Everything you need to know about your new Madam Sew Fusible Hem Tape!

The tape has 2 sides that become sticky when pressed with a hot iron or a pressing machine. One side of the tape is protected with a backing paper strip that is safe to iron. This paper backing on the tape lets you secure the tape in 2 steps, allowing you to stay in control at all times.

1. Position the strip on your fabric and iron over the backing tape until one side of the tape is fixed to the fabric. Hold the iron on the tape for at least 20 seconds. Do not use steam.  

2. Remove the backing tape.

3. Position another piece or part of the fabric over the tape and iron on the fabric (top layer) until both sides are fixed. Do not use steam.  

4. Let cool down. The 2 fabric pieces are now attached.

You can also use this tape as basting tape. Let the glue cool down before you sew over it. If the glue is still hot, it can leave a sticky residue on your needle.

***Warning: Never iron directly on the sticky mesh strip. Always iron on the protective backing tape or on the fabric!***
