Ironing interfacing backing

Posted in Peeking Behind the Seam

A peek behind the seams today. I’m bulk ironing interfacing backing to a new batch of wristlets and makeup bags. I cut out some more fall/Halloween items & today I am prepping them for sewing.

I use Pellon SF-101 for my interfacing. It gives the wristlets & makeup bags strength without a lot of bulk. This interfacing fuses with the fabric, giving it strength, so the final wristlet or makeup bag is sturdier and will hold up to everyday use.

The iron I am using is a Chi titanium ceramic. My last iron failed and my back up iron failed as well, – bad day for sure! I went on a trip locally to find an iron asap, and found this super iron. I didn’t know Chi made irons, but I figured since they make hair straightening irons, I’d try it.

Turns out I really like this iron. It gets hot, can handle being used for hours, and the ceramic plate doesn’t stick to the interfacing. or fabric. A really smooth ironing experience and it’s not heavy either. Not an endorsement, just my personal experience. 🙂 Enjoy your day!
