If you preshrink your fashion fabric, preshrink EASY-KNIT too by dipping is in warm water and letting it air dry. Washable and Dry cleanable. Machine wash WARM, machine dry LOW, iron at WOOL/STEAM setting ALWAYS PRE-TEST … fusing is not recommended for 100% nylon or acetate fabrics.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS Step1/Trim and Steam-Baste 1. Pin pattern piece to EASY-KNIT, following grainline arrows; cut. Trim seam allowances to ⅛” (3mm). Trim ¼” (6mm) at corners to reduce bulk. 2. Place fusible side of EASY-KNIT to wrong side of fabric. Pin, then steam-baste along edges with tip of iron. Remove pins.
Step 2/Fuse
1. Cover with a DMP press cloth. 2. With iron at wool/steam setting, press FIRMLY for full 10 seconds. Repeat, lifting and slightly overlapping iron until all interfacing is fused. 3. 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 seconds, press cloth chould be dry. If not, raise iron temperature or hold iron in place a few seconds longer.
