The bond between a fusible interfacing and the fabric is intended to be a permanent bond. First, remember this all important combination of elements for successful fusing:
STEAM, PRESSURE AND TIME!
|
Step 1 Iron setting - Wool and Steam (irons vary - you may need to set yours higher or lower to find the proper fusing temperature.) Step 3 Effect of heat and pressure squeezes softened resins into fashion fabric. Step 5 Cooling time is as important as fusing time - Let cool completely before handling.
|
Step 2
Use downward pressure for 10-15 seconds each position. Do not glide iron back and forth, but lift and press. Step 4 Some moisture is needed, never soaking wet. Press cloth dampened or misted only. Step 6 Record and file your test results - even the rejects - for future reference. |
