How Do You Iron Backing To Freezer Paper?
If you’re a sewing hobbyist or general crafts guru, chances are you have had to work with freezer paper at one point or another. However, even a seasoned crafter may want to learn a few handy tips in order to simplify future projects. The following is a quick and easy way to iron backing to freezer paper for your next crafting extravaganza. Prepare the materials. To make the process easier, pre-cut your fabric and freezer paper before attempting to iron. Ensure that your iron is set to a medium heat setting. Look for the shine. Freezer paper has a dull side and a shiny side. For the purpose of this project, place the paper on a flat surface with the shiny side facing up. Hold it down. Chances are, your freezer paper came on a roll and has a tendency to curl up. Place a weighted object on each side to prevent the paper from moving. Iron it on. Place a piece of muslin fabric over the freezer paper that you have just laid out. Then run the iron over it several times. Wait for it stiffen.
