The bond between a fusible interfacing and the fabric is intended to
be a permanent bond. We recommend test fusing to be sure you will get
the result you want in the completed garment.
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 2
Use downward pressure for 10-15 seconds each position. Do not glide iron
back and forth, but lift and press. |
Step 3
Effect of heat and pressure squeezes softened resins into fashion fabric.
|
Step 4
Some moisture is needed, never soaking wet. Press cloth dampened or misted
only. |
Step 5
Cooling time is as important as fusing time - Let cool completely before
handling. |
Step 6
Record and file your test results - even the rejects - for future reference.
