Step 5

Step 5: Finishing

Secure the fusible interfacing onto the jute fabric using either a press or iron, and set the lace pattern on the jute in the same manner.

Settings:
Iron: Medium heat (level 2), 8 seconds
Press: 130 - 165°C, 8 seconds

Important: Prior to pressing the fabric with a press or iron, place a piece of fabric on the interfacing to prevent the material from potentially sticking on the hot surface.

You can also change the motif of your table décor to your own specific liking. For example, you can create a more rustic look by removing some of the jute threads, resulting in a fringed appearance.
