Description
For appliqué, patches and textile collages Thermofix is the tool of choice — press on rather than baste. At 50 cm wide and 5 m on the roll there is material for several projects. 50 g/m² — the figure that tells you how much stability to expect.
Working over a large area, press from the middle outwards so no air is trapped. Iron-on materials take part of the hooping work off your hands: whatever already sticks to the fabric cannot shift while you stitch. Before the first design on a new fabric, a test piece with the same material pays off.
What Sulky Thermofix 50 cm × 5 m is suitable for
- embroidery in direct contact with skin
- baby and children's clothing
- covering scratchy embroidery backs
Sewing tips
- Die Klebefaser zwischen die beiden Stofflagen legen und aufbügeln.
- Mit Backpapier oder einem Bügeltuch arbeiten, damit nichts am Eisen hängen bleibt.
- Vor dem Aufbügeln die Temperatur an einem Reststück prüfen.
- Für Applikationen erst kleben, dann umnähen — das hält am längsten.
- Die Verbindung ist dauerhaft und lässt sich nicht mehr trennen.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a pressing cloth?
It is the simplest insurance against adhesive on your sole plate. Baking paper does the same job and lets you see through it what is happening.
Where do bubbles under the surface come from?
Usually from sliding the iron instead of setting it down. Work from the middle outwards and let the iron rest briefly, then the air escapes to the edges.
Can I embroider over it?
Yes. Once pressed on, the surface behaves like the fabric itself. On very dense designs an additional stabiliser underneath can still make sense. A test piece quickly shows whether extra support is needed.
Do I need a heat press?
No, a household iron will do. A press works more evenly and faster, which tells on large areas — but it is not a requirement. Anyone working with it a lot notices the difference mainly in evenness.
