1)
Cut the Floriani Wet N Gone
Fusible® one inch larger than the desired size.
2)
With the fusible side up arrange the yarns and threads the length
and width of the stabilizer.
3)
Place the pressing sheet on top of the yarns and threads and
press them into place with a low temperature iron. *Note: Don’t
“iron”, this will move the yarns and threads out
of place.
4)
Cut a piece of Water Soluble Topping the length and width of
the Wet N Gone Fusible®
and pin it on top of the fused yarns and threads.
5)
Using a complimentary thread (cotton, rayon, metallic or polyester),
begin stitching through the layers. Some successful stitching
methods include: stitching a ½” grid using a regular
straight stitch, random S’s using a straight stitch, stipple
quilting, built in decorative stitches (not satin stitches),
or a combination of several. *Note: It is important that the
threads interlock with the various ribbons and threads. This
will ensure a sturdy foundation.
6)
Using an organdy, rayon or silk ribbon finish the edges if desired
by sewing the ribbon around the edge of the scarf/belt.
7)
Rinse the scarf by submerging it in the sink in luke warm water,
rinse it under running water and then let it soak again for
several minutes in another bath of clean water.
8)
Let the scarf/belt air dry on a towel.
9)
Finish the scarf/belt ends by attaching beads or fringe
