Vinyl Weave

[stitchiemom]

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting out the crease in vinyl weave? I have tried folding it the other direction but that has not really helped and I have not ever had to iron it so I don't know how that would work. thanks

Oh don't iron it it will melt.

What you need to do is steam it. Take a big pot of water and boil it and then hold the vinyl over it letting it get warm and manageable. Have a clean towel on the counter and when it gets warm lay the vinyl down and smooth it out. It may take a few times to get it to ly flat but it works. Also you will need to protect your hands from the heat of the steam.

ooooooo thank you so much!! I had not thought of steaming it over a pot.

Thanks for asking the question and thanks for the answer. I've never used vinyl weave, but have thought about getting some for certain projects. I'm glad to know what to do for creases ahead of time LOL.

I have used it before for sippy cups, mugs, and can cooler inserts with no problems of a crease but my current UFO is a set of bookmarks and the weave came folded to my disappointment. Good luck with your choice of future projects.
