"The picture above is a close-up shot of a stitched shirt. Typically, when you use a washing machine frequently for your shirts, the threads that hold them together can get cut. Once these threads are cut, your shirt becomes brittle every time you wash it in a washing machine. This applies whether the shirt is expensive or cheap. Once those threads become loose, your t-shirt will develop holes. One of the best ways to preserve your shirt and prevent the threads from loosening is to hand wash it. However, let's face it, hand washing can be a tedious task, especially if you have a large amount of laundry. Washing machines make our lives easier. So, I've come up with a method to maintain the durability of our shirts even when using a washing machine, and that is by securing the threads with fabric glue.

Fabric glue is very affordable and can be purchased online or in bookstores. Typically, people use it for creating costumes without using traditional stitching. However, I use it to make the threads adhere to the fabric, and I've achieved good results. I tried it on a cheap t-shirt before my accident, and I didn't notice any threads coming loose. To ensure the best results, make sure your shirt is inside out when applying the fabric glue, as you wouldn't want any residue to be visible. Additionally, choose colorless fabric glue.

I know how to sew a few things, my mother taught me, but fabric glue can really be a cheap and easy to apply solution. It seems something that anyone can do.

Fabric glues can help you mend your clothes yourself instead of taking it to the tailor and that would save you money.

I use it to reinforce the seams that are getting weak in my clothes and they become firm again.

I just used fabric glue on my shooes but it didn't last long. I think all materials are made to not absorb fabric glue so we must new shooes or other clothes.

To be honest I didn't even know fabrics had glues, but am sure it can be used for only specific materials.

Fabric glue is more effective than stitching the clothes. And it costs far less to use a fabric glue. You can do it yourself. For stitching, a tailor must use a machine to do it.
