To use Quilt Magic Plus:
-
If using a fabric that has a risk of shrinkage, it is advised to pre-shrink the fabric by pre-washing.
-
Pre- shrink Quilt Magic Plus Double Fusible Fleece by gently steaming (do not touch the iron surface to the fleece) just before pressing it to the fabric.
-
Try something fun and different!! If your goal is to have an antiquated looking quilt, do not pre-wash or pre-shrink your fabric and/or fusible fleece. When washed in warm water the fabric will slightly draw around the fused fleece creating a very unique quilted look. This technique works beautifully with redwork designs on premium quilt cotton.
Fusing Quilt Magic Plus between Fabrics:
** Because Quilt Magic Plus has a fusible coating on both sides, it is important to have a pressing sheet or parchment paper on hand when using to protect your iron and/or ironing board
-
Line your pressing surface with a piece of parchment paper or pressing sheet.
-
Align your fabric over the fleece and place on your pressing surface.
-
Press with your iron to bond the fleece to the fabric. (Do not use a “back and forth” motion, pick the iron up and move it each time) Steam is not necessary but will not harm the fleece if you use it while pressing the item. Be sure your iron touches the fabric, NOT the fleece. Use a second pressing sheet or a piece of parchment paper between your iron and cloth if necessary. **Remember that steam will cause slight shrinkage in your fleece and fabric. Prep your materials by pre-shrinking if this is not your overall goal for the piece you are working on.
**Just like traditional quilt batting, it is also recommended to cut Quilt Magic Plus at least one inch larger than your fabric piece and then trim to size once it is fused in to place.
**Because all irons vary in temperature settings, it is important to do some testing before beginning your project. Start at a lower setting when fusing the fabric to fleece and gradually increase the heat setting until you get a good fuse!
