MistyFuse
White, Black, Ultraviolet Packaging Information MistyFuse
is an environmentallyfriendly fusible that is solvent free and recyclable
It has been extruded to a very fine web to create a lasting bond without adding
bulk. - No extra adhesive to gum up your needles.
- Suitable
for a wide variety of fabrics from velvet and cottons to organza and delicate
tulle.
- Comes in 3 types:
- Black (fuses translucent black)
- White
(fuses clear)
- Ultraviolet (fuses clear)
NOTE: Ultraviolet
MistyfuseIn accelerated aging studies, exposure to UV rays have been shown
to cause fusibles to tan (darken). Especially on light colors, sheers or other
light weight fabrics, and surface use, tanning may read as a color shift or dark
spots. Mistyfuse Ultraviolet is specially formulated with an effective
retardant to protect against the tanning effect of UV rays — without sacrificing
any of the inherent Mistyfuse qualities you expect and trust. Mistyfuse Ultraviolet
is white and fuses clear. Esterita Austin's Sandwich 1.
Between sheets of parchment paper (test your parchment for suitability first)
or a Teflon pressing sheet, layer your fabric right side up over a slightly larger
piece of MistyFuse. (NOTE: Both sides of MistyFuse are identical,
so both sides are "right".) 2. Iron to lightly apply the fuse
to your fabric. (Let the fabric be your guide for iron temperature and time.)
Allow to cool, then remove fused fabric. Use a rotary cutter or scissors to trim
out your shape. You now have appliqué ready, fused back fabric. 3.
Place or pin the trimmed piece into position on your quilt top; move it around
to find the right position. To permanently fuse the piece down, first cover with
parchment paper of a Teflon sheet. Use a hot iron and firm pressure (adjust the
heat according to the fabric.) Great Tips for using MistyFuse 1.
Layer just MistyFuse between sheets of parchment, then iron. Allow to cool, remove
one sheet only of parchment and you know have reliable paper backed MistyFuse.
2. Draw, trace, or print your pattern onto parchment first,
then sandwich with fuse and fabric, or just fuse. 3. When MistyFuse is
placed against the printed side of parchment, then ironed, the ink transfers
to the fuse, which can then be ironed to another fabric. 4. Create
"duplex" sheets by fusing different or contrasting sheers together.
MistyFuse will prevent the trimmed edges from fraying. 5. Paint
MistyFuse, then use it under a sheer or just fuse it down onto fabric. 6.
Lay Angelina fibers on a sheet of parchment. Cover with MistyFuse then
parchment, then iron. Even build more layers with more fuse, Angelina, glitter
paper, whatever. The fused "fabric" can now be trimmed and fused to
other fabric. 7. Add a freezer paper template (shiny side down) on top
of fabric. Cover with parchment, iron, cool, and remove from parchment. Trim to
the edge of the template and then remove the template. You now have a fabric shape
which can be fused in place. 8. Lay foil sheet (foil side up) on
a sheet of parchment. Cover with MistyFuse then parchment, then iron. Remove parchment
paper and back side of foil sheet. This now can be ironed to another fabric or
you can build more layers. |
