I heard that shoegoo works really well, I usually hand sew everything, but my sewing jobs aren't that great.

Do you think shoegoo would work better? I've tried fabric glue, but that stuff just peels off.
ShooGoo is amazing for attaching netting, much better than sewing. Is very strong, and also distributes the load of tearing over a larger area (picture a splotch of ShooGoo, typical application settles down to about 1/2" to 3/4", where sewing stays in place at maybe 1/8" of fabric), is rubbery enough to be a bit flexible, but strong enough that you will have a hard time tearing it off by hand.
