Woven stunning is generally made of 100% cotton. It allows a cleaner result than the nonwoven thermallant. To cut out the woven thermal, the fabric straight must be respected. Thus, your dirty fabric will keep a "natural" drape and a good outfit.

Conversely, the nonwoven stubbing can be cut in any direction. Simpler use, the non-woven thermallant brings a more rigid and thicker appearance. It is often chosen for small projects.

The double-sided thermosomer has two sticky faces. It allows to stick two fabrics together more easily. The double-sided thermallant is often used to remove clothing holes or make seamless retouching. This stubbing is very useful for making invisible seamless hems. Its appearance looks more like paper since it has two sticky parts with a protected paper with a protective paper. You will need to apply it to your fabric with a very hot iron. Then once cooled, take off your protective paper and place over the second part of your fabric. It will only remain to give a last stroke.

Thermal clearance

The thermal and thermal escutcheons are ideal for customizing or repairing accessories or clothing, thanks to a choice of pattern different. Their sticky side allows them to adhere effectively to the fabric when there is a contact with a heat source (the use of iron).
