Steam-A-Seam is the choice for all your no-sew needs. It is the no-fuss fusible that makes any project quicker and easier. This innovative fusible web allows for a temporary hold to your materials. Instead of ironing Steam-A-Seam to your appliqué fabric, simply stick it to the wrong side of the fabric and cut out your appliqué pieces. The only time you will press with an iron is at the very end when your entire appliqué, even multiple layer appliqué, is positioned in place.
Change your mind at any time!
Nothing is permanent until pressed with an iron. If you change your mind about the appliqué fabric you are using, simply peel off Steam-A-Seam and stick it to new fabric.
Since you haven't fused Steam-A-Seam to your applique material, you can remove it from your fabric scraps and use both the excess fabric and Steam-A-Seam for other projects. There is no waste.
"Sticky Back" vs. "Double Stick":
Two types of Steam-A-Seam are available.
The bond is the same but you may prefer one over the other depending on your project.
The original, Steam-A-Seam Sticky Back, has the pressure sensitive adhesive (the "stick") on one side which allows for a temporary hold to the appliqué material. It shifts easily on the second material allowing you to quickly reposition your appliqué pieces until pressed with an iron for a permanent bond. Once fused the bond is the same as Steam-A-Seam 2.
Steam-A-Seam 2 Double Stick has the pressure sensitive on both sides which allows for a temporary hold to both the appliqué material and the background material. You can hold your project vertically and the appliqué pieces stay in place and are still repositionable until fused with an iron.
Before fusing, tack your project to a wall or try on a garment to check appliqué placement. You're able to reposition pieces while you're wearing them. Once fused the bond is the same as the original Steam-A-Seam.
