Has anyone used these on a wool suit (suit trousers)? I have a small tear I want to patch.

You could but it would not look good...different color, texture, etc... the patch is a rough cotton material.

I have used on all over and it works just as well. As for your barging suit, I don't know. I've wiped it on a towel, it did not stain the towel. I guess try it on an old shirt, etc first.

No, I sewed some on. There is a way to put them on without sewing, but I could never figure it out. Cabelas tried to explain it to me and you might find some help there. I used monofilament line and it works fine.

To be honest, I haven't tried to press wool pants, with or without a lner. The only way I can think of would be to lay the pant legs out as flat and wrinkleless as possible then lower the press onto them. Your hands should NEVER come into contact with the upper HOT surface as you can get burnt very badly very quickly due to the temperature of the steam. Experiment with different positions to see what works easiest, safest and best is all I be able to suggest to do. You also might try turning the liner out and pressing that first then reinserting it back into the leg and pressing the whole assembly, if your able to try this.

I have not used them on fleece. I have a feeling with the experience I had that they would not. I think they would need to be stitched on to make sure they don't come off.

I have not used it on any silks and wool,,Try using it on some scrap wool or silk. This Laundry soda is not as harsh as most detergents.

I haven't tried them on clothes. I have used them on furniture, and I found they really don't work very well.

I'm sorrt, but I have no idea about how it would work with felted wool as I've only used on leather with thicknesses varying from relatively paper thin to typical belt thickness and it punched cleanly through all of it with now tearing.

Did you try the patch kit? In the instructions it also says you can use duct tape for a temporary fix.

They have adhesive in the kit but for minor scuff abrasion type of tears on just the top surface that I had, I did not use it and it seems to have worked very well on my motorcycle backrest. My tear was only 1/8 x 1/2 of the top leather leaving the white under fabric still in tact. I had a quote for having this professionally repaired at $80 range, and for under $15 for this 3M kit, was a simple gamble to me. Was satisfied with results. Hope that feedback is helpful. Good luck.

Sorry, never tried it for patching clothes. Can't give you an accurate answer. Try calling the company/manufacturer.

I'm not 100% sure, but I do know that this is the best steamer I've ever used and it works well on heavy wool suits. If this won't do it, I don't know what will.

They are quite sharp, so I think they would work for thinner fabrics. I know they could cut through a standard thickness wool felt, but fleece might be too thick. They are definitely not as sharp as sewing scissors.

Sorry, I can't help you. I used the Shoe Goo to reattach some trim around the top of the soles on a pair of boots. I've never tried to repair soles.

They worked great on tablecloths!!! I did not use on rougher fabric so not sure about that.

We have used ours about four times and no tears yet. For the price they have kept us dry so far. But I think any rain suit can get ripped unfortunately.
