•Prepare the Fabric: Ensure the fabric is clean and free of any wrinkles. It's best to wash and dry the fabric before applying the adhesive to remove any sizing or dirt.
•Cut the Adhesive: Measure and cut the iron-on adhesive to the desired size and shape for your project. Make sure it covers the area you want to bond.
•Position the Adhesive: Place the adhesive with the adhesive side down on the fabric, where you want it to be attached. Make sure it's centered and properly aligned.
•Apply Heat: Set your iron to the appropriate temperature according to the instructions provided with the iron-on adhesive. Usually, it's recommended to use a dry, medium to high heat setting without steam.
•Cover with a Cloth: To protect the adhesive and fabric, place a thin cloth or parchment paper over the adhesive. This prevents the iron from directly touching the adhesive.
•Iron the Area: Gently press the iron over the cloth-covered adhesive area. Apply steady pressure for the recommended time (usually around 10-15 seconds), ensuring that the entire adhesive area gets heated evenly.
•Allow to Cool: Let the fabric cool for a moment, and then carefully remove the cloth covering the adhesive.
•Test Adhesion: After it has cooled down completely, test the adhesion by gently pulling on the fabric around the adhered area to ensure it's securely bonded.
•Complete the Project: Once the adhesive has properly bonded, you can continue with your project, whether it's repairing clothing, adding decorative elements, or hemming fabric.
