What is a Vlieseline iron-on?

Vlieseline iron-on adhesive is a material used to reinforce fabrics. It is applied using heat, usually with an iron. Once applied, it provides greater support to the fabric without completely stiffening it. It's a practical solution for stabilizing thin or stretchy fabrics.

The Vlieseline brand is renowned for the quality of its iron-on products. It offers a wide selection suitable for different types of fabrics and uses. There are several forms: woven, non-woven, and fleece. The choice depends on the project and the fabric to be reinforced.

Vlieseline iron-on adhesive is used for:

• Reinforce a fragile fabric, such as fine cotton or viscose.
• Stabilize pieces when sewing: pockets, belts, facings.
• Give hold to elements such as collars or cuffs.
• Create more rigid and resistant bags, kits or accessories.
• Prepare a fabric for embroidery or patchwork.

How to use Vlieseline iron-on adhesive correctly?

To successfully apply Vlieseline iron-on adhesive, you need to follow a few simple steps:

1. Start by preparing your fabric: iron it to remove wrinkles and moisture.
2. Then place the iron-on adhesive on the back of the fabric, glue side against the textile.
3. Set your iron to the recommended temperature (usually indicated on the label).
4. Apply firm pressure for 8 to 15 seconds without moving the iron.
5. Use a thin cloth between the iron and the iron-on to avoid burning the fabric.
6. Allow to cool completely before handling the part to ensure proper fixation.

Mistakes to avoid

There are some common mistakes to avoid when applying iron-on adhesive successfully:

• Failure to follow the recommended temperature may damage the fabric or iron-on.
• Avoid moving the iron while applying, as this can cause creases or uneven bonding.
• Never apply the iron-on adhesive without a protective cloth, as this may burn or damage the fabric.
• Sticking the iron-on on the wrong side prevents it from sticking properly.
  Neglecting cooling time may result in premature detachment.
• Applying insufficient pressure reduces the effectiveness of the bond.
• Choosing an iron-on adhesive that is unsuitable for your fabric compromises the hold and quality of the finish.
