Step 2: Prepare Applique Designs using method A or B. A. Applique with printable HeatnBond EZ Print Lite sheets: Using your inkjet printer, print out applique pattern pieces using Heat n Bond EZ Print Lite sheets.

Allow 5-10 seconds for ink to dry. B. Applique with HeatnBond Lite: Trace applique designs on the smooth side of Heat n Bond Lite.

• Step 3: Fusing Applique Instructions - Iron adhesive pieces to wrong sides of fabrics with a medium heat iron, no steam. Press for 2 seconds. Repeat until all surfaces have been bonded to the fabric. Let cool.

Step 4: Cut out applique pieces. Peel off paper liner. Place applique shape, adhesive side down, on the right side of the fabric. Press and hold iron for 6 seconds on each section until the entire piece is bonded. Let cool. Tips: Ironing Heat N Bond Fusible Interfacing – Light Weight to the wrong side of fabric block helps stabilize the fabric when sewing on applique pieces, keeps threads from showing through and helps maintain fabric size.
