FAQs

What type of needle should I use?

Use a fine needle appropriate for the fabric. For machine sewing, use a needle designed for sequins or beads.

Can I iron over the sequins?

No, do not iron directly over the sequins. The heat can melt or damage them. If necessary, iron the fabric from the reverse side, avoiding contact with the sequins.

How do I attach sequins by hand?

Thread your needle with a fine thread. Bring the needle up through the fabric, place a sequin, and then stitch back down through the hole in the sequin and the fabric. Repeat this process, knotting the thread securely at the end.

Can I use fabric glue to apply the sequins?

Yes, fabric glue can be used. Apply a small dot of glue to the back of the sequin, and then place it on the fabric. Allow it to dry completely.

Are these sequins suitable for children's clothing?

Use caution when applying sequins to children's clothing. Ensure sequins are securely attached to avoid a choking hazard.

How should I store leftover sequins?

Store the sequins in a sealed container or bag to prevent damage and keep them organized.

What if my sewing machine is skipping stitches?

Adjust the needle type, thread tension, and stitch length on your machine to accommodate the sequins. A specialized sequin foot may also help.

Troubleshooting

Sequins are falling off the fabric.

Check the stitching. Re-sew the sequins, ensuring tight stitches, or use a stronger adhesive.

Sequins are not laying flat.

Ensure the thread is not too tight, which can pull the sequins down. Adjust the tension on the thread.

Sequins are damaged during washing.

Hand wash the garment, or turn the garment inside out before machine washing on a delicate cycle.
