TERIAL MAGIC
Fabric Stabilizers
Ever wanted to transfer a complicated pattern onto fabric and your usual transfer techniques just don’t make the grade.
Terial Magic may just be the answer. Soaking your fabric in the non-toxic, organic compound, allowing it to dry, ironing it to make it stiffer still then running it through the normal paper tray on your computer makes transferring a pattern a piece of cake. But the best part is, you can then rinse out the spray formula and your fabric returns to the way it was before so it fits into your hoop easily and stitching is not hampered at all.
It has a multitude of other uses such as machine embroidery, fabric flowers, arts and crafts to name just a few. To expand your creativity visit : terialarts.com
