DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

• If stitching a grid or specific pattern, use an iron safe fabric marking pen and sketch the lines you want to stitch directly onto the Sew-Shrink Fabric. This product does not have a right or wrong side.
• Place the Sew-Shrink Fabric behind your fabric with the drawn lines facing out. Pin if necessary.
• Stitch on the lines or do random stitching such as stipple quilting, circles, etc. *Remember, the closer the stitching the more wrinkles you will have!
• Heavily steam the piece from the Sew-Shrink Fabric side. Do NOT touch the iron to the Sew-Shrink Fabric or fabric during the shrinking process. The steam will do all the work!
• Now your wrinkled fabric is made and you are ready to trim, shape and insert it into your project! Have fun!
• Sew-Shrink Fabric is washer/dryer and dry cleaner safe.

IMPORTANT TIPS:

Remember to test your fabric for the shrinkage amount before beginning your project. Some fabrics will shrink/wrinkle more and some less due to the nature of the fiber content. Generally you will obtain 30% shrinkage. Again, it is important to test first! Start with an 8” square of fabric and see what size it shrinks to. If you are at 30%, the square should be 6” after steaming. This will help you determine what size your beginning fabric should be.
