| Experience ultimate sheer softness with your appliqué projects even when layering! Select Appli-Web is an ultra-lightweight permanent fusible web. Its unique flexible nature maintains the hand of the fabric with no bulk! Because Select Appli-Web comes in a free form (no paper backing), use it not only for appliqué but also for many other craft and quilt applications, such as fiber-art, paper appliqué, bonding fabric strips for a decoupage effect, yarn embellishment and more! It’s needle friendly; a Teflon or parchment pressing sheet is recommended for use during the fusing process. |
Directions for Use and Care
For Appliqué
- Trace or draw the design pieces directly onto Appli-Web.
- Trim around the image, leaving at least ¼˝ inch of the Appli-Web outside the traced lines.
- Using a Teflon or parchment pressing sheet to protect your iron, fuse Appli-Web to the wrong side of decorative fabric. Use a medium temperature on your iron (no steam) with firm pressure; hold the iron in place for several seconds until a bond is achieved.
- After the piece has cooled, cut out the appliqué precisely using the trace lines.
- Position the appliqué piece on the base fabric or garment.
- Once the appliqué is in place, use your iron to press and set the bond. Use a medium/high iron temperature and hold the iron to the appliqué for several seconds, taking care to not scorch your fabric. *Press again on the fabric side for maximum bonding.
- Finish by stitching around the appliqué with a satin stitch or your favorite decorative stitch if desired.
Tips
All irons heat differently. The iron temperature given above is a starting point. If you find that you are not getting a good fuse, slowly increase your iron temperature until you achieve a good bond. Also, remember to press from both sides of the appliqué and apply pressure with your iron! Test before beginning your project!
