I don't have an ironing board or muslin, but I do have a thick sweatshirt, a desk, and a t shirt, none of which I was gonna mind ruining accidentally. But it worked out perfectly with the same thing you did, no mess, no fuss, thanks!
Hi. Just want to ask if using steam iron is better than just pure hot iron in fabric laminating using fusible interfacing? I saw some video tutorial said use steam iron or sprinkle water on top then hot iron. But some articles said not to use steam iron and just pure hot iron. Im confused.
I waited for my iron to totally cool down, then used a paper towel and put goo gone on the paper towel, then just swirled that paper towel over the spots on my iron that had picked up the glue. Then I took another paper towel, wet it and went over the now cleaned areas. All good.
Hi Anastasia did you use your iron on steam please. I am having so much fun and games with my interfacing it’s driving me silly I have tried a hot iron and a medium but it’s still comes off.xx
@@WendysCraftDen I would try lots of steam! It’s possible the interfacing went bad too. You could always try a clapper on it too. What Does A Tailor's Clapper Do And How Do you Use It? ruclips.net/video/hOp-Sw6TqG8/видео.html
I always use muslin with fusible interfacing or anything that’s not 100% cotton. But somehow my iron is covered in black gunk! Thankfully I haven’t had an issue with it leaving residue on fabric. But how do I clean it or can you even clean it? I tried using a stainless steel cloth and that did absolutely nothing 😓
I’m new to garment making, so excuse me if I sound dumb. I’m a bit confused as to how the interfacing is cut to be smaller than the pattern piece. Does it start the same size and then you trim it? Or is there a separate pattern template for a smaller piece of interfacing? Thanks
Both, it depends. Sometimes a project will have a separate pattern piece for interfacing & sometimes it will not & you will want to cut it down. Great question!
If I’m using a pattern should I cut the interfacing using the pattern piece and cut my fabric an 1/8 of an inch bigger or cut my fabric with the pattern piece and cut the interfacing an 1/8 of an inch smaller? Great video!
I don't have a lot of experience using official patterns, but your interfacing should fit just inside the seam allowance of the fabric. That way you don't end up with interfacing stiffening the seam.
I'll tell you how; I'm a dude, I've taught myself how to use a sewing machine and I've done some basic garments and upholstery. Decided I want to make a formal vest; the pattern calls for fusible interfacing. The instructions on the package are very vague "use a wet towel and when the steam stops, you're done.". That doesn't cover things like not rubbing the piece to avoid stretching it, doesn't include covering your board to prevent it getting glued, etc. For someone like me, who is lacks the experience to know that this is just common-sense, this would could have been a major problem and I could have scrapped the only material I had on hand for this project. Seems dumb to some, but not all instructions are the same. And sometimes a little more context for WHY the instructions say what they do can make all the difference in getting it right on your first try.

@@daliaveyani I’m so happy it worked for you!
It's a great video but can I say I love your pink dress! You look absolutely lovely in it.😊
Awww thank you. I got it on a trip to Seattle in a vintage store. I tailored it up & it fits like a glove now 💕😊🥰
@@SewAnastasia It's so retro it hurts ❤
I need to give this a 👍👍
Please do 💕

Once you attach the interfacing like this, is it safe to run it through a sewing machine? Or will it damage it?
Yes you can sew through it.
I waited for my iron to totally cool down, then used a paper towel and put goo gone on the paper towel, then just swirled that paper towel over the spots on my iron that had picked up the glue. Then I took another paper towel, wet it and went over the now cleaned areas. All good.
Thanks for sharing your cleaning method! It’s always great to hear tips from fellow crafters. Keeping that iron in top shape is important!
Can I use parchment paper instead of muslin?
Are items that are made with fusible interfacing washable in the washing machine? Ty
Parchment paper should work. Fusible interfacing over time will wear away & fall apart. The strongest is woven sew in interfacing.
@@SewAnastasia thank you 😊

Can you use fusible when making valance curtains? Can I fuse then cut to exact shape and the edges of the fabric will not fray? Thanks!
Yes, absolutely
Great hack. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching.
Great video. Question… if you have fabric that need more stabilization can you fuse all the pattern pieces?
You sure can!
Could this stuff potentially stick fabric to card/cardboard?
Yes. I would use wonderunder or heat n bond.
Bey if I cut a pic of a old shirt can I use this to attach it to a new shirt ?
So cool, I love you 💕
Thank you for watching :)
Can I use it to hem a skirt?😊
You can use double fusible!
Wouldnt you use a nonstick surface instead of muslin?

@@SewAnastasia awesome! Thank you so much!
I should've watched this before attempting it freehand 😅
Oh no lol what happened?!
Thank you! Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank God I Googled this! 😂
Happy to help :)

What is a muzzlin?
Muslin is a loose plain weave cotton material.
A piece of cloth you put on top to not damage your ironing board or iron. You can use a dish towel too!
Muslin
How is this a problem..? It says right on the instructions to do this…
Live n learn my sewing friend 💖
