Green House is an easy raw edge applique pattern.  The  pattern is first  traced onto a piece of freezor paper using a black sharpie. As each piece is required, the pattern is cut apart and the freezor paper pattern piece is fused to the right side of the appropriate fabric.

Lutradur is polyester, non woven fabric available in several weights. Although has a web like structure and appears lightweight, it is very strong. It can be fed directly through a printer, painted, burned and stitched. It is sturdy enough to be used in the construction of books, but can support the weight of embellishments and photos. Since it is a non-woven product, the edges don’t tear or unravel so they do not require any finishing.

 Foils are bonded to a clear cellophane layer which lies on top. When using foil, the color side is always facing up. They can be used with fusible adhesives, glues or any tacky product.


Methods of Application
Jones Tones foil glue may be applied with a paint brush, stamp, stencil or silk screen. It is water soluble so may be washed off tools and fabric while still wet. Wait for adhesive to dry completely on fabric before applying foil.
