Why use Misty Fuse for the Jeans Inseam Patch Repair?

Misty Fuse Webbing

The reason I love Misty Fuse adhesive is that it does not gum up my needle and this product is incredibly versatile!  Mistyfuse® is the environmentally-friendly fusible appliqué web—acid-free and made in a green industrial park here in the USA, without solvents or harsh chemicals, and without body modifiers or blow additives or sticky adhesives. It’s been extruded to an ultra-fine web for a stay-soft, strong bond without adding bulk. It will never gum-up needles. Mistyfuse is suitable for a wide variety of fabrics. Mistyfuse comes in White, Black and Mistyfuse Ultraviolet and is available in 20″ x 2½ yd or 10yd packages and also various Bolt options.

  3. I have been using this method of fixing jeans for more than 30 years. When you have a favorite pair of jeans you have to fix them. I don’t know how many pairs of crotches, lol, I have had to fix for my girls. They used to brag to their friends how their jeans won’t wear out because I could repair them. Teenagers don’t want a new pair, they like that old worn out look. I hope this tutorial helps lots of people, it’s great.

      I have used this method too and was glad when they came out with better fusibles. My grandmother made perfect patches on jeans and other farm clothes BY HAND with no fusible materials. I was happy to see your response and t see that I’m not the oly one!

  5. I’ve been using a broken zig zag stich to repair mine but this looks easier and less noticeable. My daughter just gave me a pair to fix and I’ll be using this method! Thanks!

      Hi Patti! I’m so glad you found this helpful! Good luck with your mending!

    Good morning Nicole, thank you so much for your tutorial, it will help me; however, one question, do you have any tip to repair a knee whole in a pair of jeans, a bit more tricky for me.

    Thank you!

    1. Nicole Moore says:

      Hi Louise,
      A knee repair is a little tricky because you cannot easily use your sewing machine.
      I would recommend a more decorative approach and some hand sewing!
      That is a great idea for a future lesson!

  7. Louise Ryan Granger says:

    Thank you Nicole! Hand sewing sashiko style is what I have been doing! Have a great day!
