[+] The Creative Details: Performance & Feel (Click to Expand)
Pébéo Setacolor Permanent Fabric Glue is designed for artists who want to construct textile designs rather than only paint them. Its water-based formulation spreads easily with brushes, sponges, or applicators, allowing controlled placement when building fabric layers, trims, or decorative appliqué.
This adhesive is especially useful for fabric collage, mixed-media textile art, garment decoration, and craft-based design projects. It allows fabric elements to be attached to surfaces such as wood or cardboard, expanding textile techniques into sculptural and decorative objects.
Compared with traditional sewing, fabric glue offers a faster solution for decorative assembly and design work. However, it is best suited for creative embellishment and collage rather than structural garment construction where stitching would provide stronger reinforcement.
The adhesive integrates naturally with Pébéo’s textile system and can be used alongside glitter or painted fabric surfaces to build layered visual effects. Artists exploring textile design can also expand their workflow using Setacolor opaque fabric paints, experiment with texture using Setacolor glitter, or discover additional options in our collection of fabric paints and textile mediums.
