Planning on interfacing your fabric for you next sewing project. Here are some quick tips on how to properly fuse your interfacing to your fabric.
-
Iron setting - Wool and Steam (irons vary - you may need to set yours higher or lower to find the proper fusing temperature.)
-
Place a damp cloth over your fabric and interfacing when pressing. Don’t press your iron directly on the interfacing… this just makes a mess.
-
Use downward pressure for 10-15 seconds each position. Do not glide iron back and forth, but lift and press.
-
Effect of heat and pressure squeezes softened resins into fabric.
-
Some moisture is needed. Keep a spray bottle on hand and keep your pressing cloth damp. Do not soak your fabric though.
-
Let cool completely before handling.
