A few more tips?

Some tips if you are thinking about ironing your Vlieseline...

First of all, make sure you have the right tools: Vlieseline adapted to your project, an iron and an ironing board. Start by preheating your iron to the recommended temperature for the fabric on which you are going to apply the Vlieseline . Place the fabric right side up on the ironing board, then position the Vlieseline onto the fabric with the adhesive side down. Make sure that the Vlieseline covers the entire desired area. Next, place a thin cloth or sheet of baking paper on the Vlieseline to avoid damage to iron or fabric. Press the hot cloth or sheet of parchment paper firmly with the iron, using slow, steady movements for about 10 to 15 seconds. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the Vlieseline with the heat of iron. Then, allow the fabric to cool completely before handling it. This will allow the Vlieseline to attach securely to the fabric. And there you have it, you have ironed your Vlieseline successfully!

...Here's another little tip for cutting your Vlieseline :

Start by placing your Vlieseline on a clean, flat work surface. Use a ruler to measure the amount of Vlieseline you need for your project. Mark the measurements with a pen or pencil on the Vlieseline . Then use sharp scissors to cut out the Vlieseline according to the marks you made. It is important to cut the Vlieseline precise and regular movements to obtain clean edges. Make sure your scissors are clean to avoid transferring dirt or residue onto the Vlieseline If you need specific shapes, you can also trace the outlines on the Vlieseline and cut along the traced lines. Be sure to take your time and cut precisely to achieve the results you want. Once you have cut the Viseline, it is ready to use in your sewing project!
