Hi really need wonderweb (iron on stuff for taking up hems) for a wedding Im going to this week does anyone know where sells it (apart from Hickey's cos am nowhere near one!) Thanks
I think I got it on Tesco a while back. It wasnt the Wonderweb brand, it was some generic brand. It was grand initially but it dissolved after two washes.
If you are anywhere near town then the dry cleaners around the corner from the Screen cinema, beside the Long Stone Pub, sells it (or certainly used to anyway).
I use it all the time - the trick is to use a wet (not soaking) facecloth over the fabric you are ironing (generates steam which sets the adhesive) & make sure the wundaweb is absolutely straight with no creases or bumps. It certainly lasts more than 2 washes and is far quicker than hand hemming a garment
Thanks guys will try a couple of those places, tailor is very expensive and the material is silk type material so think the tailor would end up using the same stuff !
Another city centre location for you - there's a Singer Sewing Machine shop on Talbot St (near Gardiner St) which sells the easy-hem (can't remember if it's actually Wondaweb or a clone).
