Aqua 膠水筆

I was a bit skeptical about gluing fabric instead of basting, but this marker saves me so much time when I’m setting in zippers—the liquid holds the layers perfectly while I sew, and it’s gone without a trace after.

The glue dries fast enough that I can press a zipper in place and start sewing almost immediately, which makes basting pins feel obsolete. I used it to tack down a stubborn braid on a hem and it held perfectly through the machine. Definitely my new go-to for tricky trims.

The tip is narrow enough to trace along a zipper tape without making a mess, and the glue grabs fast so the fabric stays put while I pin. I used it to baste a curved hem and it held through the machine stitching without shifting.
