Woven Cotton Fusible Interfacing 22 x 25 yards

This 100% cotton interfacing from Callie Del® is the perfect choice for those times when you need crisp support for medium weight woven and knit fabrics like oxford cloth, chambray, gingham, flannel, and polyester/cotton blends.

• For use on cuffs, collars, yokes, pockets, facings, and other detailed areas that need crisp support in your garment sewing.
• Use as a stabilizer for T-shirt quilt blocks.
• Adds body and permanent stability for needlework and punch needle projects. Simply fuse on the back side of your base material.
• Sewing machine safe.
• If pre-shrinking is desired before applying to project, place in a bowl or sink of warm water and allow to soak for 15 minutes or more. Gently ring out and hang to dry. Do not place in washer or dryer by itself or you could remove the fusible side.
Use Instructions:
Note* It is always recommended to test the product on a scrap piece from your project before applying interfacings to the entire piece so you can adjust pressing times and heat as needed.
1. It is recommended to prewash your fabrics and garments without fabric softeners to achieve the best bond of interfacing to fabric. Interfacings do not need to be prewashed.
2. Cut interfacings according to pattern instructions.
3. Preheat your iron to a medium or wool setting with NO STEAM.
4. Place the rough side – or glue side – on the back side or wrong side of the materials to be fused.
5. Cover with a light, dry pressing cloth. Press and hold the iron in place with medium pressure for 10-12 seconds. Repeat by lifting the iron and placing in the next area, slightly overlapping the first until the entire surface is bonded.
6. Adjust pressing times as needed for various weights of fabrics
7. After ironing, let the pieces cool before continuing with assembly process.

• Care: Machine wash warm and tumble dry medium. Dry cleanable.

The Clover Precision Stiletto is a natural for any application that requires detailed ironing or stitching. The Precision Stiletto is perfect for holding fabric in place for precision pressing. Doll clothes, applique, mitered corners, or any other close or small work can be held safely in place while ironing. Use either the pointy or the grippy tip, whichever is most suitable. Iron right up against the grippy tip for more precision. The Precision Stiletto is equally adept at the sewing table. Fabric manipulation across the needle plate of either a serger or a sewing machine can pose problems with the confluence of needles, feed dogs, presser feet, pins, fabric and fingers, all in a very small space. How do you keep track of all of that? The stiletto allows us to hold the fabric sans hands right up to where the action takes place. This prevents any painful punctures or pinches and allows more visibility and control of our stitching. Again, use which ever tip meets the needs of your fabric and sewing applications.
