Are there spray adhesive glue for fabric that will fix this?

I bought this tee shirt and was unable to try it on because it was at a booth at the beach...I got it home and to my surprise it fit horribly. It's a very thin material, it rolls up at the bottom a little too...So I bought another baseball tee thats white with black sleeves and I want to cut out the slippery when wet logo and sew it onto the other shirt, but im not sure how to exactly. Should I sew the edges on? Is there a spray adhevise that would be easier? Im afraid if I sew the edges, the middle will lift...Any tips?Are there spray adhesive glue for fabric that will fix this?
Elmer's Craft Bond spray. You get it at Michael's for like $5... it will hold very well, won't be sticky and a lot easier than sewing!Are there spray adhesive glue for fabric that will fix this?
Go to a local fabric and craft store and get some iron on adhesive. It's usually on a roll and has to be cut at the cutting counter. The directions are on the paper side of the sheet that you buy. So when you go....just ask for fabric adhesive- or better yet, explain what you're doing and they'll likely be able to direct you to the best type of adhesive. (I'd recommend a medium weight adhesive for the most flexibility). Once it's on the new shirt, you can sew along the edges to keep it help down. Hope this helps!
I've tried many spray adhesives and they all break down over time. You may end up redoing it all of the time. If you're not good with sewing you may be able to find a seamstress who could sew it on for you and it shouldn't cost too much. You could throw a tank on under it. Layering is the style these days.
It would be easier just to have one made...all though if you did it yourself...it would be creative...you never know...you might just be on to something and start a new trend with the young people of today....Good Luck...
dont use spray on glue...





ive used a glue gun before to do something like that.. it works pretty well.. you only have to touch it up every so often..
You can go to most any fabric store and buy yourself a sheet of iron on application paper. Use this to baste the back of the image and then iron it on.





You could also scan it into your computer, then print it out on a iron transfer sheet, that you can buy at any Staples or Business Depot store.





Those are your best bets...
You should definately sew it on. There is a spray type of adhesive, sort of like a ptch glue, and you could use that. I dont know what its called. Try a fabric store
There is many products that can be used at your local craft store. One I believe would work best, would be the iron on transfers. You can take the item that you want to move to the other shirt, place the iron on transfer material on the back of the saying or logo, and then adhere. Good luck
there are a number of good fabric adhesives, both spray on and iron on. try stich witchery, which is an iron on fabric adhesive. you can find it just about anywhere. check with your local fabric store as well. we just recently made a bunch of customes for halloween and the iron on adhesive stuff worked great
I'm not sure a spray adhesive or a fabric glue would give you permanent results.





There's an iron-on adhesive material that you lay down between the logo and the new baseball tee, then cover all three layers with a damp cloth, apply a hot iron for several seconds, then remove, and voila! the logo adheres to the baseball tee.





The brand I use is ';Stitch Witchery'; (TM), and it's available in the notions departments of fabric or crafts stores. There may be other brands available, as well.





Under the heat of the iron, the adhesive material melts a bit between the other two fabrics, and then, as it cools, it bonds them together pretty permanently. It has always worked well for me.





Check to see how the edge did - you might want to go around the edge of the logo with a few hand-sewn stitches, just to make sure the edge lies perfectly flat. But you may find you don't need to.





Good luck with your project!
