fast and dries clear. Came from America so slower delivery than usual but we'll worth the wait. Use it for craft and works a treat.

Easy to apply and appear to be quite sturdy after sticking the parts back.
