I used this when I could not get my hands on Fabric stiffener and it is a lot cheaper.
This project was submitted by Nana Tess (Tess). Thanks Tess!
I've worked with fabrics - with watered down glue I gave them a "paper"effect. Once dried, it is surprising how many washes the treated fabric survives (at least ten) until it starts loosing crispness.
I have 7 meters of fabric that needs stiffening (like dressing). Would this work? Does the glue wash out when fabric is washed? Thanks for the tips.
GREAT IDEA AS THESE PURCHASED STIFFENERS ARE I AM SURE ONLY PVA GLUE RELABELLED
SANDRA.
Thank you for such a helpful suggestion. It'll save me $$$ too!
