SEWING & PRESSING SUPPLIES
FUSIBLE INTERFACINGS
General Guidelines for Fusing: Cover the interfacing and fabric with a damp press cloth. Set the iron to wool and high steam. Put pressure on the iron and fuse for 10-12 seconds, using an up-and-down lifting motion with the iron. Use this procedure from both the wrong and right sides of the fabric to secure bonding.
