Heat N' Bond is not recommended for projects or items that require dry cleaning.
my opinion of this brand..
it's def strong and did not pucker fabrics i joined together
the only thing is that it stiffens the end fabric quite a bit
i would like to find one that keeps the original handle of the fabrics -pliable, soft..
