Is this good to use for fabrics that ravel. I'm making seat cushions.

It is not for cutting natural fabrics (cotton, hemp, etc.). Also, do not expect the cutting process to give any strength to the cut edges. It is just a cutter and the only benefit to the heat cut is that it melts the ends of the fibers together so they stay together.

I would agree with VS, be cautious when working with embroidered fabric, otherwise I think you'll be happy to use it on many garments. Larry

I doubt if it can be used on Fabrics because it's very runny and gets all over the place and when it dries, it dries a beige colour and is obviously dried glue. There are fabric glues out there that Costumers use to make an instant hem but I don;t know the name of it.

I would use Fiebings 4 way care leather conditioner --- it is good for upholstery...

This works on fabric. I haven't washed anything afterward, but I would think it would be fine. You can do some research online.

I have only used this product for vinyl chairs/seats. I don't think that I, would use it for something as delicate as suede shoes though. It works great for vinyl upholstery like I said.

Yes, I used it on a love seat and on upholstered kitchen chairs with excellent results. Left the fabric smooth.

Hi Deanna, this is what I used it for. I have a very expensive leather sofa that looked warn. This does a great job of cleaning and softening the leather (leaves sort of a natural sheen). I use it on my sofa every six months or so. From now on, this is the only product I will use on dyed leather. It will darken natural leather. Love the stuff.

I have only used it with quilting cotton fabrics. I think it will work well on any weight cotton but silky fabrics may be a problem.

I have used it on sofa chairs and fabric car seats and have been very impressed. It's worth a try.

I think this would work great on upholstery. You might gave to use small scissors at the seam lines but it would work well on the flatter areas. Nancy Jo

I don't think this works well with thick fabrics. I tried using it with some thick fabrics and they simply didn't fit through the channel. Since it's metal, there's no give. However, if you're doing potholders, it might be squishy enough to compress and make it through. I've found it to be a really useful foot to have around for other uses though. It works great on everything except thick stuff. Also good to note that it doesn't accept double wide bias tape.

I have the exact same question. Did you end up buying it AnnD? Did it work? I would like to use it in my fabric sofa as well... Thank you in advance

Yes, I used it to replace the back cushions on my ecktorp Ikea sofa. It is very firm. For the seats you will need a thicker piece or double the pieces.

I would think so. Find a small, out of the way area and test spray it first. I have used this on many fabrics so far and it has worked nicely. Although I had to put several applications on to get the desired effect.

I have not had a problem using my machine for that type of fabric. I did small projects though. I would say so long as you are using the right thread, needle and tension you should be ok.

The problem I see is that the heat necessary to melt the adhesive will burn the silk. It happened to me when I tried to use it on polyester. Cotton was just fine.
