Iron on Vinyl Tutorial for Your Convenience
by Brian Fritz
Recently, I discovered how iron on vinyl works and I cannot wait to share this to everyone. So, to those of you who are interested, here are the easy steps to create this wonderful project using iron on vinyl.
Before anything else, you need to prepare all of your materials. Cut the fabric pattern that you wanted to be covered with vinyl. Place the right side from the fabric facing up after which make certain the corners are free of excess thread as well as fluff. Lay it down neatly to smooth wrinkles and folds. After that, prepare your vinyl for the next step. Cut the vinyl according to the size of the fabric. Get your vinyl prepared by ripping it well in the shielding paper. We will be using the protective paper so you might as well save it for later. A single suggestion to create the ripping off simpler would be to chafe the corners from the vinyl in between your thumb and fingers.
Once the vinyl has been removed from the protective paper, flatten out the vinyl onto the fabric. Again, make sure that the sticky side of the vinyl is facing the fabric. Secure the placement to ensure there are no wrinkles and folds on any of the fabric and vinyl. Preheat your iron according to the guidelines indicated on the vinyl. For the next step, have your protective paper available. Ironing directly on the vinyl will melt it, which will not only waste it but will also destroy the project. In that case, it is important to arrange the fabric at the bottom and then followed by the vinyl. When ironing, the protective paper must be on top to protect the vinyl from melting under the iron heat.
When ironing the vinyl on the fabric, follow the directions on heating the vinyl. The perfect degree of heat and pressure relies on the model of the vinyl which means you must read cautiously. Repeat the same manner of ironing on the reverse side of the fabric. This time around, you will no longer want the protecting paper considering that you can immediately iron the material without wrecking it.
Once the vinyl has been applied, you can now cut it out and sew it like a regular fabric. Customize your <b><a href="http://www.expressionsvinyl.com/pages/iron-on-vinyl.html">iron-on vinyl</a></b> project to your own choice of color and pattern to make it more personal. Voila! You now have your very own water resistant fabric.
