Iron On Applique Horses — Set of 12, 4.25,” all different fabrics. You pick color scheme and adhesive backing. These are sold as a set of 12. When you pick your color scheme, the horses will be made of fabrics in that color—each a different fabric. At 4.25″, they’re the perfect size for the 5″ fabric square of a quilt. Add them to bibs and the bottom of a little girl’s twirly skirt. These ponies would look good trotting across the bottom of a messenger bag, or the hem of kitchen curtains. Be sure to choose the correct adhesive backing for your project! (See Below.)
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING HELPFUL INFORMATION AND CHOOSE YOUR ADHESIVE BACKING!
All my appliques are backed with Therm O Web Heat n Bond. This is a heat-activated adhesive. Simply pull the paper backing off the applique, arrange, and press to anchor the applique to your project. The manufacturer sells Heat n Bond in 2 different strengths—Heat n Bond Lite and Heat n Bond Ultra Hold. I can now make your appliques with either one of these products, and you can choose which you would prefer according to your project!
(Because of all the small, detailed parts my multi-layer appliques will automatically be backed with Heat n Bond Ultra. THERE MAY OR MAY NOT BE A PAPER BACKING.)
Heat n Bond LITE is a paper-backed, lightweight film adhesive used for appliques that will be sewn down. The adhesive will not gum up the needle in the sewing process. When this adhesive is used, the applique must be sewn down by machine or hand to avoid lifting in the washer/dryer. (Unless customer-specified, my single layer appliques are backed with LITE.)
Heat n Bond ULTRA HOLD is a paper-backed, slightly heavier film adhesive used for appliques that will not be sewn down. If this adhesive is used, it cannot be sewn through as it will gum up the needle in the sewing process. However, once the applique is ironed down with Heat n Bond Ultra as the adhesive, the applique will NOT lift or peel through multiple COOL washings/dryings, and the appliques stay soft.
If your project will not be washed or dried and the appliques are applied to an ironable surface such as a hat, backpack, or tote bag, you may wish to have the appliques made with Heat n Bond ULTRA because the appliques will not be sewn down.
If your project will receive lots of wear and washings/dryings such as baby clothes, quilts or other garments, you may wish to consider having the appliques made with Heat n Bond LITE, which requires that you sew the applique down.
Please choose and let me know which adhesive backing adhesive you would like for your appliques when you order. All my appliques will now come with an instruction sheet. Thanks!
