So Easy to Use and introducing New Benefits:
* New grid paper aids in tracing
* Easy to see through and write on
* Now printer friendly!

Step 1 – Trace or Print your design onto the grid paper. Before sending it through your ink-jet printer, cut the Steam-A-Seam 2 to size (8.5″ x 11″).
‹Do not use with a laser printer.›
Step 2 – Peel off the plain release paper and Stick your traced design onto the wrong side of your fabric.
Step 3 – Cut out your design along your traced lines.

Step 5 – Iron Press for 20+ seconds to activate the fusible web and create a permanent bond. If you would like do a finishing stitch, it’s recommended to use a steam iron and to iron press for 30+ seconds.

Steam-A-Seam 2 will not gum up your needle.

Tips for Using Steam-A-Seam 2 with Wool
To use Steam-A-Seam 2 or Lite Steam-A-Seam 2 with wool, or any dense and sensitive material, you need to iron press both the front and back of your design.
If available, using a steam iron is recommended.
Since the “wool” iron setting is a low temperature, you must iron press for a longer amount of time, until the Steam-A-Seam webbing is properly fused.
Please use caution as it is posible to burn wool fibers – do not iron press in one area for toolong.
Press for 45+ seconds and let it set to cool.

Product Care

  • Machine wash & dry finished projects without fabric softners or dry clean.
  • You may leave edges unfinished, but if you choose to sew through, make sure that the Steam-A-Seam 2® is fully fused with a steam iron – 30+ sec and let set before sewing.
  • When laundering, avoid using fabric softner. Fabric softner chemicals erode the fusible web over time.
