InnerFuse™ Instructions
InnerFuse is a stiff interfacing with a double-sided fusible coating. Fusing fabric to both sides creates an instant lining, while the stiffness of the interfacing forms and maintains the shape of three dimensional projects.
InnerFuse is 75% polyester, 25% rayon. To launder, machine wash on gentle cycle with cold water, and tumble dry on low heat.
Do not put the iron in direct contact with InnerFuse. Protect pressing surface with a non-stick press cloth or parchment paper.
General instructions:
- Cut a piece of InnerFuse slightly larger than the project pattern, or the size needed to accommodate all the pattern pieces.
- Cut two pieces of fabric slightly larger than the piece of InnerFuse (one for each side of InnerFuse).
- Make an InnerFuse “sandwich”:
- Set iron to highest dry setting.
- Place InnerFuse on covered pressing surface.
- Place first fabric on InnerFuse, right side up.
- Use a “lift and press” motion to fuse, allowing 5-10 seconds of constant heat before picking up iron and moving to adjacent position. Do not slide iron over fabric.
-
Turn the fused layers over and repeat with the second piece of fabric on the other side (illus.1).
