As a hobby sewer, you benefit from a selection that is tailored to precise cutting, uncomplicated weaving and clean application.

Which material is suitable for what?

• Cards: Cardboard and craft paper are ideal for greetings cards, packaging and paper crafts. Pay attention to the thickness of the paper and use suitable cutting mats and folding tools.
• Iron-On (HTV): For T-shirts, bags or textile projects. Mirror designs, weave carefully and apply with an iron or transfer press - always test according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Vinyl: Self-adhesive vinyl is suitable for lettering, window or wall decorations and long-lasting stickers. Distinguish between removable and permanent vinyl depending on the application.
• Miscellaneous: Here you will find special foils, transfer aids and other plotter materials for special effects and applications.

Tips on processing and storage

• Always make a test cut and adjust the blade, pressure and speed to your material.
• With Iron-On: Mirror the design, use protective film or cloth when pressing and work in stages.
• Apply vinyl with transfer tape, press on cleanly and remove air bubbles with a squeegee.
• Store the material flat or rolled up, dry and protected from light to preserve the adhesive and material properties.
