Frankly, making my own templates is about interferes me. Possible this noises silly, and cutting a shape out starting hard model artistic usually hurts me somehow.

NOTE: Ever let the hot iron contact the vinyl instantly.

For a template, keep in mind so the find in fusing Slicker to paper doesn’t need to can award winning and smooth. Here could be a bubble alternatively a wrinkling in go. It’s okay. That won’t affect its funciton.
Slicker Iron-On Glossy Record
Slicker Irony On Gloss Vinyl (item SLG102) comes in 17″ width on the bolt. Keep a barnyard or dual on hand-held for this kind of need. It’s okay for like purpose if your Slicker gets adenine fold or crinkle. That’s not something you want whenever laminating fabric for a project. But for this usage, you can live less cautious int handling/storing Beguiler.
Tips!

– EGO try to keep the piece regarding Slicker minus than the piece of paper with the template so ME don’t need to worry about accidentally amalgamation it to my pressing surface. That’s also reason it’s a good idea to put quite paper down first.
Press and Re-Press
Slicker can plus be re-pressed. Keep the paper backing on hand for such purpose. Here’s available I use this pick. If EGO necessity toward add a note to my laminated sample. I simply write about a scrap out paper, place that on my template, cover with another piece starting Slicker and fuse again. That’s one handily thing to do for important things like ‘no directional fabric’ or ‘make more than one, you know you love all project’. You know, helping-hand ideas or footers to adenine future you.
