Vilene 2V950 3 m x 20 mm Extra-Strong Wundaweb, White

I am an sewing-incompetent male! This stuff is very cheap so it's definitely worth a go. It has stuck with an iron grip so far, and I found it fairly easy to position with a few pins. It could be used on the premise that you hem initially with Wundaweb and then have a go at stitching over it if you want, or simply use it to buy time before a helpful sewing friend can do the 'proper' job. Durability seems good however - the garment has undergone several washes. The application, while simple, has some specific requirements (like damp cloth - and I know some modern glues are triggered by damp..) and just maybe less successful applications have not taken all these into account...

I purchased this Wundaweb for my son's school trousers as they are always too long but I'm not very good at sewing. I also used it on my work trousers as one of my hems had got caught on my shoe and had been pulled down. I found it really easy to use. You just cut a strip off to fit the entire way around the hem, fold the hem and crease, place inside the folded hem until completely covered, cover with a damp cloth then press firmly over the damp cloth with a hot dry iron for at least 10 seconds until the cloth is dry - use a pressing action, not an ironing action. Move along the hem and repeat until dry. It has held both mine and my son's trousers perfectly in place and hasn't washed out or become unstuck. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who hates sewing and where all else has failed as this one actually works.

It's good quality.Bought two trousers few inch long.Made them shorter I think the magic is how you use it first.Cover all area then cut small pieces for extra support then iron probably.Check after 10 mins if any part lose put in more tape in lose area if there is then iron that area and leave for 10 mins.Common sense.But only problem I had was quantity should of been bit more nothing to do with seller.

I always keep a pack of this in my sewing room. It has so many good uses.

What can you say about wundaweb, except that it's an amazingly effective and easy-to-use product?People know what it does and how good it is. If they don't, they're not going to be persuaded by a review. I use it a lot, having a 30in inside leg when trousers are usually 29 or 31. If I put them in for alteration, one pair would probably cost me about £6. This stuff is ridiculously inexpensive and is good for many pairs. But just try finding it in the shops.Like I say, this won't persuade anyone to go out and buy it in bulk. But I've just used it, and decided to give it some recognition.

Trying to shorten trousers, it worked fi e on lightweight fabrics but failed totally on the jeans I tried it on.

I bought this to try and turn up a dress and was not sure if it would hold but it did! So impressed and so easy to apply. Make sure you place a damp cloth over as that really made a good job and made sure I didn't catch or singe the material. Great price and lots left over should I need to alter anything else.

Works brilliantly, I used this to stick back down some patches on my jeans which had come away after a few years. Considered no more nails, but thought it might actually ruin my clothing. Therefore, discovered this and was a doddle to use and worked great. Haven't yet washed them, so not sure how they hold up for a degree wash, but rarely wash my jeans anyhow so for now, they're doing great.
