Carol Doak's Foundation Paper

Ref: 10502

In stock

Discover Easy Paper Piecing with Carol Doak’s Foundation Paper! 100 sheets per pack. Sheet size 8 1/2" x 11".

• Use in most inkjet or laser printers or copy machines
• No shrinking, curling, or turning brittle!
• Holds up beautifully during stitching; tears away easily when you're done

What makes Carol Doak’s Foundation Paper different?
• It’s lightweight (won’t create bulk when you join sections)
• It’s absorbent (less ink transfer where you don’t want it)
• It’s non-coated (fabric won’t slip on it)

Tips for Easy Use
When using a photocopier, inkjet or laser printer: Fill paper tray with Carol Doak's Foundation Paper and print or copy your pattern. You may also hand-feed single sheets.
When tracing: Lay a sheet of Carol Doak's Foundation Paper over pattern in book or magazine and place both over a light source. Trace with a fine-point permanent marker. A photocopy of the pattern is easier to handle than the actual book or magazine - just make sure the copy is exactly the same size as the pattern.
Pressing: Use a dry iron on a cotton setting and a press cloth on your ironing board cover to protect it from excess ink.

Wool Pressing Mat 8-1/2

Wool Pressing Mat 8-1/2" Square, Gypsy Quilter

Ref: 13455

In stock

A wool mat is a handy tool for quick pressing when kept next to your sewing machine.

{Details}
Felted Wool Pressing Mat 100% Premium Wool – Press any pieced or embroidered block with ease. The density of this high-quality 100% felted wool mat absorbs seams and stitches, effectively pressing both sides at once. Block knitted projects as well by pinning them directly to the mat. An added bonus? The texture of the wool stops fabrics from shifting so there is no distortion when pressing. Made in USA

{Video}

{Safety & Usage}
The pressing mat can be used with a dry iron on most surface.
If using steam, place the mat on a protected surface since moisture does go through the mat and can harm the surface below.
Never place the mat on a rotary cutting mat when pressing. The heat could warp the cutting mat.
If mat feels damp after use, hang to air-dry before storing.
Wash the mat occasionally by rinsing it in cold water and hanging the mat until dry – especially if using a spray starch.
Safe surfaces include Formica, Corian, stone, and metal (an ironing board).
Wood and painted surfaces should be avoided
