The present invention relates to a cloth bonding apparatus and a bonding method. The cloth bonding apparatus includes a foot-operated pedal (206) and a hand-operated operation portion (47). The operator depresses the pedal by foot or presses the operation portion by hand to perform the bonding operation. When the pedal is depressed, a gear pump (35), an upper feed roller (24) and a lower feed roller (25) rotate at rotational speeds corresponding to a pedal depression amount, and transport the cloth at a speed corresponding to the depression amount. An adhesive amount corresponding to the depression amount is discharged from a nozzle (45) onto the cloth. When the operation portion is pressed, the gear pump, the upper feed roller and the lower feed roller rotate at a constant speed, and the cloth moves at a constant speed. A constant adhesive amount is discharged from the nozzle.
