The Craft & Appliqué Sheet™ has so many uses that you'll want one beside your iron at all times! Use it for fusible appliqué, as a craft sheet or a pressing sheet. The coating provides a non-stick surface for fusible appliqué and its transparency allows clear viewing when aligning pattern pieces to the placement guide. I have mentioned this product in my instructions for fusible web and fusible interfacing appliqué techniques but want to elaborate with the following step-by-step instructions. 

Instructions

1. Prepare all pattern pieces for fusible web or fusible interfacing appliqué - see related instruction sheets for these methods.

2. Place the pattern placement guide under the pressing sheet. Pin to keep from shifting.

3. Align your first appliqué piece with the outline of the design from the placement guide. Lay the pattern piece fusible side down on the pressing sheet. Press and lift the iron to fuse in place - do not slide.

4. Continue placing each piece and fusing in place until you have layered the entire design. With some designs, there will be sections of the design that are layered on top of larger pieces - if you placed the larger piece first, you would block the outline view of the other pieces that are on top. To work around this, first fuse the smaller front pieces as a unit, let it cool and peel off the unit, and place and fuse the larger back piece. Now fuse the front pieces onto the larger back piece.

5. Let the fabric cool completely before peeling off the entire design as a completed unit.

6. Now you are ready to fuse your design onto your background fabric or project.
