Hello everyone,
My first Avlea project is ready to be hemmed. I’ve come as far as pulling the thread to trim off extra fabric.
When using the iron to press the edges, I assume it needs the steam correct? I saw it in the video, but just want to be sure :)
Thank you!
You will want to place your piece front side down on a towel before pressing over any of the stitched area if you don't want your stitches to compress. It's a matter of preference, but if you press the front side, the stitches will flatten. I use a spray bottle and give the whole thing a mist because my steam iron tends to spit and sizzle.
Yes, steam will help. Set your iron for cotton and you'll be good to go!
