I think we all try to keep our interfacing perfectly folded in a drawer or neatly rolled on tubes. But how many times have you reached for a piece of interfacing only to find a wrinkled mess like this…
Probably like me, more than once.
Luckily there is an easy fix, and it starts at your grocery store. Or perhaps you already have it in your pantry… Parchment Paper!
First, roll out a length of parchment paper onto your ironing board or other pressing surface.
Next, Place your wrinkled interfacing GLUE SIDE DOWN onto the Parchment Paper. Then with your DRY iron set on on a LOW setting (silk/synthetic), slowly slide the warm iron over the wrinkles.
You will see the wrinkles disappear as you slowly move the iron.
The interfacing does not stick to the slippery parchment paper at all, and you can move the next section of wrinkled interfacing onto the paper easily. And since the iron is set below the temperature needed to melt the fusible resin, it is not adversely affected at all.
When you are finished, your once wrinkled interfacing is perfectly flat and smooth, and ready to fuse to your fabric!
