HEAT SEAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR EMBROIDERY

Apply heat for 5-7 seconds to hold design in place.  Turn over and heat from the back for 20-25 seconds.

Check your fabric to be sure it can tolerate the required heat.  If necessary, reduce heat and extend dwell time. You may need to experiment until you find the ideal combination of time and temperature.
