Bear Threads Pressing Sheet with Polygon

It's not often that we find a product that we believe in so strongly, that we want to share it with others. The Bear Threads applique pressing sheet is one of those rare finds.

You may use this applique pressing sheet and multi-purpose craft sheet as:

  1. Bear Threads Pressing SheetAn applique sheet for pre-assembling quilting blocks and applique pieces
  2. An pressing cloth, including for painted pieces, photo transfers, and over paper piecing
  3. An craft sheet - hot glue peels right off, as do any glues, wax, clays, or stiffening projects
  4. For kids crafts - protects all surfaces and cleans up easily
  5. A painting palette: projects won't stick and paints peel off when dry
  6. For baking projects that don't contain oil such as shrink-art, clays, and salt dough

 

Step One

  1. Trace off all your applique pattern pieces onto a fusible webbing and be sure to number them.
  2. Cut them roughly apart.
  3. Fuse these transferred pattern pieces to your chosen fabrics
  4. Cut apart exactly on the pattern lines.
  5. Take your pattern layout diagram (as shown below) and place it on your clean ironing board.

  5. Repeat these steps until all the applique pattern pieces have been used.

Pressing Sheet

 

To clean the pressing sheet simply rub off any excess fusing medium. If the whole sheet is covered, just use an extra scrap of fabric and press to the top (gunk covered) side of the sheet (sheet is multi-sided).

When cool, simply peel the fabric off and any 'gunk' from the sheet will have transferred to the fabric. You may also wash the sheet using soapy water - and a soft scrub will remove any ink from pattern transfers.

The double-sided, reusable pressing sheet is made from ultra high temperature glass and coated with non-stick Polygon™; 13" x 17". Just roll up for storage.

Bear Threads guarantees this pressing sheet (when used as directed) for 5 years. The guarantee is included in the package.

Did You Know

 

The word appliqué comes from the French word appliquer, meaning to put on or to lay on.

As a method of decoration, appliqué has been a popular technique and has a long history, with the earliest known example being a canopy of leather in Egypt believed to date from 980 BC. However, it is highly likely that other cultures were using appliqué before this time.

Over the centuries many different materials have been used in appliqué, including beads, fabric, fish scales, and leaves. They have been sewn on to almost any stitchable material imaginable: linen, beaten bark, leather, and much more.

Appliqué is widely used throughout the world, as in many cultures it is common to decorate oneself and one’s surroundings.

Various cultures have even developed their own style of appliqué; for example, the Cuna Indians of the San Blas Islands off the coast of Panama have developed a style of appliqué called mola work.
