| Iron
on Instructions
You can use these MOTIFS on Cotton, Ribbed Cotton, Velour, Georgette,
Satin, Lycra, Wool, Straw or Canvas and of course handbags, shoes,
wooden trays, picture frames and tiles. Any flat ironable surface
that can be ironed is "Motif-Able".
The motifs will not come off whatever they have been ironed onto
provided instructions have been specifically followed. Caution:
Lycra can be very challenging.
We suggest heat testing the fabric first and never ironing for more
than 10 seconds one time only.
DO NOT use on Suede, Velvet and some treated Leathers.
If you are using a THIN material double your ironing cloth.
- Select your Motif
- Preheat iron on HOTTEST, usually LINEN. DRY heat only, no steam.
ALSO REMEMBER TO FOLLOW CLOTHING MANUFACTURERS HEAT SETTINGS FOR
HOTTEST HEAT WHEN IRONING.
- Remove white backing paper and position the design (which is
still attached to
the clear "sticky" paper) on the garment, handbag, placemat
etc.
- Cover the design with 'Glad Bake', an ironing cloth, or a tea
towel. DO NOT
USE A HANDKERCHIEF or PAPER - (they are not heavy enough).
- For most fabrics, iron for only 20 seconds. Cool. Repeat this
process again.
For delicate fabrics, 10 seconds only. Cool, then repeat. For
denims and heavier
fabrics, 20 - 35 seconds. Repeat. Move the iron around, do not
let it "sit" on the
fabric. If the MOTIF is large, iron it in sections.
- Let your MOTIF now cool for at least 3 minutes. It must be absolutely
cold
before you remove the plastic.
- SLOWLY peel off the clear plastic sheet. If ANY of the studs
or crystals
are still attached to the plastic, push the plastic back onto
the fabric and
RE-IRON (covered with Glad Bake etc) for the above mentioned times.
Again,
cool for three minutes. When the plastic comes off cleanly, your
MOTIF is set.
- Turn the garment inside out and iron
again on the reverse side for 10-15
seconds. You are finished!
*You can wash your garment in the washing machine, of course according
to
clothing manufacturers instructions. You can even put it through
the dryer. DO NOT DRY CLEAN! You can also iron on top of the MOTIF
by placing a cloth over the motif, if necessary.
