STRETCHFIX
- Resinated, elastic, heat activated fabric with paper backing.
- As it's a double-sided adhesive, it allows to combine two different fabrics together while not losing any elasticity.
- Used as a ribbon, it gives good structure to elastic garnments' hems.
- Apply it by clamping it with a flat iron for about 10-12 seconds on the wrong side of the fabric. Remove protective film and do the same thing for the right side of the fabric.
- Washable at 40°.
