"With Steam-A-Seam nothing is permanent until the final pressing.
If a fabric doesn't work the way I thought, I simply peel off the
Steam-A-Seam and put it on another fabric until I'm really satisfied with
the look. The tacky surface saves
time and fabric and keeps pieces in place until the final pressing."

"By far the best and most convenient fusible web I've found. Cuts down on steps and is much more user friendly. I just love it! I've tried them all and think it's the best."

Change your mind at any time!

Nothing is permanent until pressed with an iron. If you change your mind about the appliqué fabric you are using, simply peel off Steam-A-Seam and stick it to new fabric.

Since you haven't fused Steam-A-Seam to your applique material, you can remove it from your fabric scraps and use both the excess fabric and Steam-A-Seam for other projects. There is no waste.

"Sticky Back" vs. "Double Stick":
Two types of Steam-A-Seam are available. The bond is the same but you may prefer one over the other depending on your project.

The original, Steam-A-Seam Sticky Back, has the pressure sensitive adhesive (the "stick") on one side which allows for a temporary hold to the appliqué material. It shifts easily on the second material allowing you to quickly reposition your appliqué pieces until pressed with an iron for a permanent bond. Once fused the bond is the same as Steam-A-Seam 2.

Steam-A-Seam 2 Double Stick has the pressure sensitive on both sides which allows for a temporary hold to both the appliqué material and the background material. You can hold your project vertically and the appliqué pieces stay in place and are still repositionable until fused with an iron. Before fusing, tack your project to a wall or try on a garment to check appliqué placement. You're able to reposition pieces while you're wearing them. Once fused the bond is the same as the original Steam-A-Seam.

 

Steam-A-Seam Sticky Back
  • Trace appliqué pattern directly on the web.
  • Use with thick fabrics like Ultrasuede.
  • Easily cut intricate designs.
  • Use for large pieces of fabric.
  • Move appliqué pieces easily.
Steam-A-Seam 2 Double Stick
  • Stick entire appliqué in place before fusing.
  • Try on wearables or pin projects to the wall before fusing to check appliqué placement.
  • Set project aside and come back to it later; pieces won't shift out of place.


Once fused, Steam-A-Seam is washable and dry-cleanable. Unfinished edges won't lift or fray.

If you choose to finish the edges you can sew through the pressed appliqué without gumming up your needle or finish the edges with paint. We do not recommend drying with a dryer sheet.

excelent.

"We do not recommend using a fabric softener, sheet or liquid." Can you please tell me if this will remove an excess ring around an oval applique (cut wrong and ironed to minky fabric) or will it make it worse?

 

- Thank you for you're question! There is a component in fabric softener that deteriorates the adhesive bond in Steam-A-Seam. If you are looking to remove the ring without harming the project, try rubbing a dryer sheet directly on the fused area. You can also try throwing it in the wash with liquid fabric softener and dry it with 10-12 dryer sheets. However, if you have other appliques on your project that you are happy with, I suggest sewing those down first.

Love working with steam-a-seam 2. Am presently teaching Block of Month project at our Guild and am encouraging the girls to use it. Have one suggestion: could the throw away piece of paper be coloured or lined, so its easier to know which side you should be tracing your pattern pieces on, and which one is the throw away. It would be so much easier for teaching purposes. I got a free sample once, and your company name was printed on the throw away paper .. much more convenient. Great product. Really like it.
