To use as a topping, place a piece of Heat N Gone on top of the hooped item with the bumpy side down. After it has been embroidered, tear away as much excess as possible. Remaining pieces can be completely removed by using an iron between 260˚F and 300˚F. As a stabilizer, use a piece that is at least 1 inch larger than the outer perimeter of the hoop. The bumpy side of the stabilizer should be against the fabric. Heat N Gone comes in two sizes: 10 yards x 10" and 25 yards x 10".
