How To Use and Select Batting


 

How To Use Fuse Tape

Two different kinds of fabric fuse tape. 

Use to create a clean edge (hem) on your fabric edges. 

See me as I have one or both in the studio. 




Peel and Stick



Need to iron. 
Do not allow the tape to touch the iron as it will ruin the iron. 
For a long length (surface pattern design assignment), you will have use straight pins to keep tape in place. As you iron, pull out straight pins. Iron and straight pins available in the studio.
