Default Re: A new way to make a unique decoration ( i think )

I used Korbond web for bonding badges and appliques. I think any fabric adhesive would do, it holds the material and gives strength otherwise the flock can be ripped if you stretch the t-shirt too much as the flock and cotton stretch to different degrees. I would not like to rely on the flock alone to hold the second material in place, even though i have tried and it washes fine but i'm not sure it would last.

The Korbond is easy to use as it's a dry web that you cut and put under the material so no mess and it can be pressed in a heat press for about 3 seconds.

I've washed a few times and still looks new, no problems at all. The rhinestones are set in cutouts, the same diameter, in the flock as i don't think they will stick to flock.

Hope this helps

Lee
