Step-by-Step Instructions for Using Wonder Under

Master the process of using Wonder Under with clear, step-by-step guidance. From preparing fabric to fusing designs, achieve professional results with ease and precision every time.

4.1 Preparing Fabric and Tools

Start by pre-washing fabrics to remove coatings and soften them. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can interfere with adhesion. Gather essential tools: a hot, dry iron, a pressing cloth, and sharp scissors. Ensure fabrics are dry and wrinkle-free for optimal results. Place the rough side of Wonder Under against the wrong side of the fabric, ready for tracing or fusing. Use a pressing cloth to protect delicate fabrics during ironing.

4.2 Tracing and Cutting Designs

Trace your desired design on the smooth side of Wonder Under using a pencil or marker. Place the rough side against the wrong side of fabric and press with a hot, dry iron for 5-8 seconds. Let cool, then cut out the design precisely. Use sharp scissors or rotary tools for clean edges. Ensure the design is mirrored if needed for the correct orientation after fusing.

4.3 Fusing the Web to Fabric

Place the rough side of Wonder Under against the wrong side of your fabric. Use a hot, dry iron to press firmly for 5-8 seconds. Ensure the iron is set to the appropriate temperature for your fabric type. Let the fabric cool completely before handling to ensure a strong bond; For intricate designs, use a pressing cloth to prevent scorching and achieve even fusion.

4.4 Applying the Design

Once fused, carefully peel the paper backing from the Wonder Under. Position the fabric with the fused design onto your project material. Press again with a hot, dry iron for a few seconds to secure the design. Ensure the fabric is cool to avoid shifting. Use a pressing cloth if needed for delicate materials; This step ensures a permanent and even bond for your appliqué or design.

Safety Precautions

Always use a pressing cloth to avoid direct contact with the fusible web. Keep the iron soleplate clean and avoid steam to prevent damage. Handle hot tools carefully and follow instructions to ensure safe application and avoid accidents during the process.

5.1 Handling Heat and Iron

Always use a hot, dry iron without steam when working with Wonder Under. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and fusible web to prevent damage. Ensure the iron soleplate is clean and free from residue. Avoid overheating, as this can damage the fusible web. Never leave the iron unattended, and keep it out of reach of children to ensure safe application and handling.

5.2 Avoiding Common Mistakes

Avoid using fabric softener or steam, as they can interfere with the fusible web’s adhesion. Ensure fabric is pre-washed and dry before applying Wonder Under. Never iron the web while it’s hot; allow it to cool slightly. Properly align the rough side of the web with the fabric to prevent peeling. Always follow the manufacturer’s temperature and pressing time guidelines for optimal results and lasting adhesion;

Machine Washing and Care

Machine wash garments with Wonder Under in warm water. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can reduce adhesion. Tumble dry on low or air-dry for best results.
