Question

If I glue a shirt with a hot glue gun instead of sewing it, will the glue come off in the washer? cold water?

Answer 1

Hot glue is not meant for clothing.  If you need a quick fix and do not have a machine or needles and thread there is glue specifically for cloth that you can use.  There is also a product called stitch witchery.  This product is a fusible webbing and you a clothing iron to attach it.  Make sure and follow the package directions.

Answer 2

Glue will mess the shirt up just wait to get it fixed the right way  

Answer 3

Why would you glue the shirt instead of sewing it? Asking this question probably took more time than sewing it would have - or taking it to a tailor.

Answer 4

It will be fine for a while, just don't put it in the dryer! Glue will be all over everything, i dried a crayon a few times, wow what a mess. You go girl, great project, i am gonna tie dye some sheets, been seeing it a lot, i was a 70's girl and i used to do that, but just on t shirts. Projects are so much fun and good for the soul.

Answer 5

I would not glue my shirt, thats not a very smart thing to do, but if you glue it it will come off and you'll ruin your shirt.  

Answer 6

it might but if it soes not in the washer it definitely will in the dryer.plus it will be rough on your skin. and when it gets in the dryer, it will melt and get all over everything in the dryer!! not a good idea
