FINISHING

Blocking

Pin Front and Back panels to schematic size. Using a steamer or steam setting on your iron, hold machine about an 1” from fabric. Steam fabric until slightly damp. Allow to dry.

Note: If you would rather wet block or spray block, test on swatch first.  In addition, wet blocking and spray blocking will take extra time to dry. 

You are amazing! See you tomorrow!
