Shape cloth circles
Shape fabric circles - iron over cardboard and aluminum foil
preparation
- Determine the diameter of the circle
- Cut template out of cardboard
- Cut fabric circle with 1 cm seam allowances around it
- Alufoil about circular, but with about 3 cm addition tear / cut
- Provide iron with underlay - if possible, use a very hard ironing pad or a correspondingly large wooden kitchen board: The fabric will not be pressed into the ironing pad during subsequent pressing, but will remain perfectly flat and can not escape pressure from the iron :-)
Action
From the three prepared materials a? Sandwich? put on the table in front of you:
- at the bottom the aluminum foil
- on it approximately in the middle the fabric and again on it
- in the middle the template made of cardboard.
Whom it seems safer: So that nothing slips later, possibly fix the seam allowances of the fabric on the template with double-sided adhesive tape ...
Carefully fold the aluminum foil piece by piece along the template from the bottom around the entire stack towards the center of the sandwich, and press it along the template. The advantage is the following: You no longer have to try to get hold of the often low seam allowance with your fingers, hold it to put the stencil around and then press it - if you used to iron the first few centimeters around, you often slipped fabric and so on. Stencil and from the circle was nothing :-(
Go on
Gently squeeze the edges of the foil with the iron over medium heat (do not iron as with the bedclothes ...), but piece by piece put down the iron, press, lift and put down on the next surface, press ...) , Thus, the mini-folds are ironed evenly on the edge of the fabric and form only tiny wrinkles, but do not move.
In the very last operation the? Sandwich? Carefully turn it so that it is in front of you with the aluminum foil towards the ceiling: press it once more around - if necessary raise the temperature of the iron ...
Turn again and carefully separate the layers: voila: The fabric is circular and it can go on ... Unfortunately, my photographed fabric had a polyester content and did not like it? press ...
