DIY Question - Stitch Witchery or Heat N Bond??

You could probably even hot glue it then cover the seam with ribbon.

I have never tried Stitch Witchery. I have used Heat N Bond many times - including on the hem of pants, which I washed and dried MANY times and have never had an issue.

If the fabric is snagging you probably have too big of a needle or your machine/bobbin isn't threaded correctly. I don't think gluing/stitch witchery etc would be any faster then sewing.

Is the thread clumping and chunking on the underside of the fabric when sewing?

I agree that I think it would take longer to use Stitch Witchery or Heat N Bond. I've had problems with Stitch Witchery in the past sometimes it works great sometime it doesn't bond. I love Heat N Bond never had a problem with it, however when using it with lace be careful to not get any on the glue on your iron, it will seep through the lace and it's a pain in the butt to get off

Good luck

See previous post: I am only asking because if this is the case it could be a bobbin/and or tension issue. I would suggest taking the spool of thread and bobbin completely off. Rethreading the machine again. Completely resetting all tension dials (any dial with numbers) on the sewing machine (going from 0-highest number a few times and back again). And trying to sew again on a sample piece of fabric. i do a lot of quilting and get very frustrated with snagging sometimes. This should help if it is clumping under the fabric. your best bet is just sewing with the lace. For the reason that she mentioned above. I think if you can get the snagging under control you would be great!

I have use both. I used Heat Bond on my current living room curtains and used my straightening iron to bind it instead of taking them down and using an iron!

I have only used heat and bond and had good results.

Also to go along with Desiree have something down on bottom in case , We made lavender sachets for the bridal shower and where it snuck out on top on my counters I cant seem to get it all off but it works well !

Love the lifehack of using the hair straightener to bond the heat and bond without taking the curtains down!

I've never used heat and bond, but I've had stitch witchery fall apart on me after a wash.

Sometimes when sewing difficult to feed fabrics it helps to sew over a piece of tissue paper. Just make sure it's the same color as the fabric so it doesn't matter if there are teeny pieces of paper left in the seam.

Just saw that you already bought the stitch witchery, honestly, it only fell apart AFTER a couple washes. Either should be fine for just the ceremony.

I am with @KTizzle. I also have used Heat and Bond on hems and never had an issue - even after many MANY washes.

ETA: I have not used Stitch Witchery

Thank you so much for all the input!! I would have never thought to use tissue paper when sewing, that's a neat trick I may try.

Hi Valerie!! I'm hoping you still check this thread.... any chance you could tell me where you got your lace???

We got it at JoAnn's. And of course it was the most expensive lace they had. But the picture above is NOT the lace we purchased. That was a picture of another couple that got married at our venue, and we liked what they did.
