Traditional Appliqué using Web Magic:
Trace or print the design to be appliquéd onto the protective paper sheet of Web Magic. *Remember to use the 'reverse' of the image. Tip! Use a light box or trace at a window for accuracy!
Trim around the image leaving at least ¼ inch of Web Magic outside the traced lines.
Fuse Web Magic to the wrong side of decorative fabric using a medium/high temperature on your iron (No Steam). The fusible side of Web Magic is the soft/shiny side. Hold the iron in place for at least 3 seconds and then flip the piece over and press again on the fabric side.
After it has cooled, cut out the appliqué design using the trace lines.
Peel back the protective sheet to expose the sticky surface.
Position the appliqué piece on the garment and press in to place using a medium/high iron temperature. Hold the iron to the appliqué for at least 3 seconds. *Press on the appliqué side and the fabric side for maximum bonding.
Finish by stitching around the appliqué with a satin or decorative stitch.
**Remember that your traced image will be reversed once it is traced onto the paper side of Web Magic. Make adjustments to the original image to prevent this. **NOTE: 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 irons temperature until you achieve a good bond. Web Magic is also ideal for turning free standing embroideries into appliqués! Visit www.rnkdistributing.com for projects and ideas using this amazing appliqué product!
