Laminating sheet [PALAM01]
When using printed fabric for projects that are often in direct contact with your hands, such as bags and pouches, affix a laminating sheet (sold separately) to the printed fabric before cutting or sewing to minimize the color transfer. Before affixing the laminating sheet, peel the backing film from the fabric.
When sewing with this laminate sheet on your fabric, please use a non-stick presser foot or place tracing paper on the laminate. Please sew only with straight or zigzag stitches.
Without either of the above, the presser foot could stick to the laminate causing bunched stitches and the potential for needle breakage and injury.
- Sew a test stitch before sewing laminated fabric.
- Do not wash projects made using fabric with a laminating sheet affixed. If it gets dirty, wipe gently with a damp cloth.
- Do not iron fabric with a laminating sheet affixed.
