Cutting Out & Ironing-On, Permanent Bonding Application (Appliqués)
SULKY THERMOFIX is just like a nonwoven that consists of adhesive fibres for permanent bonding of two different fabrics. With this material the ironing-on of emblems and patches is a breeze. By using THERMOFIX, it is easy and fast to affix embroidery designs onto jackets, shirts and fabrics. Permanently – even after frequent washings! THERMOFIX has a similar texture as nonwovens, therefore the material stays flat while cutting. Arranging of appliqués is a lot easier this way. Crimping and coiling up which happens quite often when using adhesive films, are a thing of the past

IMPORTANT! To protect your iron cover it with silicone paper or baking paper, alternatively use an iron with a non-stick soleplate. Use a hot iron setting that is suitable for your fabric.
THERMOFIX is the optimal stabiliser for the following techniques:
Machine Embroidery/ Textile Collage / Fabric Pictures:
- Iron new, unwashed fabric in the area where a design (embroidery/fabric) is to be applied. Ironing dissolves any fabric finishes, allowing the fabric and adhesive to bond properly.
- Using THERMOFIX roughly cut out the shape of the design.
- Iron THERMOFIX onto the back of your design, placing both between two layers of silicone paper.
Press firmly at high heat setting for 10-15 seconds. - Let it cool down then remove silicone paper and trim excess THERMOFIX close to the edge of contour.
- Place coated design onto base fabric then repeat ironing for 10-15 seconds
at high heat setting.
For ultimate adhesion, ironing of a garment on both sides, back and front, is recommended.
- Using a soft pencil or ball pen, trace your pattern onto THERMOFIX.
- Roughly cut out the shape of the design.
- Iron THERMOFIX onto the back of your design, placing both between two layers of silicone paper.
Press firmly at high heat setting for 10-15 seconds. - Let it cool down
- Remove silicone paper and trim excess THERMOFIX close to the edge of contour.
- Place the design onto base fabric then repeat ironing for 10-15 seconds at high heat setting.
For ultimate adhesion, ironing of a garment on both sides, back and front, is recommended. - Sew over the raw fabric edges as desired using a satin stitch or a running stitch.
- Using a hot iron setting (cotton) press ULTRA STABLE –coated side against fabric- onto the wrong side of your fabric. Use light pressure to press each area for 12-15 seconds without moving the iron Depending on how hot your iron is, it can be helpful if you use a thin ironing cloth.
- Hoop fabric together with ULTRA STABLE – taut as a drum.
- Choose a design suited for appliqués and load it into your embroidery machine.
- Embroider your design selecting many colorful threads.
- Iron THERMOFIX to the back.
- After stitching, carefully cut away excess ULTRA STABLE and THERMOFIX close to the edge of embroidery. ULTRA STABLE remains permanently with the fabric to add stability. The coating with THERMOFIX allows you to iron the emblem on the desired spot of your garment
