Handy tips and techniques...Vliesofix
transitionsappliquévliesofixdrawingpointssquaresseams

I think Vliesofix ® (also known as) Wonder-Under® is the best thing since sliced bread!
Here are a few tips to help you get the best out of this product.
  • Use a mechanical pencil for all your drawing.

  • Always leave a small allowance of extra Vliesofix® outside of your drawn shape.


  • Cut on the drawn line after ironing to the fabric.
    This ensures a good seal to the fabric and means - no lifting and no fraying will occur.

  • Always have your iron set on cotton, and use a dry-iron setting.


  • To lift a iron-bonded piece, (don't like the colour?)

    Wet a handkerchief; squeeze out most of the water.
    Place handkerchief on the piece not needed, and place iron on and leave for a few seconds
    (piece should be hot and damp at this stage).
    Use a pin to lift a corner and peal off leaving little or no residue.
