no-sew
Stitch-free fabric method
No-sew describes craft projects that don't require needle and thread or a sewing machine.
No-sew methods typically use fabric glue, iron-on adhesive, or fasteners like snaps and Velcro: a no-sew fleece blanket, no-sew curtains.
The term appeals to crafters who lack sewing skills or equipment.
