Can Wonder Web Be Used on Upholstery?

🧵 Wonder Web and Upholstery — Does It Work?

Wonder Web is a fusible hemming tape designed mainly for clothes and home fabrics like curtains. But can it be used on upholstery such as cushions, sofa covers, or chair fabric?

The answer: Yes, but only in certain situations. Upholstery fabric is usually thicker and under more stress than clothing, so results may vary.

✅ When Wonder Web Works on Upholstery

Wonder Web can be a useful temporary or light repair for:

• Cushion covers (hemming edges, fixing seams)
• Lightweight slipcovers
• Decorative trims (attaching lace or ribbon)
• Small tears on fabric surfaces

Tip: Use Extra Strong Wonder Web (20mm) for the best bond on heavy fabrics.

❌ When Wonder Web Isn’t Suitable

Wonder Web is not ideal for:

• High-stress areas (armrests, seat cushions, heavy-use spots)
• Very thick upholstery (like leather or heavy canvas)
• Permanent structural repairs

For these cases, sewing or professional reupholstery is more reliable.

🔧 How to Apply Wonder Web on Upholstery

1. Cut fabric or cover neatly where you want the hem/repair
2. Place Wonder Web tape between the fabric layers
3. Cover with a damp cloth
4. Press firmly with a hot iron for 15–20 seconds
5. Allow to cool fully before use
