A Perfect Pattern Match
Here are some tips for creating a perfect pattern match...FAST!
Begin by examining the fabric and determining how much needs to be turned under along the selvage edge to create a match with the joining piece. Press under the edge, down the length of material that you are matching.
On the under side of the fold, add narrow width Iron-On Bonding Tape along the very edge, next to the fold. Remove the release paper and place the edge over the other piece of fabric lining up the pattern.
Rowley Company Fringe Adhesive can also be used instead of the Iron-On Bonding Tape. Place small dots of Fringe Adhesive along the fold on the reverse side.
When using any adhesive product, test first.
Line up the patterns so that they match and press the join with a steam iron to set the adhesive.
After the match has been created take the fabric to the sewing machine and stitch in the crease from the wrong side. The adhesive prevents the fabric from puckering or stretching as you sew.
