Patches are not staying on my couch? REQUEST

Post image

This couch is less than a month old and my puppy decided he’d “decorate” it. I’ve tried fabric glue, I’ve tried adhesive patches, I’ve tried using a hair dryer over the patch to help it stick. Nothing seems to be working for me and I don’t want to have to buy an iron unless I really need to..

That will need sewing. I recommend a curved needle and some extra strong thread.

maybe i’m silly but does a curved needle really work better than a normal one for angles like this?

Yes, it goes in and back out at regular intervals quite easily without having to put pressure on the fabric itself to do it like you would with a straight needle.

As well as it popping out from the back without being able to reach the “back” of the fabric
