A tape to fuse or stick holds hems and edges before sewing begins. The stated size is 20 mm. Sold as 5 m. Made from 100 % polyamide.
A test on a scrap shows whether the fabric takes the bond and whether it still feels the same after washing. Zips, piping and pockets then sit exactly where they were planned instead of wandering while sewing. Sewing through an adhesive layer leaves residue on the needle; placing the seam just beside it saves the cleaning. The pack states the size, so buying more later stays easy.
What Prym Saumvlies 20 mm/ 5 m Länge 968168 is suitable for
- Fixing instead of basting
- Repairs to outdoor clothing
- Hems without a seam
Frequently asked questions
Does the bond survive washing?
Most products are washable once fully dry. The pack states the limit; for hot washes test on a scrap first to see how the spot feels afterwards.
Can it be removed again?
Only with difficulty and rarely without a trace. So align before pressing: as long as nothing is pressed, much can still be shifted. Heat softens some bonds again, though rarely without any trace.
How should it be stored?
Cool, dry and closed. Opened tubes and rolls last far longer when they are not left open in a warm sewing drawer. Tubes stored upright lose less and gum up at the cap less often.
Is it suitable for children's clothing?
Once dry there is nothing against it, unless the pack says otherwise. On babywear a seam still remains the more durable answer. As long as something still smells, it is not dry and does not belong on a child.
