GENERAL DIRECTIONS:

Step 1 – Trim and Steam Baste

Pin pattern piece to interfacing following grainline arrows; cut. Trim seam allowances to ¼” (6mm). Next place fusible side of Pellon on wrong side of fabric. Pin, then steam baste along edges with tip of iron. Remove pins.

Step 2- Fuse

Cover with a DAMP cloth. Set iron on wool/steam setting: Press firmly for full 10-12 seconds. Repeat, lifting and slightly overlapping iron until all interfacing is fused. Steam press on right side. Let fabric cool, then check bond.

Use steam iron with metal sole plate. Hand-held steamers will not permanently bond interfacing to fabric.

Tip:

Use your damp press cloth as a temperature and timing guide. After 10-15 seconds, press cloth should be dry. If not, raise iron temperature or hold iron in place a few seconds longer.
