1 Place the interfacing pattern piece shiny (adhesive) side down onto the WS of your fabric pattern piece, smooth down and carefully match up all edges. Place a clean damp cloth on top of the interfacing and set your iron to the interfacing manufacturer’s recommended heat setting. See Fig a.

Fig a The steam generated by the damp cloth (here I’ve used a checked tea towel) ensures a strong bond between the interfacing and the fabric.

2 Applying moderate pressure to the interfacing and fabric, press the iron onto the interfacing through the damp cloth. Working from the centre to the outer edges, press each part of the interfacing for the manufacturer’s recommend time until the interfacing is completely bonded to the fabric. See Fig b.

Fig b There should be no creases or bubbles in your interfacing.
