General Directions for using this stiff interfacing:

Use the Giant Non-stick Ironing and Craft Sheet under the product when ironing.

1. Cut Shapes which you have drawn or traced on the stiff interfacing and cut out. Cut fabric pieces 1/2" larger.
2. Place fabric right side up on top of the stiff interfacing and press with a hot dry iron for 5 seconds
3. Trim Trim fabric even with stiff interfacing.
4. Turn project over. Place 2nd piece of fabric on top of the stiff interfacing. Press with a hot dry iron for 5 seconds. Trim 2nd piece of fabric even with edge.
5. Press firmly with a hot iron and steam for 10 seconds to permanently fuse fabric to interfacing. Turn over to other side of fabric and repeat. Projects made with this interfacing can be machine washed in cold water and tumbled dry on low heat. But I don't plan to wash my ATCs or Journals!!

Angelina Fibres

Heat Bondable Angelina Fiber is a new, very fine, unique fiber. Light reflective, as well as light refractive, Angelina is incredibly luminescent, while (unlike regular metallics) it has an extremely soft hand. Blended with other fibers in amounts as small as 2%, it gives sparkle and highlight to your yarn. Imagine diamond-like dew drops on a spider's web and the iridescence of butterfly wings! Note that the base color is the color of the fiber when there is no direct light reflection. Every portion of the fiber has the potential to reflect to the viewer sparkles of color. This is what gives the fiber its lively "color in motion" quality. The effect can be like watching light dance off the surface of water.

Directions: Sprinkle some fibers onto freezer paper or an applique pressing sheet, cover over with another sheet of freezer paper or pressing sheet, and press layers with warm iron set at approximately 225 degrees (polyester setting). Lift off top layer, let cool and peel the resulting fiber sheet off the bottom. May have to scratch with your nail to get it started and then peel off.

Beeswax, each

for waxing unwaxed thread. Pull the thread quickly through the slots, so the friction melts a thin layer of wax on the thread. It reduces tangling and the thread bites on itself preventing slipping.
