Detail of larger zig zag cut from Template

New Black Stencil with Large Scallop and Zig – Zag edges for easier shaping of the Net.

The material used is more flexible than the last batch of Acrylic templates made.

As the template is made out of a plastic material it will become damaged if you cut into it.

Please wipe them before using as the manufacturing residue might be on the edges of the template.

I wipe the templates before mailing them but wipe or wash with a soapy cloth before using to be sure.

It is better to trace and then cut around the tracing lines on the net rather than cutting against the template.

The Scallop and Zig Zag are larger than the medium template.

Scallop dimensions are 5 cm wide x 2 cm in height approximately

Zig Zag dimensions are 5 cm at the widest point x 4 cm deep approximately

Trace around the edge and cut.

Depending on the colour of the net you can use a pen or pencil.

I find it easier to use a curved (blade) pair of scissors to cut my scallops.

Size – 20 cm long x 10.5 cm wide x 2mm depth ( Approximately)

The Zig Zag side should be used with care as it has pointy tips.

Treat with Care.

Price £5.35 each

These are the light weight  flexible Sheets suitable for Applique work etc.

Be cautious in using some very thin sheets as they don’t work well with the higher temperatures needed with some Applique work.

Double up the thinner sheets depending on your needs—Always experiment first on scraps.

Teflon (PTFE) sheets are heat resistant up to about 260 – 290 degrees Centigrade depending on the thickness.

They have very low friction properties which make them extremely slippery.

Teflon resists weathering and chemicals and has excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties.

Used for Applique work where you have glue residue or inks or Fusible interfacings.

The Teflon sheet is placed under your work to protect your ironing board and over the Applique to prevent the iron sticking.

They are non-stick and re usable over and over depending on their use.

Easily wiped clean with Baby wipes or similar.

They also protect your work from direct heat and the fabric from scorching.

Not to be used with steam, use the iron with the steam function off.

The Teflon can get warm with long applications of heat so be cautious.

When ironing delicate silk fabrics, the sheet will allow more pressure to be used without damage.

The Teflon sheets can be used on your machine bed when sewing or embroidering as the fabric glides over it without snagging.

This might require punching a hole for the needle and making sure the sheet doesn’t move when sewing.

Painters tape does not leave residue and works well but test anything new first.

Small sheet sizes approximately 245 mm x 200 mm x 0.06 mm

Always store flat or rolled–folding will cause damage to the Teflon sheet.

Teflon (PTFE) can become dangerous if heated over temperatures of 300 degrees Centigrade.

PVC Insulation electrical tape which can be used for joining Tutu hooping.
